Dr. Muhammad Seddigh Ahmad in a response to question concerning the roots of the emergence of ISIS believes the roots of it should be sought in its roots.

The root of the emergence of ISIS is the central government of Iraq fault of neglecting democracy strategies and of not considering ballots and thoughts of groups. By this way of the government not only the former problems were not solved, but also caused lots of new problems of which the most important one was ISIS. Dr.Ahmad also believes that after 80 or 90 years established of Iraq government it was tried to form a democratic structure, but despite of the declaration of the Constitutes and the potentials of current governors of Iraq there is not so difference as compared to the formers.

The deputy-representative of KRG in Iran said that the most important reason of not resisting ISIS was public discontent among Sunnite, thus it caused them not to confront ISIS. Even some tribes not only resisted but they also supported ISIS. In addition to frightening actions of ISIS, Iraq authorities uncaring concerning the danger of ISIS infiltration in Iraq army and the possibility of some military elements’ betrayal can be deemed as one the reasons for ISIS to get stronger.

Dr. Ahmad considered the occupation of some Kurdish regions abandoned by the Iraq army against ISIS as the protection of those regions. Indeed these regions are Kurdish and under the KRG and the government dispute. But as the army escaped the regions got endangered by ISIS so Pishmerga forces presented in there to halt ISIS from occupying. Besides he knew ISIS limited infiltration in the Kurdish region for their being equipped with heavy weapons as Pishmergas having just light ones and for possible mismanagements.

Dr. Ahmad also mentioned the civilization ties between Iran and Kurds and said Iran’s help was on time and got appreciated by the president of the region. Nevertheless he believes that Turkey’s position to ISIS will not cause to be put aside from the KRG’s foreign policy, but the KRG wants to keep balance on its foreign policy. Furthermore in a part of his phrases he mentioned America’s attack against ISIS and said these attacks were workable to ISIS to withdraw.

Dr. Ahmad in response to the questions considered Jalal Talibani as a fighter leader and qualified president of Kurd, Masoud Barzani as the symbol of freedom, peace and democracy of Kurdistan nation, Ayatollah Sistani as the respected and impressive personification of the Islamic world, Ammar Hakim as the reminder of moderate leadership of Shia, Fuad Masum As the revolutionary and experienced politician and Ghasem Soleimani as a very powerful and impressive personification in foreign policy of Iran. At last Dr. Ahmad expressed hope concerning ISIS to be defeated and peace to return the country.

Concerning the phenomena of ISIS as a nowadays problem of the Middle East Dana Press carried out an interview with Nazem Dabbagh of which the main says as followed:

In Mr. Dabbagh’s view the phenomena of Takfiris have been created as a result of some events and accidents. Firstly it was due to religious differences and the west and east confrontation after the World War II. Western countries generated Takfiri groups to resist against the Soviet Union. In his view ISIS is the result of Taliban fall in Afghanistan, of Arabian spring soon changed to fall as well as of the survivors of Ba’ath party. In Iraq the mismanagement of Nuri Al-Maliki also played an important role for ISIS to emerge. To put aside the Sunnite from power and the political differences with Kurds laid the groundwork for those to tend toward ISIS so that the one hundred-thousand army of Iraq could not prevented them to enter Mosul and Takrit. The increasing power of ISIS caused Iran and Europe cooperation with Kurdistan Region of Iraq against ISIS.

ISIS is outcome of Takfiris, Ba’ath and Ekhvanis. Ekhvanis have a post in Iraq and are supported by neighboring countries like Turkey and Qatar. He added that the members of ISIS have come from different countries to Syria and Iraq. Since they have not any attachment and relations they begin to act criminally. Ba’aths also want to take revenge from Kurds and Shia, nevertheless they accompany ISIS. Thus he believes that ISIS is near to fall. Therefore he does not know useful to form the temporary coalitions, but confronting with ISIS should be permanent. Dabbagh believes that the countries like Saudi Arabia and Israel tend Iraq to be weakened. Nevertheless to improve the conditions the political thoughts in Baghdad must change. Indeed as Haydar Al-Ebadi coming to power than Nuri Maliki the conditions of Iraq will not change. In Dabbagh’s view Nuri Al-Maliki mistake was his unification with Ba’ath. Therefore the same Ba’aths accompanied with the Army for which $27 billion was spent could not resist against ISIS. It is nine months that Maliki has cut Kurdistan budget while Pishmerga forces are resisting bravely against ISIS. However, Dabbagh is not so optimistic to thought changing in Iraq. In addition concerning Mr. Barzani’s phrases about holding referendum to get independent from Iraq, he said this is Kurdish nation’s desire. Therefore Mr. Taliban wanted to correctly perform the Constitutes of Iraq than the independence. If not so, Kurds have the right to state their fortune. Dabbagh said this time is the Arabians’ turn to try for unification. Dabbagh also added that in spite of Israel tendency to have a relationship with Kurds we have no relation with them, though. At last Dabbagh said the conditions of confrontation with ISIS will change to the benefit to Pishmerga.

Nazem Dabbagh the representative of KRG of Iraq in Iran mentioning the conditions of Iraq said of ISIS to stay in this country. According to the report of Dana News Agency Strategic Group (Dana News) the representative of Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq in the response to question that why as new government if Iraq has been formed, no special move has not been made to react ISIS said: the concern of ISIS is not just for today, but it has a root in the past. The appearance of ISIS is a result and till the causes occur ISIS will remain. It is not just Shia or Kurds to be able to fight against ISIS. Now in Iraq, in practice, there has been tribal struggling. This group will be vanished only if the Sunnites of Iraq has a serious participation in it.

About Haydar Al-Ebadi’s government he said: something important that has happened is the outstanding presence of Sunni beside Shia and Kurds in his government and the condition of Sunni has got better. But notice that this participation is the first step and the presence of them in the Army is the next. About the future of ISIS he said: in my opinion ISIS will not be vanished soon as it may get smaller.
