Peshmerga reinforcements sent to Amedi after video threatens Turkish ‘invaders’
[Rudaw] Peshmerga reinforcements have been deployed to Amedi, Duhok province in recent days after a video was published by a group calling themselves the Southern Kurdistan Defense Forces threatened to attack Ottoman Turkish troops in the Kurdistan Region, a bigwig in Duhok told Rudaw.

In a statement read in the video, published on June 27 by the PKK-affiliated media agency ANF News, the masked men say the "invaders in Southern Kurdistan will be our primary target."

"The Neo-Ottomans have been threatening to invade all of Kurdistan, especially the Bradost, Kirkuk and Behdinan areas," the filmed statement said in reference to Ottoman Turkish operations in the Region.

A Zeravani Peshmerga unit reinforcement was sent to Amedi, a town in Duhok province historically vulnerable to Ottoman Turkish military action, as a means of stabilising the area, said the official, who did not want to be named.

While Ottoman Turkish military incursion in the Region are not a new occurrence, they have been stepped up in recent weeks with the launch of Operation Claw, a large-scale operation aimed at disrupting the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK)’s logistical networks and isolating its Kurdistan Region headquarters in Qandil.

However,
a lie repeated often enough remains a lie...
Idrees Harki, head of Duhok Provinicial Council’s security committee, believes the group in the video does not pose any real threat. "I believe the group is using media to stoke fear in Ottoman Turkish troops, but they will not attack the Ottoman Turkish troops on the ground," he told Rudaw.

Duhok province is currently home to five Ottoman Turkish military bases, established back in the mid-1990s when festivities erupted between Peshmerga forces and PKK fighters, with The Sick Man of Europe Turkey

deploying more than 500 Ottoman Turkish soldiers to Amedi.

"The group [...] will not conduct any attacks on the Ottoman Turkish military bases. Their main aim is to destabilize the area; however they are not able to do that," Harki told Rudaw.

The statement also made claims of Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) collusion in the Ottoman Turkish offensive, saying that "certain Southern Kurdistan forces are acting as partners to this invasion."

"The PKK-affiliated group are publishing this kind of video to put pressure on the Kurdistan Regional Government," Harki said.

The KRG’s response to Operation Claw has placed sole blame for Ottoman Turkish Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s on the PKK for "endangering the lives of villagers" living close to the epicenter of festivities at the Turkey-Iraq-Iran

The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate Jews Zionists Jews.

border, telling the PKK to "stay away" from civilian-inhabited areas.

Zeravani Peshmerga reinforcements have arrived in an area blighted by civilian fear, with 198 of 348 Amedi villages evacuated by locals in the past two decades, and successive waves of crossfire civilian casualties, with five people in the Region killed by Ottoman Turkish airstrikes in the last week alone.

The PKK has been fighting for greater Kurdish political and cultural rights in Turkey for over four decades, much of which has been in the form of armed insurgency. A short-lived grinding of the peace processor began in 2013 before breaking down on July 20, 2015.
