Concerning Kubani events Etemad Press asked for Mr. Dabbagh’s view of which the most important parts as followed:

In the response to the question he answered: the confirmation of 40% occupation of Kubani by ISIS is under doubt. But he stated that presently by Kubanian people resisting against ISIS it seems it will be difficult to occupy this city. Although they have been surrounded by three sides, by such these little weapons they have been able to confront ISIS, if they have proper equipment they can set them back from Kubani.  

Concerning the role of Turkey he said: that turkey will permit not any help to be given to Kubani. Despite of written request of the president of Kurdistan region this country has only settled its tanks on borders and it has done nothing special more. Dabbagh said: to give any help from Kurdistan Region to the Kurds of Syria is so difficult for loss of land communication. He added: Turkey is expected as a democrat country, a member of NATO and an Islamic country and in accordance with the human right …take an action toward ISIS.

Dabbagh already said that the airstrike of the coalition affect a little. If accompanied with these attacks Kurds are supported it can be workable. He said he does not expect foreign forces to enter the region.  About the claim saying if Kurds access the advanced weapons may cause another crisis he considered it just as a pretext. In his view these equipment is just used to defend people of Kurd. Kurds want according to the constitution of the country in which the live begin to work.        

Concerning the changes in Kubani, Nazem Dabbagh had an interview with analysis-oriented news weekly of Seda whose important points follow:

In Dabbagh’s views defeating of ISIS in attacking Kurdistan Region and Shingal mount caused it think of Kubani. He knew it probable that attacking Kubani was to strengthen ISIS position to attack Baghdad. He added that all Kurdish Pishmega support to release Kubani has a special role. He acclaimed that to support Kubani many groups entered the battlefield. He also added Kubani was served by some help of which was military and medical from America. In addition one of America’s aids to Kubani was bombing ISIS positions by American fighters which were accompanied with much loss. He also said that I.R. of Iran from early days rushed to help people and offered his humanity and friendly military aids to Kurdistan Region of Iraq. But he claimed he had not been given any news ascertaining Iran’s help to Kubani, although he was not sure about. In a part of his phrases he deemed the phenomena of ISIS and terrorism as axis for endangered countries like Kurdistan region of Iraq, Iraq and Iran to get unified and it leads both sides relations warm.

Dabbagh claimed that international and regional support from Iraqi Kurds than Syrians was somewhat more whereas most countries of the world and region did not already have negative view toward ISIS. If ISIS dominated the Region, regarding the potentials of oil and energy in the Region, it would probably get greatly powerful. Thus Dabbagh believes that the importance of Kubani is not less than Kurdistan Region. He said ISIS thinks that to dominate Kubani is not such difficult.

About America’s announcement according to the priority of oil and refinery resources to Kubani, Nazem Dabbagh said that basically the USA’s policy is his benefits, so they pay more attention to the resources of the region. Furthermore if ISIS dominates oil resources it will be so powerful, thus America’s concern is aimed at oil wells and refineries.

As continuing his talking he criticized Turkey’s policy toward ISIS, however he appreciated Turkeys for changing his positions about the permission according to which Kurdish forces can go through his land. At last Dabbagh mentioned that the presence of ISIS in Iraq has indicated that if we are not allied and do not solve the domestic problems, it will lead nothing but ISIS presence; and he hopped the new government of Iraq with the participation of all political groups in Iraq would be formed.

To analyze the current situations of Kubani and the regional countries’ positions toward this crisis, JARAS went to Nazem Dabbagh the official representative KRG of Iraq in Iran. The main says as followed:

In the response to the first question he answered: the concern of Kubani is sensitive and the governments wanting ISIS to win should consider that if it happens so, it will cause insecurity in their countries. It is already experienced that when the security and intelligence agencies look for to create a crisis the outcome of it does aim themselves, since after the coalition formed the attacks of ISIS have got more. He alerted that the fall of Kubani will follow critical results. Thus the regional countries have to become alert and know that the terrorists just work for their benefit and cannot meet the countries’ needs supporting them.

Concerning the helps from Kurdistan Region of Iraq to Kubanian people, Dabbagh said: there are two concerns about this. One is the geography of Kubani which the only way to reach it is through Turkey borders but Turkey has shut the Kubani entrances, whereas, in letter the president of the KRG of Iraq has asked Turkey to give the permission to help Kubanian people.

Dabbagh considers Turkey policy to close the borders and to prevent P.K.K Kurds from entering Kubani as binary policy. On the one hand Ahmad Davoud Ughlu the prime minister of Turkey said they will not allow Kubani to be occupied by ISIS. On the other hand the president of the country states that Kubani has fallen and ISIS has occupied it. In addition Dabbagh know it illogical and unfair of Erdugan to consider P.K.K and ISIS the same, since Dabbagh belies that they are naturally different.

As continuing Dabbagh said: the airstrike simply cannot cause ISIS to be defeated so land attack is needed. These attacks don’t have to be just superficial and to weaken ISIS but it must be strictly and aim to completely destroy it. At last Dabbagh Said: As I.R.Iran has not failed to help Syrian and Iraqi people, it should also interfere in Kubani concern.

Mizan News Agency: the representative of KRG of Iraq in Iran deemed our country’s helps greatly influential and in time and said: the majority of these helps were logistical and consultative on the behalf of Sepah Pasdaran. Nazem Dabbagh in a talk with political reporter of Mizan relating to the role of the new government of Iraq about fighting ISIS stated: the new government of Iraq regarding the useful and on time moves in recent weeks has expressed its ability to solve the problems and concerns specially fighting ISIS.

He added: undoubtedly the formation of a comprehensive and cooperative government in Iraq is beneficial to all tribal and political groups in Iraq, and this can help all groups getting involved in fighting ISIS. He continued that: the government of authorities of Turkey has not got any definite and specific definition of ISIS, and as of a yet has not taken any stable and useful position about it.

Dabbagh added that the field changes in Kurdish regions of Kubani are getting better and said: in recent days up to 100 villages around Kubani have been swept out of terrorists which represents their weaknesses and withdraw from Kubani.

Nazem Dabbagh emphasized: this is only Iraqis that can construct their fortune and thus to form a coalition to fight terrorists in Iraq without them is nonsense. He considered former government’s mismanagement of Iraq in the field of policy and security as the current situation and added: presently more than one third of Iraq is taken under ISIS’s control representing the depth of the former government inefficiency. At last the representative of Kurdistan region of Iraq in Iran again deemed Iran’s role so decisive and on time and appreciated as mentioning other countries’ helps to Iraq to fight ISIS.

Mizan News Agency: the representative of Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) of Iraq in Tehran deemed Iran’s aid to Iraqi nation and state so effective and on time and said: the majority of this aids were logistical and military consultation held by Sepah. Nazem Dabbagh in the talk with political reporter of Mizan News Agency about the role of new government of Iraq in fight with ISIS stated: new government of Iraq regarding the useful and on time actions in recent weeks has expressed his ability to find a solution for problems and difficulties ahead specially fighting ISIS. Dabbagh added: obviously to form a comprehensive and cooperative is a benefit to political and minor groups of Iraq and this can help all engaged groups in the fight against ISIS.

Concerning Turkey policy for ISIS, Dabbagh said Turkish state and authorities have never offered any definite and clear definition for ISIS and also they has not taken any stable and true position for this. Meanwhile he added: although the recent action of Turkey allowing supportive forces to help Kubani region can be considered effective.

The representative of KRG of Iraq in Iran considered continuing field changes in the Kurdish region of Kubani as developing and said: in recent days up to 100 villages around Kubani are emptied from ISIS terrorists indicating their weakness and withdraw in Kubani. Eventually he deemed a coalition against ISIS nonsense without Iraq government.
