YILDIRIM MEETS BARAZANI

Prime-Minister Yıldırım, having proceeded to Erbil from Baghdad, said, ‘The PKK is the same as the PYD is the same as the YPG. We hear the name of an organisation after each occurrence. But let them not think we are taken in by this.’ Iraqi Kurdish Regional Administration leader Mesut Barzani, for his part, gave a message of solidarity in the fight against terrorism. Visiting a camp where Peshmerga forces are posted, Yıldırım monitored ISIL positions along with Barzani through binoculars. Security service chief Fidan also took part in the visit.
