Iran-Farda Weekly concerning the disability of ISIS to occupy Kubani by Kurdish women and men’s brave resistance had an interview with Nazem Dabbagh, the representative of KRG of Iraq in Iran, of which the main lines follow:
About the fortune of Syrian Kurds during history Dabbagh said that Kurds was put between two emperors of Ottoman and Abbasside and got divided into four groups after ottoman’s fall. While Syrian Kurds had not the right of citizen, there was no choice to resist and confront with central government. Some of them abandoned their homes migrated to other countries. Therefore, Syrian Kurds have been affected by P.K.K group believed to form a Kurdish government in all Kurdish regions of the Middle East.
In his view, before Ocalan, the leader of P.K.K, captured Syrian Kurds had not that freedom of action. He also believes that Bashar Assad’s rude behavior toward Muslim-Brotherhood and Slafi caused them to be united. The next matter relating to Syria was the foreign interference that was generally made by the regional countries. Thus, it was in such atmosphere that Kurds with the record of fighting could after while grew fairly independent from central government. When the oppositions against Bashar Assad started Kurds decided to be neutral, since they did not know which side would defend their rights. Following changes indicated that these doubts were true and pertinent. Dabbagh believes Kubani was surrounded through three parts of which by ISIS and one led to Turkey borders, namely, it was like an island in ISIS’s dominion. Turkey stimulated ISIS to attack this town, whereas it is an important point for KRG of Iraq. Infact Kubani is the part of those regions that some Arabian rulers, Ba’ath in especial, wanted to eliminate it from non-Arabians. He said it was due to this resistance that Kubani turned to be the reputation for Kurds. Had it fallen, the secrecy of their resistance would, too.
About the participation of women in the resistance against ISIS Dabbagh said: they for some reasons have had effective role in Kurdish triumph. Firstly there were many of them in the regions where Pishmergas were fighting. Indeed they were in the confluence spot of Kurds and governments. Like Mrs. Hiru Ibrahim, Mr. Jalal Talibani’s wife, always accompany him in the process of resistance. But Kubane was the scene that women were directly fighting, since when inhumanity increase, so does the resistance.
