A statement from the President of the Kurdistan Region about the political developments in Iraq

We are deeply concerned about the political developments in Iraq. We call on the political parties to show utmost restraint and start direct talks to resolve the existing disputes. In this critical period, further exacerbation of the situation will endanger the social harmony, security and stability of the country.

While we respect people’s right to demonstrate peacefully, we call for the protection of state institutions, and the security of citizens, government employees and their properties. The Iraqi people deserve much better living conditions, and it is the collective duty of all parties together to lead Iraq out of this critical and dangerous situation.

The Kurdistan Region will, as ever, remain a part of the solution, and therefore we invite the Iraqi political parties to visit Erbil, their second capital, and to start an open and inclusive dialogue to reach an understanding and agreement on the basis of the country’s highest interests. There are no problems that cannot be resolved through dialogue.

Nechirvan Barzani
President of the Kurdistan Region
