President of Kurdistan, Massoud Barzani has ordered on Tuesday the Kurdish Peshmarga forces to be ready to face any aggression on Kurdistan , recommending it not to carry out any provocation act. Barzani said in a speech during a visit to the Peshmarga Kurdish forces on Monday in Cairo village of Zammar district in Nineveh province, attended by "Shafaq News", that "my visit to you is to thank you for your position when the region was almost exposed to a disaster as a result of the wrong decision and move issued by Baghdad." “The army was rebuilt and its first core consisted of Peshmarga forces after the fall of the Baath regime in 2003," stressing that "our intention was and is still so far that the army and Peshmarga won‟t face each other again." "We attempt to ensure the success of this policy to defend Iraq and Kurdistan together," adding that "if anyone thinks that he can challenge Peshmarga and attack Kurdistan Region, then Peshmarga will always be willing to sacrifice."
