題目: [unSYSTEM] PYD kurdish anarchists and KDP kurdish statists in the syria/iraq conflict

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-28925179

"In short, the answer is - by and large - no. The West is officially
arming only the Iraqi Kurds, even though Kurdish groups from Syria and
Turkey affiliated with a US-designated terrorist group - the Kurdistan
Worker's Party (PKK) - are playing an equally, if not more critical,
role in the fight against IS."

"The YPG has been exceptionally successful in fighting IS, in many cases
outperforming the Western-backed Free Syrian Army (FSA).

While IS, formerly known as Isis, has made alarming gains against
FSA-aligned groups, the YPG has successfully ousted the jihadist group
from Kurdish towns and cities.

But Mr Barzani in Iraqi Kurdistan has one thing that Ocalan does not:
widespread international legitimacy and relatively stable relations with
the West.

Perhaps that is why the KDP has expressed its unease with the
increasingly prominent role of the PKK-affiliated forces in fighting IS
in Iraq and rescuing thousands of Yazidi civilians trapped on Mt Sinjar."

"Some KDP officials have downplayed the role of the YPG and PKK fighters
in these efforts. Yet, according to the testimonies Yazidis who escaped
Mt Sinjar, and numerous journalists who visited the mountain, YPG and
PKK fighters have played an enormously important part in the rescue and
protection efforts."

"The problem is not a matter of weapons… it's about the will to resist."

"The YPG helped re-secure the Rabia border crossing in June after the
Iraqi army - and reportedly some Iraqi Kurdish Peshmerga - fled their
posts. "
