Falah Mustafa Bakir, Head of KRG Foreign Relations
Office expressed and showed the KRG fully support
and cooperation for the efforts that strengthens
relations between KRG and the Greece government.
"We call on EU to have its role for supporting the
political process and the reconstructions of
Kurdistan region within the Iraqi federal
government," Bakir said..
The authorities in Kurdistan have always rejected
the Iraqi flag, preferring instead to fly the flag
introduced in 1958 after Iraq - previously a
monarchy - became a republic.
The regional parliament in May 2006 approved a
single administration, uniting two rival parties ,
Barzani's KDP and the rival Patriotic Union of
Kurdistan (PUK) to run a unified government.
The KDP and the PUK have divided up most of the
cabinet posts between them, with five of the 32
going to other parties.
The PUK had run Sulaimaniyah province, one of the
three provinces in the oil-rich region, while the
KDP had run the other two provinces of Erbil and
Duhok.
