Erbil-Hewler, Kurdistan region 'Iraq',--
During the past few weeks the forces of the Islamic
Republic of Iran have been shelling the border areas
of the Kurdistan Region in Iraq. This shelling has
resulted in the displacement of thousands of
villagers, the disruption of their lives, and the
destruction of several villages. It has also
inflicted great loss and destruction and spread fear
among the people of Kurdistan.
The KRG strongly condemns this unjust and
unwarranted military action which contravenes
international law and disregards neighbourly
relations. It is a clear violation of the
sovereignty of Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional
Government (KRG) considers it an act of aggression.

The KRG calls upon the government of the Islamic
Republic of Iran to immediately end this shelling
and its threats. At the same time, the KRG requests
that the federal government in Baghdad take a clear
position on this violation of Iraq's borders, which
is causing disruption and confusion to the lives of
the people of the Kurdistan Region.
We also call upon the Multinational Forces in Iraq
and the United Nations Security Council to address
the issue and stop these unjust attacks.
The KRG restates its commitment to good neighbourly
relations on the basis of mutual respect and common
interest.
The Spokesman. Kurdistan Regional Government
