Mansour Barzani, the second son of Masoud Barzani and commander of the KDP’s Barzan and Gulan special forces, has met with Turkey's Defense Minister in Ankara.
This marks a new development, as it is the first time a Turkish Defense Minister has publicly received a Peshmerga commander, who happens to be another member of the Barzani family.
Notably, the Turkish Defense Ministry described Mansour as 'the commander of Peshmerga special forces,' though in reality he only commands KDP-affiliated units - specifically elite forces recruited from the Barzan region and surrounding villages, whose primary responsibility is safeguarding the Barzani family's interests.
The talks likely centered on PKK-related matters and potential Turkish military assistance, including training and technical support for KDP Peshmerga forces.

Good way of demonizing what the Gulan Division has done for Kurdistan, by completely reducing their sacrifices to just “being barzani’s fidayis” when you know well enough what they did in the sixth, seventh and eight front Language matters, and yours is extremely misleading.
Are you dumb? Mansour BArzani was in the front lines the whole time fighting against Isis. He even got shrapnel in his hand.
