[size=45]Barzani said in an interview with reporters: “Our visit to Baghdad was mainly to participate in the Iraqi Martyr’s Day ceremonies, and after that, since yesterday, we held a group of meetings with all Iraqi political parties, and these meetings must be taken as a matter of course, since we live in this geography. It is natural for us to visit Baghdad and discuss the existing problems and try to solve them.” “.[/size]
[size=45]He added, “In these meetings, we discussed two basic topics. The first is the issue of livelihood for the citizens of the Kurdistan Region. We believe that the regional government has fulfilled all its obligations towards Baghdad, and the issue of salaries must be dealt with in the Kurdistan Region like the rest of the Iraqi provinces, and this issue must not turn into a political or paper issue.” Pressure on the Kurdistan Region.”[/size]
[size=45]The President of the Kurdistan Region continued: “The (Iraqi) Prime Minister had a very good understanding of this issue, and I am sure that he will make every effort to solve this problem. As you know, a decision was issued by the Council of Ministers today, and we thank His Excellency the Prime Minister, as this issue was not originally included in the agenda of the meeting, but he confirmed “We would like to add it to the agenda, and we believe that this decision is a good start for resolving the problems.”[/size]
[size=45]And between Barzani; “The other issue is related to the security issue, as we believe that drone attacks on the Kurdistan Region will undermine security in the region and Iraq as well, because they are linked together and should not be separated. This was a basic issue that we talked about with all political parties. It certainly needs more discussions, but we hope to solve it.”[/size]
[size=45]The President of the Region praised “the steadfastness of the salary recipients in the Kurdistan Region, who were steadfast and endured a lot. We hope that this issue will not become a media issue and will not be talked about in the media this year and will be a normal issue like the rest of the provinces of Iraq.”[/size]
