US-led coalition spokesman Colonel Ryan Dillon connected to Rudaw TV news bulletin from Baghdad said that the ceasefire between the Iraqi and Peshmerga forces has been established.

"It is said that the conflict between Peshmerga and the Iraqi forces has stopped," asked the correspondent, Dillon answered as: "True, we are further aware of the issue that happened with our attempt. We are in mediation and dialogue attempts to stop the conflict between the Kurdistan Regional Government and Iraq. We hope that the results will be obtained. We want the ceasefire to be extended so that every side will "refocus" on the war against Daesh."

Dillon said, "This truce was made on what basis? Is Temporary permanent?" In answer to the question, he answered:

"What we know is that there is a ceasefire. We certainly want that to extend, to not be just a ceasefire for a short period of time, but that it extends and there is no more fighting. So we are encouraging is dialogue, and to trying to get the right people through our contacts from both Peshmerga and the Iraqi security forces. So that something could be worked out diplomatically, and through dialogue, as opposed through fighting," Dillon added. (ILKHA)
