The representative of Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) of Iraq in Tehran denied Iraqi Kurds demand to be independent of Iraq and said: in order to destroy Kurds some raise such concerns. Nazam Dabbagh in talk with foreign political reporter of Iran Students News Agency (ISNA) in a response to question concerning why Israel Regime support Kurdistan dependent of Iraq, stating that they have never claimed independence of Iraq said: we believe the conditions have now occurred in Iraq is the policy result from the legal government.
These new circumstances in Iraq have given the region to Islamic State of Iraq and Sham (ISIS) generating dangers for Kurdistan region. When we faced with weak and fragile reaction of Iraq army confronting ISIS we could not allow ISIS to overwhelm different parts of Kurdistan; thus Pishmerga rushed to recapture the occupied regions and did and we have supported them and will.
He said: presently the occupied regions under quarrel are gained the control by Pishmerga. We have always believed these regions Kirkuk in special belongs to Kurds or else there would be any evident or documents to disclaim this issue then it would be a new claim. In these regions Turks, Sunnis and Shias live and that is why this suggestion have been made that referendum or voting should have taken part so that people themselves could have given their opinions. If one is not afraid of the political process this referendum can put an end to this concern.
Dabbagh specified: the presence of Pishmerga in the regions under quarrel to react ISIS forces has no conflict with the nature and job of the army, they present there to establish security of the region. The representative of KRG concerning being federal of Iraq said: I am sorry that some say the conditions are not appropriate for Iraq to be federal. Nowadays that ISIS is a danger for Iraq all different groups should put their differences aside since without dissolving the differences the danger of ISIS will continue. Firstly Kurds, Shias and Sunnis should be unified, secondly the difference generating the problems should be dissolved otherwise even if even to fire ISIS another ISIS will be formed very soon.
We observe that this terrorist cell has got so impudent that it has given itself the epithet of Islamic caliphate, and we have to offer our congratulation to Sunni for this. Stating that we criticize the way of managing the country during past years he said in addition to this unfortunately in Baghdad a person makes decision and this is for Mr. Maliki and his way of managing country.
In a response to a question concerning current condition the priority is to hold a referendum in the quarreled regions and the concern of being federal or from a parliament and to pursue these cases through law he said: we believe that these concerns should be advanced step by step. Referendum or to carry out a part of article 140 of the Constitutes has no any conflict with the formation of Parliament and state of the president and the prime minister. The representative of KRG in Tehran added: new Kurdish members of Iraq Parliament have gone to Baghdad to participate in and present in first session of the Parliament, thus if one claimed the independence of Iraq he would not go to take part. Dabbagh stated: we desire a cooperative government and being real of those who have not been success in managing the country. About the prime ministry of Iraq not only Kurds but the majority of Iraq Shia and Sunni also have the same opinion concerning the entrance of new candidate.
The representative of KRG about Israel support from Kurdistan independence of Iraq, stating every country are seeking for the security and welfare as well as Iraq unity, and the rights of tribes are greeted specified: sure for Kurdistan the most benefit are supplied through the relations among neighbors.
Dabbagh said: if we can have full independence, why not, we do welcome it, but in current situation Kurdistan leadership accepted the reality in Iraq that have to be on the basis of new structure of Iraq and the constitution. We support the execution of article 140 and federal or federal unity.
About different political, tribal and religious groups’ support from Iraq Army to protect and to preserve the country he said: according to past experience that the Army was too hard on Kurds we do not accept them especially when they collaborated with ISIS after their attack, they showed they are not trustable. So we have to see that what Army is going to be formed and it should be supported.
