"There are not only peshmarga forces under command of the ministry, but also lots of other so-called peshmarga forces under the control of political parties," Othman said.

Qaraman Kamal, drills director at the ministry, pointed out that peshmarga still lack could training and instructions.

"We don't have good facilities, we lack instructors and we don't have the space to conduct proper exercises and maneuvers," Kamal said.
