The representative of Kurdistan Region in the talk with Mehr news Agency began to describe the message of the travel of the chairman of the Parliament of Iran and analyzed the details of the Baghdad-Erbil agreement and the last position of Kubani.
In a response to a question Nazem Dabbagh said that Larijani’s travel at this time included that I.R. of Iran always had an active presence in any conditions especially when danger threats the people of the Region. This travel insisted this point that Iraq is a country composed of Arabs and Kurds and this does not matter to Iran, thus Larijani traveled both to Baghdad and Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
About the relations of KRG of Iraq with Turkey following the recent changes Dabbagh said: the geographical fact of Kurdistan region of Iraq requires that Erbil have relations with all the neighboring countries. One of those countries is Turkey whose relations have to be according to the preserve of bilateral interests and to constitute of the policy of KRG and Central Government of Baghdad. Inasmuch as there is a policy which is against the interests of the whole Iraq and KRG it will be failed.
The representative of KRG of Iraq in a response to another question concerning the recent Baghdad-Erbil agreement said this agreement is being considered positive and it was the primary and we hope it will be performed in the future. According to this agreement the KRG of Iraq export 300 thousands oil barrel from Kirkuk and 250 thousands from other parts of the Region every day. Instead 17% of the following year of Iraq is assigned to Kurdistan. In addition Iraq government has devoted $1 billion dollars for Pishmerga forces. This is the first time that the expenditure of Pishmerga forces is formally undertaken by Iraq government.
Furthermore about the position of Kubani he said before we were afraid of Kubani to fall but now the security position of the town is getting better day by day and recently the municipal of Kubani has got released from ISIS’s occupation. Now, 85% of Kubani is under the control of Pishmerga. Concerning the position of Shingal in Iraq I should say that in this region we witness the daily fighting between Pishmerga forces and ISIS. Resistance is continuing and we are hoping this region get purified from terrorists of ISIS fully.
Concerning the relations between Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and Iran, Shargh Press had an interview with Nazem Dabbagh the representative of KRG of Iraq in Iran whose outlines follow:
About Mr. Larijani’s travel to the Region he said: Iran has proved that in tough situations it has been supporter and enthusiast of Iraq and the Region’s people and will still be. Mr. Larijani also in this travel insisted in strengthening the relations between Iran and the Region. That was why he came to Baghdad and then Soleimaniya and Erbil to express the development of relationship and alliance. He added after Saeidlu’s travel the former vice-president, Mr. Larijani’s travel to Erbil was the second important of an Iranian authority. Mr. Larijani is the senior authority of Iran visiting the Parliament of Kurdistan Region. All express the resistance, cooperation and support of Iran beside Kurdistan Region and Iraq as well as their high importance for Iran.
About Iran’s aids to the Region to confront ISIS he said that Iran has always delivered its contributions to the Region in a proper conditions. He also said: if we need any helps in the field of logistic and consultative they give us and as of a yet they have.
About the positions of the Region authorities about the separation of Iraq he said; the authorities have not announce yet that the region is to separate, instead we are obedient to the constitutton of Iraq. However the emergence of ISIS has caused Iraq automatically get separated, namely; the geographical region of ISIS is located between Iraq and Kurdistan Region. That was why ISIS itself got generated as a result of Iraq mismanagement. We said if you desire a unified Iraq you have to follow the constitution of Iraq. We always say this that if we want to dissolve the concerns we need to be obedient to the constitution. However when the central do not accept this what can we do?
Indeed Dabbagh specified that the root of how ISIS to emerge should be sought in the central government and the wrong policy of Maliki in political management.
