[edit]

Some sources[1][2][3] mention that PAK is an offshoot of PKK. I understand that this organization was named Revolutionaries' Union of Kurdistan before 2006, and though I found no sign of another PAK in the 1990s, I am going to remove this from the article since two of the sources date back to the 1990s, when this group was not known as PAK.

HAK-R

[edit]

The article said PAK has armed Peshmerga units, named Kurdistan Freedom Eagles for East Kurdistan (HAK-R). They are also sometimes referred to as "Kurdistan Freedom Falcons" (not to be confused with the Kurdistan Freedom Hawks in Turkey). These names are really confusing. This source states that HAK-R is armed wing of another group, named Kurdish Freedom Party in Syria (Azadi Party), which was founded in 2005 as an offshoot of the Kurdish Left Party and was merged into KDP-S in 2014. I removed that part from the article. Pahlevun (talk) 03:28, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
