October Betrayal

October Betrayal (Sorani Kurdish: خیانەتی شازدەی ئۆکتۆبەر, romanized: Xiyaneta Şazdey Oktober)[1][2] Is the view that the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, under Bafel Talabani and Lahur Jangi sold the control of Kirkuk and the Disputed Areas for a sum of money instead of defending it,[3][4] while some other outlets claim that they just retreated, which is unlikely.[5]
