Kurdistan Regional President Massoud Barzani said that only peshmerga forces joined the operation to liberate Shengal, clearly denying presence of other forces which include HPG, YJA-STAR, YBŞ, HPC and YPJ-Shengal.
Speaking on Mount Shengal after its liberation by Kurdish and Êzîdî forces earlier today, Kurdistan Regional President Massoud Barzani said that only peshmerga forces joined the operation to liberate Shengal.
The Kurdish president clearly denied the presence of other forces in and around Shengal, which include HPG, YJA-STAR, YBŞ, HPC and YPJ-Shengal.
Barzani said Shengal has been liberated only by peshmerga forces, and thanked the international coalition and U.S. assistance in the offensives.
KDP MADE ISIS A PRESENT OF SHENGAL
As is repeatedly highlighted by the Êzîdî people themselves, ISIS gangs entered the region and committed a genocide after KDP peshmerga forces left Shengal town centre on 3 August, 2014.
Barzani's remarks are controverted by an ANF footage from Shengal operation today.
