Czechs supplying Peshmerga with weapons and ammunition

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – The Czech Republic is sending thousands more assault rifles and millions of rounds of ammunition to the Kurdistan’s Peshmerga forces, Czech media reports said.

They quoted Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka saying at a meeting with top Czech officials on Monday that his country will be sending more military aid to the Iraqi army and Kurdish Peshmerga forces to battle the Islamic State (ISIS) group.

Sobotka said “six and a half thousand assault rifles and more than seven million rounds of ammunition to support the Iraqi army and the Kurds in their struggle” against ISIS will be supplied through the United States.

“This is about our support for the Iraqi army and the Kurds in the fight against so-called Islamic state,” Sobotka explained.

Jordan will also receive more military support from the Czech Republic, the prime minister said.
