Recent ISIS attacks in the Kobani and Hasaka, in Syria's ethnically Kurdish region of Rojava, have deeply affected the political and military decisions of the Kurdistan Regional Government.

Peshmera forces say they are ready to go to Rojava to offer military and logistical help to the Kurdish fighters who are battling  ISIS there.

President Masoud Barzani has announced that if the situation requires Peshmerga forces, they will be send to Hasaka and nearby areas to fight the terrorists. 

Although, sending Peshmerga to Rojava would have political ramifications in the region, the Kurdish forces do not need the consent of neighboring countries.

Experts believe the forces can simply enter Rojava from Iraqi Kurdistan.
