[size=45]The Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Regional Government, Masrour Barzani, stressed, on Saturday, that the Kurdish issue has become a global issue today, and that its solution will be a solution to the problems of the Middle East.[/size]
[size=45]The Prime Minister’s speech came during his participation in the conference of the Kurdish issue in the Middle East, which was held in the capital, Erbil, with the participation of officials, academics, university professors, and Kurdish, Iraqi and international political figures, and was organized by Soran University and the French Center for Iraq Research.[/size]
[size=45]The prime minister said that a single conference cannot address the Kurdish issue, and it needs to perpetuate such conferences while diagnosing problems and developing solutions at the same time.[/size]
[size=45]Pointing out that the Kurds were subjected to treachery as a nation, and Kurdistan faced injustice as a homeland, and this has been going on for a century, and instead of finding a solution to their issue, there are those who are looking for arguments and pretexts to prevent this.[/size]
[size=45]He continued: "The Kurdish issue in the Middle East has become a global issue, and we need to diagnose the mistakes that were made during that period to find appropriate solutions for them."[/size]
[size=45]He added that the Kurds faced many problems, to the extent that there are those who do not want the Kurds to even talk about their cause, and accuse them of various accusations when presenting any proposal for a solution.[/size]
[size=45]The prime minister said: "As a nation, we have the right to put forward proposals that would bring stability to the region, and we have the right to talk about our cause in international forums to make our voice heard."[/size]
[size=45]Masrour Barzani called for an end to misinterpretations towards the Kurds, and added: "We are a constructive worker, and we respect all nationalities, and we are adhering to these principles, and we will continue to do so."[/size]
[size=45]He stressed that the Kurdish issue, cannot be explained at all, as a problem with the components, and this was what the immortal leader Mustafa Barzani stressed, and is now confirmed by President Massoud Barzani.[/size]
[size=45]The Prime Minister indicated that the problems of the Kurds are not with nationalities, but with some authorities and governments that want to eradicate the identity of the Kurdish people.[/size]
[size=45]He said, "We did not leave any room for this problem to be defined as between the Kurds and nationalities, for when people of any nationality or religion need the help of the people of Kurdistan, they will embrace them with open arms... This is not a virtue, but rather stems from our culture and principles."[/size]
[size=45]He added that what is proud is the embrace of about two million displaced people and refugees from Iraq, Syria and other regions who have taken refuge in the Kurdistan Region, which opened its doors and became a safe haven for all those who went to it for safety and stability, stressing that the solution to the Kurdish issue must be a solution for the entire Middle East.[/size]
[size=45]The prime minister spoke about a number of reasons for Iraq's instability, stressing that this lies in the failure to solve the Kurdish issue in it. He asked, "Why has Iraq not been stable since its founding? .. The answer lies in the failure to find a solution to the Kurdish issue."[/size]
[size=45]He pointed out that Iraq did not witness growth and development, and its people did not live with its various components on an equal footing and justice, and in the era of dictatorship, the prevailing thinking was how to uproot the people of Kurdistan, while most of what the Kurdish people thought was how to preserve their existence.[/size]
[size=45]The Prime Minister warned against any fighting, indicating that it would not only negatively affect the Kurds but also Iraq as a whole, citing the attacks that targeted the people of Kurdistan in the sixties and seventies of the last century, then the March Agreement, and how the Iraqi government ceded to the Shah of Iran, followed by the Algiers Agreement, followed by eight Years of devastating war with Iran, which exhausted the Iraqi economy, and then the invasion of Kuwait.[/size]
[size=45]He said: "What is left in Iraq other than ruin? ... If we think carefully about solving the Kurdish issue, will it be resolved in Iraq from what it is now, as one of the most important causes of instability is the failure to solve the problem of the people of Kurdistan."[/size]
[size=45]He went on to say: "We are talking about human rights, which is enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations. Is everyone committed to this? We talk about segments, classes, classes, gender and individuals, but where are the rights of nationalism? Were the rights of the Kurds respected in their national capacity?”[/size]
[size=45]The Prime Minister touched on the principles that characterize the people of Kurdistan and are represented in respect for human rights, segments, groups, classes, various religions and peaceful coexistence, pointing out that this has become a prominent feature of the Kurdistan Region.[/size]
[size=45]He said that if the people of Kurdistan were given a chance, like the rest of the world, they would achieve resounding success, as they achieved when they put an end to the ISIS caliphate and repelled the terrorist attack, after the Peshmerga forces launched the battle against them and cut off the road to them at a time when 12 divisions of the Iraqi army and police collapsed.[/size]
[size=45]And he indicated that the Kurds were certainly not alone in those battles. The Kurds had potential and capabilities, as did the rest of the other components, and many of them emerged when opportunities were given to them abroad, but why do they not have opportunities here? Are our people given a fair chance? Unfortunately, no. He stressed that the Kurdish issue is not resolved by the Kurds alone, and said: “We live on this land with different nationalities and religions.”[/size]
[size=45]The Prime Minister stressed that Iraq is rich in natural and human resources, but this did not bring prosperity to the Iraqis, and this is simply due to mismanagement, violation of human rights and lack of respect for the constitution.[/size]
[size=45]The prime minister spoke about Iraq’s revenues, which amount to hundreds of billions of dollars, at a time when Baghdad sent only five percent to Kurdistan, and added: “But we do not see development in the Sunni and Shiite regions, east, west and south, and therefore there must be something wrong, Despite the natural resources and human resources, there is a problem with governance.”[/size]
[size=45]He explained that terrorism appeared in Iraq and violence is still continuing as a result of the lack of justice and equality, the spread of corruption and the absence of services, which has reached the people's flood, and the terrorists have found it easy to exploit them as a result of their anger and resentment of the authority, and Iraq cannot be stable if there is no equality and justice and its economy does not recover.[/size]
[size=45]The Prime Minister considered solving the Kurdish issue a solution to Iraq's problems, noting that the original components no longer trust the other, and said: "Let's leave political courtesies aside, when finding an appropriate solution to any issue we must be honest in diagnosing errors and problems, and the main dilemma in this country is represented in: Lack of confidence, fear of the past and fear of its repetition in the future.[/size]
[size=45]And he indicated that although the regime changed in Iraq after 2003, this did not reflect positively on the citizens, and stressed the need for frankness, honesty and sitting at one table, Sunnis, Shiites, Kurds, Assyrians, Armenians, Turkmens and all components and religions, and explained: "We have many commonalities." .[/size]
[size=45]The prime minister said: “We should not focus on the differences, but rather on the commonalities that unite us, and if we establish a system in which we respect each other, accept the other and think about helping others, then we can say that there is optimism and a suitable ground for living.”[/size]
[size=45]He pointed out that any system should be a guarantor so that no one can manipulate it based on its mood, indicating that the majority of Kurdistans voted in favor of the federal system, but many of its points were violated and never implemented, and he also stressed the need to adhere to true partnership, justice and balance, and not to consider Suspicion and suspicion to others. He said that the prosperity of Kurdistan is the recovery of the whole of Iraq.[/size]
[size=45]The prime minister called for the establishment of a system in Iraq that does not make Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds look suspicious of the other, which will make the country progress, as is the case for the European Union, which was formed as a small one between France and Germany, and then developed into a system of all of Europe.[/size]
[size=45]He said: "This is achieved through our own will and not through coercion and intimidation among the components, provided that there is an international guarantor for this."[/size]
[size=45]At the conclusion of his speech, the Prime Minister expressed his hope that the components will coexist with each other with pure hearts to move forward and solve the problems of the Kurdistan Region to be an example for resolving the Kurdish issue in the Middle East in general.[/size]
[size=45]The Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Regional Government, in response to a question to one of the participants in the conference, said that "there is no paragraph that stipulates that the position of prime minister for the Shiites, the president of the republic for the Kurds, or the speaker of parliament for the Sunnis, but it has become a tradition to be followed until now." Component of its candidate before Parliament votes on it. He added, "This tradition was broken in the last session, unfortunately," when a Kurdish majority did not choose the president of the republic, but rather a Shiite majority.[/size]
[size=45]The Prime Minister stressed the need to respect the election results, noting that the side that won the largest number of seats in the Kurdistan Region has the right to nominate the President of the Republic, adding that they suggested that the majority of the people of Kurdistan choose the candidate, in order to return to the old tradition, indicating that the Kurdistan Parliament is A place that represents all citizens.[/size]
