A message from President Barzani to public opinion

In the name of God, the most gracious, the most merciful

It is very unfortunate that the irresponsible and unconstitutional attempts that have taken place in the Iraqi parliament in the past few days aim to deepen the problems and violate the legitimate rights of the Kurdish people.

Everyone is aware that there are dialogues that led to constructive agreements between the constituent parties of the State Administration coalition to remove obstacles and solve problems.

The Iraqi federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government have reached a good and positive agreement to solve the dilemmas, in order to consolidate the pillars of stability in the country and serve the people, but what some political parties have done, unfortunately, is ingratitude, denial and irresponsible manner with the aim of undermining the entity of the Kurdistan Region.

However, their attempts failed and were neglected.

What happened in the past few days in the Iraqi parliament has removed the mask and revealed the true face of the chauvinistic parties and their bargains, and those who do not respect their pledges and signatures do not respect the constitution.

Now that the draft budget law has been approved in the Iraqi parliament, I hope that its provisions will be implemented in good faith.

We affirm that the Kurdistan Region is the property of the Kurdish people, and the product of the blood, sacrifices, and struggle of the Kurdish people. We strongly oppose any reckless attempt to bypass and undermine the Kurdistan Region.

For us, the Kurdistan Region is not only a red line but also a line of death. Either Kurdistan or annihilation.
