Erbil,
Kurdistan-Iraq, September 5, -- Iraqi Kurds are
preparing to declare their national anthem following
the decree of Massoud Barzani, president of the
Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in Kurdistan
(northern Iraq), which banned the Iraqi flag in the
Kurdish region.
The Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), a member of
the KRG, released a statement on its official
website informing another important issue, aside
from the flag decree, was the preparation of a
national anthem for the Kurdish region.
The statement was penned by former PUK Politburo
member Karwan Enwer and reads: “The national anthem
issue has not been attached adequate significance
since the 1991 Kurdish revolt against the Saddam
regime.
Television channels have broadcasted thousands of
love music videos. However, we have failed to write
a national anthem acceptable to our citizens.”
Kurdistan President Massoud Barzani had issued a
notice on Friday banning the current Iraqi flag from
all official buildings in the Kurdistan region in
northern Iraq.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki ordered the
Iraqi flag to be hoisted on every inch of the Iraqi
soil.
