Kurds: We are Ready for Both War and Peace!
No one knew yet that the incidents which started with ISIS’s attacks to the Yazidis’ holy city Sinjar on August 3 would be the beginning of lots of things in Turkey and would upset the balance in the Middle East.
As a result of ISIS’s attacks, Yazidis[1] escaped to the Sinjar Mountains and began a long journey harrowed by famine and drought. Tens of thousands of Yazidis were killed, thousands of Yazidi women were raped and thousands of them were sold as slaves in Arab bazaars. The Federation of Yazidis indicate that 5000 Yazidi women are still lost. The People’s Protection Units (YPG),[2] which came to Sinjar to rescue Yazidis who were stuck in the mountain from the massacre, attempted to rescue them through a human corridor they have built on the one hand, while fighting against ISIS on the other hand.
