Receives the Kurdistan Region since June, hundreds of thousands of displaced people and exiles fleeing the massacres jihadists of the Islamic state. Today, there are among them tens of thousands of Christians, Yazidis, Shabak and other religious minorities who have lived and are living since the distant eras on the territory of Mesopotamia Supreme, they are being far to the threat of their presence after they had been subjected to acts of violence and genocide committed against them under the authority of the Ottoman state and the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein vessels.

Stream massive displacement, which came after a wave of immigration, which reached 250,000 displaced Syrians, exceeded the capacity of the government of Kurdistan. Do not possess their own capabilities to receive them nor the means to meet the needs of these people, who number more than a million people, especially as they find themselves deprived since the month of January from its budget allocation of Finance granted to them by the central government in Baghdad, and that they have to defend an area of more than a thousand kilometers From the border to the aggressor Islamic state rich in arms and processed bilge.

Kurdistan Region represents a young democracy on the path to progress, respect the common values ​​of freedom, human rights and protection of minorities and defend. The parliament comprises a ratio of 36% of women. And containing the Government of National Unity in the region overall parties represented in parliament, including Christians.

Deserve this democratic experiment in the territory of Islam, not only encouragement but also effective solidarity and intensified by the citizens and governments of the countries of Western democracy.

The Kurds, who are fighting the forces of succession now unilaterally declared the Islamic state, which raises the fanatical ideology and practices Berber our disgust, but they are also fighting to defend our democratic values ​​and the security of all.

Therefore, we call upon the intensification of humanitarian assistance granted by the agencies of the United Nations and the European Union, because of the Kurdistan Region today finds itself unable to meet the requirements of hundreds of thousands of displaced people to the region.

We demand also do embody the delivery of weapons to the Kurdistan Regional Government in order to be able to defend its territory.

And to do all the procedures that allow for the government of the Kurdistan regional standing alone on the first line, to ensure the protection of religious minorities threatened massacres jihadists, especially the protection of international air zones Christian and Yazidi located in the plain of Nineveh and Mosul to facilitate the return of the population at risk.

Finally, we ask that the mandate of the European Union special envoy unable to secure direct mediation and national dialogue interrupted between Baghdad and the Kurds and the Sunni and Shiite communities. And the development of the oil monarchies les pétromonarchies   Which turned a blind eye to finance jihadist organizations directly or indirectly, in front of their responsibilities in order to contribute broadly to finance humanitarian work being done and implemented.
