About three important concerns recently affecting KRG, Isna News Agency had talk with Nazem Dabbagh the representative of KRG of Iraq in Iran of which the most outstanding lines as followed:

 The President of KR, Vital file for Kurds fate

About this Dabbagh says: now the matter is not the non- or extinction of Masoud Barezani’s presidency period, but is the compilation and regulation of governing rules over the selection of the head of the Region and his authorities. The concern of head of Region and its extinction is a big problem in the Region; the leaders of the parties are looking for a solution for this problem, since this matter cannot be solved through statute and parliament.

All hope that the last message of the President desiring all leaders to get together to solve the problem before August 20, (the date of Masoud Barezani’s presidency period end) wrap up. About the claim that Kurds have not any personification as qualified as Barzani to substitute him, he turned it down and say: we have enough men for the post of presidency; Mr. Barezani has very high position, whether to be a president or not he will be respected as Mr. Talibani which despite of his illness and having no authority but many interior and foreign authorities are commuting his home.

Barezani’s being or not being is not the matter, but is to define and compile the ruling mechanism of the presidency election and the range of its authorities. Now, the problem is that political system should be either chairmanship or parliamentary, these concerns have to be solved. Democrat party insists that Barezani reinstate in its position. It is true, he is a strong option for being the head of the Region but the statute does not allow this anymore.This also happened in Iran at the time of Hashemi presidency period.After being the president of Iran for two rounds, men were seeking to extend his presidency but the leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei, ordered to obey the statute and it is not possible to change the constitution for one, and all accepted.

Some say that Barzani indeed are looking for to lean back on the Iraq presidency’ chair after his chairmanship of the Region ends and to take this post which now is under his rival party, namely, patriotic union of Kurdistan and instead to give up the post of the Region presidency to them. Nazem Dabbagh said to Isna: if one day Mr. Barzani wants to be the president of Iraq, I don’t think none of the Kurdish parties is opponent, but this has not been put yet. In my opinion this is not possible for me to say no if I am asked to agree with Mr. Barezani’s presidency on Iraq.

The actions of Iraq Prime Minister, Coup or Reformations

About the actions of Haydar Al-Ebadi in the field of confronting corruption Dabbagh said: Ebadi has taken important steps, but how to perform them is the matter. This action should be appreciated, but here is the problem that the change in Iraq will not happen unilaterally and without agreement among all groups. The question is his action will wrap up to a useful reformation for Iraq or this action is a political competitive and or party action.

I feel that to perform this plan Al-Ebadi will face many problems. He added: When Al-Ebadi remove a minister or ministry he has to regard the portions of the elections based on the number of representative of political groups in the parliament, on the other hand, he has to give position to that groups somewhere else. This is why that we say the project of reformation should be accompanied with cooperation of all groups. If it occurs individually and if all groups cannot reach an agreement it will follow result worse than a coup in this current political condition of Iraq.

The Turkey’s Attack to P.K.K and the Region’s Role to Calm the Situations

Nazem Dabbagh says overt and closed attempts on the behalf the authorities of the region are ongoing until the new wave of violations between Ankara and P.K.K subsides. He added: as of a yet Turkey has attacked P.K.K more than 25 rounds. The Region authorities’ attempts to solve the problems between Turkey and Kurds refers to Turgut Ouzal, the eighth president of Turkey (1993-1989), which started through good offices of Jalal Talibani and Maoud Barzani; it led to good accomplishments those days.

These attempts were more regarded at the time of Erdogan. All went well, but the lack of honest intention of both sides caused all process to be destroyed by a small pretext. The Suruc’s explosion occurred, and then P.K.K undertook the death of two Turkish soldiers. All were destroyed as a result of these two events. He added: Ankara should not bombed 150 villages of the Region and P.K.K bases on the pretext of this matter. In spite of these damages, the Region asked both sides to come to discuss. We believe that the best way is negotiation and Turkey and Kurds should come to do it. The KRG is not disable, and are trying to get both sides back to discuss and the negotiations should get again started or else a great mistake will happen.

Nazem Dabbagh the representative of KRG of Iraq in Iran in talk with foreign policy journalist of Iran Students News Agency mentioning the selection of Haiydar Al-Abadi as the new PM of Iraq stated: the selection of Mr. Al-Abadi was a an important and positive step which was taken to form the new government of Iraq.

He said: different political and tribal groups including Sunni, Shia and Kurds all have thought and thing that today conditions of Iraq result from mismanagement of Mr. Maleki, so Iraq needed to change the prime minister.

The representative of KRG in Tehran concerning the role of Abadi to change the atmosphere of Iraq in the future said: in my opinion Iraq need more than to change a Prime Minister if it is due to that those same thoughts and respects are followed nothing will change in Iraq. Among different groups of Iraq there are agreements made belonging eight years ago. However some of them have not been carried out; whereas if these agreements are followed being neglected in this new round the condition will go with difficulties. Dabbagh added: we make request of government to form a comprehensive and collaborative in which all groups can present and all have to be obedient to the constitution of Iraq and past events will be better not to be repeated.

This active politician by mentioning the critiques and oppositions of Nuri Maleki against Abadi’s selection stated: Mr. Maleki is an individualist person and unfortunately and expressed that he is so interested in his position. He believes that his fraction has more ballots but the Judiciary of Iraq disagrees. I believe we have to follow the law.

The representative of KRG of Iraq in Iran concerning Arabian attitudes toward the change of Maleki and the selection of Abadi said: the majority of Arabian countries disagree with new Iraq. They do not want Shia to be dominant in Iraq and Kurds to be the president. We have to wait and see how they want to accompany with Iraq. If the political conditions of new Iraq is accepted by them and return to the normal and mutual relations with Iraq, both sides definitely benefits. Concerning how to react against ISIS and the role of the new government to do so Dabbagh said: to react against ISIS we need a new, comprehensive and collaborative in a way that no one says Shia stand against Sunni. With comprehensive and collaborative including Sunni, Shia, Kurds and other groups and tribes an organized government withstands ISIS.

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.

Nazem Dabbagh, the representative of Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) of Iraq in Iran, said: while Iraqi groups got unified to destroy Saddam, so they do to oust Islamic State of Iraq and Sham (SIS) from Iraq.

Nazem Dabbagh, the representative of KRG in talk with foreign policy reporter of Iranian Students News Agency (ISNA) added: unluckily ISIS forces are about to consolidate themselves in Iraq in Sunni places in special.

Mentioning Kurdistan region conditions he declared: Pishmerga forces keep both the region located in Kurdistan and those out of the article 140 of constitute under their control as whole. A number of ISIS forces have been killed and some were arrested by Pishmerga forces.

Concerning the unity among Iraqi people stating that it acts as antitoxin against ISIS, Dabbagh added: the current condition of Iraq results from lack of unity of political leaders. The loss of the unity among political leaders and groups of the country on security and forces and army has a negative effect, in addition, it has made unsatisfactory between people and the government. 

While some of the residents from Sunni regions do not favor ISIS, but for reacting to Maliki government they have cooperated with them and it is an undeniable case.

The representative of KRG of Iraq in Tehran added: if the army resisted in the occupied regions, they would not fallen down too soon. A large number of army and security forces submitted their weapons to ISIS Troops by themselves. Meanwhile considerable heavy weapons have been sent to Syria from these regions.

He specified: establishing unity among political groups and identity validation for the nation of the country in a way they feel Iraqi, but Sunni, Shia and Kurd, is the most important present concern.

Regarding the role of strange interferes in Iraq condition he stated: all extra-regional and regional powers’ interests are affected by the resent changes of Iraq. To strengthen ISIS relies on strange factors and it is absolutely inevitable.

Nazem Dabbagh specified: as Iraqi groups became unified to destroy Saddam, they have to join forces. In such conditions political groups have got to give up their political personal and band interests to national ones of Iraq so that a real federal government and cooperative manners establish.
