How We Work:
Behind the AKC
To protect our national interests in the Middle East, we need strong, reliable, and proven allies on the ground fighting terrorism and anti-American forces – we need the Kurds. They have been our staunch partners for decades, and are battle-tested allies.
Kurdish forces have fought and defeated ISIS terrorism, and stood squarely by our side in both Gulf wars. Brave defenders of freedom, the Kurds provide a hedge against authoritarian, anti-American aggression throughout the region. The Kurds have proven time and again that they are a strong force for stability.
