[SHAFAQ] The head of the Summit (Lutka) Foundation for Refugee and Displaced Affairs, Ari Jalal, announced today that the foundation, in coordination with the office of Qubad Talabani, Vice President of the Kurdistan Regional Government, will return 55 Iraqi Kurdish immigrants colonists to the region after the Ottoman Turkish authorities handed them over to the Jabhat al-Nusra
...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli al-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ...
 in Syria.

"Preparations have been made with the Ministry of Migration and Displacement and the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the foundation is now waiting for the completion of legal procedures with the Ottoman Turkish government to return all migrants colonists," Jalal said, noting that the refugees' health condition is good, and that they are now safe in a camp.

The organization had revealed, last August, that the Ottoman Turkish authorities had handed over dozens of Kurdish immigrants colonists from the Kurdistan Region to Jabhat al-Nusra in northern Syria.

A statement by the organization at the time said, "The Ottoman Turkish authorities have handed over about sixty Kurdish immigrants colonists from Southern Kurdistan (Iraqi Kurdistan) to Jabhat al-Nusra Lions of Islam in northern Syria.
