IRAQI TURKMENS TAKE UP ARMS IN FIGHT AGAINST ISIS




Tel Afar, Iraq – The Turkmen community in Iraq's northern city of Kirkuk have begun to take up arms after militants linked with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) reportedly captured the Turkmen-majority city of Tel Afar.

"Turkmens have the right to use weapons to protect themselves and they will do so," said Iraqi Turkmen Front Leader Ershad Salihi during a press conference attended by armed Turkmen fighters.

Salihi said that necessary measures should be taken immediately as the developments in Iraq were heading toward a sectarian war.

"None of the sides will come out with a victory," he said. "Iraqi people have suffered, but Turkmens have been the most negatively affected by the recent developments in the country."

Unrest in northern and western parts of Iraq began last week after ISIL militants, along with other armed groups, seized Iraqi northern city of Mosul.

ISIS, which already had control of parts of Syria, has extended its reach into Iraq since June 10, when it seized Iraq's second-largest city Mosul and soon afterwards took near-complete control of the northern Iraqi city of Tikrit.

Iraq has seen a marked increase in sectarian violence between Sunni and Shia Muslims in recent months, which the Iraqi government blames on ISIS.

It would be a historic point to help the Turks in Iraq. Maybe, they could set up a short buffer zone, and take the Turkish populated areas under control?

We should've solely supported and helped Iraqi and Syrian Turkmens for whole time.

I would say, one Turk is enough to take that risk.

According to the Ankara Treaty of 1926, Turkey is guarantor in this area. Turkey can take Mosul and Kirkuk, if the territorial integrity of Iraq is broken

And I answer you that a war is not easy to manage, you need a lot of money and a country with a high growlth like Turkey will not take the risk.
