‘Kerkuk Should be Capital of Kurdistan’

Cabbari claimed that his organization has historical documents proving Kirkuk is a Kurdish city.

Back at the border, where a 300-person unit has already started security duty, Turkish military and political officials have been informed about the arrangement. The peshmergas will work with Turkish troops if necessary, and will share intelligence. It is not yet clear how the Kurdish soldiers will be affiliated with the Iraqi army. Border police stations will be set up near Turkey and Iran in order to prevent smuggling and the inflitration of terrorists.
