No..No tanks, no guns, no nothing!

We're not Syria. Let them protest all they want, they'll get over it.

no,of course we are not syria.
but we can`t let them to do this.they will hurt other people,and they will also destory many familiys income by destroying shops.
KRG should not shot them,but fire with machine guns over them,to scare them away

That's just awful. There is no shooting "over" them, that will only make the protesters from last year to return and for this to get 100 times bigger. Thank god you don't make these decisions. In what world did it become right to shoot "over" people with machine guns.

in half of this world. maybe you havent noticed it,but we don`t live in a world of happines and peace. have you never seen countries call in their armies and order the soldiers to shoot in the air to scare protesters away? that happens in in half of the worlds countries if a large violent protest breaks out.
in fact,many countries shoot the protesters(which i don`t support).

Kurdistan Regional Government announced its refusal to statements made by a number of officials in the Islamic Republic of Iran on the Israeli presence in the territory of Kurdistan and the statement reads as follows:

Since the number of authorized officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran is different from the statements without basis that the Kurdistan Region has become a center for training and intelligence activities of the Israeli intelligence organization.

There is no doubt that these statements are not the first time to make some officials in the Islamic Republic of Iran such statements without the presence of evidence and the reasons for such charges and statements. Therefore, the Kurdistan Regional Government can not remain silent any longer to the charges, and that assure the public that there is no center and the headquarters of an Israeli in the Kurdistan Region, and that these charges are baseless, and strongly reject such charges.

Although we are confident that officials in Islamic Iran are fully aware of these facts that all these statements far from the truth, because we asked during the meetings of senior officials between the territory of Kurdistan and the Islamic Republic of Iran, to provide evidence, but has not yet been able to provide evidence to prove the truth of their words.

Kurdistan Region is committed to international laws and norms of diplomacy, and strive to be our relations on the basis of common interests and mutual respect.

From this point of his exhibition, the Kurdistan has a sound policy for the development of relations with neighboring countries and respect for international laws, and will not accept the platform using its territory to attack neighboring countries, at the same time reject any interference in the affairs of the other party.

There is no doubt that such statements do not serve the relations between the Kurdistan Region and the neighboring Islamic Republic of Iran, at the same time is an attempt to drag the Kurdistan Region to the Iranian-Israeli conflict. We do not wish in any way to be part of this conflict.

And to show the facts, we demand from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iraq federal claim of evidence from the Islamic Republic of Iran to provide documents to show for all the facts and to refrain from making such charges, which have no basis in the words of some Iranian officials.

We hope the officials of Islamic Republic of Iran, as they declare their intentions good through meetings and formal meetings in the development of relations with the Kurdistan Region and the rest of Iraq, to ​​respect this way, the principles of diplomatic relations and not allow for such statements have no basis, because it's time to put an end to such These statements are unfounded.

The Kurdish Regional Guards are the official and legal security force for the Kurdish Regional Government.

The Peshmurga also has the tightest operational security in Iraq. This tight operational security is why little data is available about the Peshmerga organization. That lack of data is why the Kurdish Regional Guards are not listed in the Iraqi Security Force Order of Battle.

The majority of the verifiable public details about the Kurdish Regional Guards have come from leaks during political negotiations between the Kurdish Regional Government and the Iraqi Government. There are only five verifiable items about the current organization and size of the Peshmerga forces:

1. The Kurdish Regional Guards are funded by the Iraqi government for a strength of 100,000 total personnel. An additional 90,000 pensions were also negotiated and funded for the peshmurga.

2. Of those 100,000 active personnel, two divisions (30,000) are to be transferred to the Iraqi Army (didnt work out). They are the future 15th Mountain Division and 16th Mountain Division. Despite this part of the agreement being settled in 2008, both divisions have not been officially commissioned as yet. (did not work out)

3. There have been negotiations to transfer the Kurdish Regional Guards Special Police Division (~12,000) into the Iraqi National Police. Public reporting indicates the negotiations have been inconclusive so far. (did not work out)

4. The 34th Peshmerga Brigade has been partnered at company and battalion level with the Iraqi Army 4/1 Brigade in northern Diyala Province since at least April 2009. The 34th Peshmerga Brigade is planned to be part of the 15th Mountain Division when transferred. The 34th Peshmerga Brigade was the Kurdish brigade that was involved in the old Khaniqin incident that the press continues to cite when writing about Kurdish-Iraqi problems. Whatever problem the 34th KRG Brigade had with the Iraqi Army appears to have been settled some time ago.

5. The Kurdish Regional Guards does have some armor. When the old Iraqi 1st Mechanized Division and 5th Mechanized Division surrendered in 2003, the surviving armor was seized by the Peshmerga. How much of that armor is operational or salvageable is not publically known.


There are some additional general details that can be estimated from these known facts.

* Projecting the local police component for the three Kurdish provinces at 15,000 to 30,000 personnel, there are an additional five-to-six military/paramilitary division equivalents in the Kurdish Regional Guards.

* Peshmerga force contribution are 15,000-30,000 Police, one-to-two INP divisions (12,000-24,000) and four IA divisions (60,000).

* Each of those Kurdish divisions will probably have (at least) a battalion's worth of salvaged armor.

At least 40,000 Kurds are already serving in the Iraqi Army and the existing Department of Border Enforcement Region 1 is a Kurdish division in.
