Shafaq News/ On Sunday, the Kurdish component in Kirkuk expressed its displeasure over the timing and opening ceremonies of Kirkuk Airport and the accompanying media blackout and popular and political marginalization, which it considered a "new coup" against the Kurds in the disputed province between Erbil and Baghdad.
A member of the administrative body of the Kurdistan Democratic Party in Kirkuk, Luqman Abdul Latif Kaki, told Shafaq News Agency, "The opening of Kirkuk airport on this 16th of October is provocative and rejected as a day of tragedy for the Kurds, and a reminder of the events of marginalizing the Kurdish component from all its entitlements. Administrative, security and political affairs in conflict areas in 2017.
He considered that "the timing of the opening of Kirkuk airport today is a new coup against the Kurds in general and the Kurdistan Democratic Party in particular," criticizing the opening of the airport "by completely marginalizing the political components and societal elites, in addition to preventing the media from covering the event, even though Kirkuk Airport is a giant strategic project that requires celebrations and participation." A wide range of Kirkuk slices and their components.
Kaki noted, "The marginalization of the Kurds and the political and media elites with the opening of Kirkuk airport is a new political targeting, despite what the Kurdistan Democratic Party has provided to protect the political process and address its crisis, most notably ceding the position of the President of the Republic and withdrawing his candidate to solve the crisis, accelerate the formation of the government and end the political blockage."
In turn, a member of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan and former MP Jamal Muhammad Shakur considered the procedures for opening Kirkuk airport "a provocative matter that increases Kirkuk's problems, which require consensus and balance in decisions, as it is a sensitive province with multiple components and spectra."
In his interview with Shafaq News Agency, Shakur said, "The procedures for opening Kirkuk airport by marginalizing and absenting the media, political and popular elites raise more than a question mark, which is the marginalization of all components, not only the Kurds."
He added, "The opening of Kirkuk airport on this day is a provocative message that is not appropriate and an unsuccessful step. It was better for the concerned authorities to choose another time, even though Kirkuk Airport is a vital project that moves Kirkuk to an important urban stage that requires the presence of all components and social segments to celebrate this important occasion."
Earlier today, the Civil Aviation Authority opened Kirkuk International Airport, after it had completed all international standards and requirements, to be ready to receive all types of flights.
This morning, the Iraqi presidential plane landed on the territory of Kirkuk International Airport, and the airport was opened in the presence of the commander of the advanced headquarters for joint operations, Lieutenant-General Ali Al-Fariji, the assistant governor for technical affairs Ali Hammadi, the Kirkuk police chief, Major General Kaveh Gharib, and a number of officials in the Civil Aviation Authority and border crossings. .
The civil airport was inaugurated suddenly and without inviting local and foreign media to cover the opening ceremony.
It is noteworthy that Kirkuk Airport has completed all preparations to start the process of operating internal flights between the Iraqi governorates as a first step, and then it will launch to the horizons of the outside world.
