Sinjar must be completely cleansed of the PKK terrorist organization.

Axar.az reports that the statement came from US Deputy Secretary of State for the Middle East Joy Hood.

"We can work together with the support of the Iraqi Kurdish Regional Government, the Iraqi government, Turkey, the United States and other coalition countries. Places like Sinjar can be cleared of other armed groups, including the PKK. It is possible to create a system of governance that will work for the welfare of the people and is accepted by the people. All parties have been consulted on this issue at the management level. I don't think there is a better place to start the process than Sinjar."
