Iraqi MP demands probe into training Syrian Kurdish soldiers in Kurdistan

Dale McEwan, Press TV, Arbil

Training Syrian Kurdish soldiers in the Kurdistan Region violates Iraq’s constitution and interferes in Syria’s affairs, said Iraqi MP Hussein al-Assadi. He is now demanding a probe after the Kurdistan Region’s President Massoud Barzani said Syrian Kurdish soldiers who defected from the Syrian army have received military training in the region. President Barzani said the training will help the soldiers protect their Kurdish areas in Syria.
