EU Mission in Iraq and EU Embassies Condemn Attack on Nechirvan Barzani’s Residence

ARK News.. The European Union Mission in Iraq, along with embassies of EU member states, issued a joint statement condemning the attack on the residence of Nechirvan Barzani in Duhok.

Barzani received a message from Clemens Simmer on Saturday evening, highlighting that such “irresponsible violence” carries the risk of escalating the sensitive situation in Iraq, particularly in the Kurdistan Region, and stressing the need to hold the perpetrators accountable.

The EU mission and member state embassies expressed relief that no casualties resulted from the attack and reaffirmed that any assault targeting state institutions, officials representing Iraq and the Kurdistan Region, or diplomatic missions constitutes a criminal act that cannot be justified.

The statement concluded by urging all parties to support efforts for peaceful solutions within Iraq and to back diplomatic initiatives aimed at ending conflicts in the region.

Barzani thanked the EU Ambassador and member states for their condemnation and for supporting security and stability in the region.
