Iraq crisis: Arming Kurds on EU agenda in Brussels

EU foreign ministers are holding an emergency meeting in Brussels on Friday to discuss plans to arm Iraq's Kurds against an extremist insurgency.

France and the US have already begun to supply weapons to the Kurds, whose Peshmerga fighters are trying to halt an advance by Islamic State militants.

On Thursday, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki resigned and conceded power to Haider al-Abadi, Iraq's deputy speaker.

Over a million Iraqis remain displaced from their homes, the UN says.

The UN has declared the situation in the country a "level three emergency", its highest level of humanitarian crisis.

A UN Security Council meeting on Friday is expected to approve a resolution threatening sanctions against any country which finances or supports IS.

Satan worshippers? Well they are known for getting down with goats and that is the way of Satanists...

I support arming Kurds. It may even mean the Kurds could have their own state because they've developed enough local support, an actual ability to be economically independent if they take Kirkuk and keep the pipeline, and lastly a proven ability to run what appears to be a democratic and stable country that provides aid, representation, and equal rights to non-Kurds.

Worshipping Satan is far better than the horror crimes of Isis.

This stuff won't be happening today if Iraq, Syria/Lebanon, Kurdistan, Palestine/Jordan/Israel were part of Turkey today as successor to the Ottoman empire, the whole region would've been peaceful, secular and prosperous.

Lol, as suggested by the dozens of anti-ottoman uprisings in the Middle East and the Balkans, and the countless crimes the ottoman Turks have committed against their subjects. Sorry, but turkish imperialism and genocide is still turkish imperialism and genocide. Independence is far more valuable than quality of life.
