Responding to claims that Til Kocher border crossing is under Hashd al-Shaabi and Iraqi army control, a commander for YPG denied these reports, saying that was false information.

Speaking to YPG Press Office right at the border gate, the YPG commander Bedran Dêrik said; “We have our units ready at our borders.”

The commander underlined that neither Peshmerga forces, nor Hashd al-Shaabi and Iraqi army have crossed their borders, saying that will not be accepted.
