“Iraq and the region are passing through a turbulent time and these events inevitably impact the Kurdistan Region as well. With unity, we have the strength to face whatever challenges that may arise and work together to ensure stability,” Barzani said in a statement.
“In Iraq, as always, we will cooperate and assist our fellow Iraqis. We urge all Iraqi groups to realize their common duties and responsibilities towards the country and to resolve all the difficulties through dialogue and understanding on the basis of the constitution. We also ask the international coalition to remain supportive and to cooperate with the Kurdistan Region and Iraq in confronting terrorism,” he added.
According to NRT he concluded by emphasizing the diversity of the Kurdistan Region and the government's commitment to ensuring freedom for all of its people.
“All the ethnic and religious components that Kurdistan will remain the land of rights and freedoms for all, and it will continue to be the cradle of harmony, stability, co-existence, acceptance, pluralism and solidarity,” he said.
