2020-04-11 · Sorani · Kurdipedia / PUK Soran Malband statement

A Sorani commemorative statement describing the Battle of Kore and explicitly placing PUK forces at the Kore pass under the supervision of Kosrat Rasul Ali, with Hassan Koistani named in direct command responsibilities.

The statement recounts the Ba'athist counteroffensive after the 1991 uprising and describes PUK forces concentrating at the Kore pass. It explicitly states that these forces operated under Kosrat Rasul Ali's supervision. The account describes defensive lines and the heavy fighting through 11 April 1991. As a commemorative party source, its battlefield details should be compared with other military histories, but it directly documents how the PUK itself records Kosrat's command role.
