President Barzani added, "Civilians have the right
to criticize the establishments and institutions of
the Kurdistan Regional Government for the current
shortcomings but they should also remember that
these establishments are there to serve them and it
takes time to completely overcome existing
problems," of the criticism the K.R.G faces, he also
called upon the Kurdish public to protect the
existing achievements of the K.R.G within Kurdistan
region.
The bitter experience of the former civil war
between the P.U.K and K.D.P was also breached by
President Barzani who said that maintaining
tolerance, a healthy dialogue and understanding
amongst all parties in the Kurdistan region were key
factors in helping prevent any reoccurrence of such
experiences, suggesting that the P.U.K and K.D.P
should turn into two civil parties and melt within
one government.
Regarding the unification of the two Kurdish
administrations, president Barzani said that the
ministries of the two administrations that have so
far not been unified will be done so and there
should also be a unified and regular military force
for the Kurdistan region so that no party can use
force against the other.
President Barzani continued, saying the Kurdish
people were entitled to have a state of their own,
but in due time providing the current K.R.G are able
to gain the support of outside and neighboring
countries first, "We have a rich country and the
duty of the government is to bring about prosperity
for each and every Kurdish family." Barzani stated.
Reference to the current security situation in the
other parts of Iraq concluded the President’s
statement at the meeting, saying, " Iraq is taking
steps towards sectarian war and we as the Kurdish
people should have an active role in resolving the
problems…. a inclusive Iraqi government can resolve
all issues and can prevent the re-formation of a
dictatorial state," of his vision of things to come.
