ERBIL-Hewlęr, Kurdistan region 'Iraq', — Some
Iraqi political parties are trying under various
pretexts to expedite force into Syria and interfere
in the neighboring country's internal affairs, said
a Kurdish MP.
Today Iraqi news agency cited an MP of the defense
and security committee saying al-Qaeda insurgents
have controlled Albukamal border crossing on
Iraqi-Syrian border.
Shwan Mohammed, a member of the same committee, said
recently some anonymous statements on behalf of the
committee are made to the media.
He continued "in fact, these statements are pretexts
to move the Iraqi army into Syria and interfere in
the issues of this country."
Mohammed added everyone knows the Syrian opposition
has issues with the Syrian regime not Iraqi people.
The Kurdish MP was critical of the government
position towards the Syrian refugees.
He said the government had to "pay back" Syria for
the time it opened its borders for the Iraqi
refugees. But the government closed its borders and
it was only under the pressure by the civil society
and tribal leaders that it decided to re-open the
borders and receive Syrian refugees.
Mohammed also accused the Iraqi government of
"evading" the responsibility of offering services to
Iraqi refugees returning from Syria.
Reports are that yesterday two brigades of the Iraqi
army were moved to be stationed along the
Iraqi-Syrian border near Zumar and Khabur districts
but the Kurdistan border guards objected to the
move.
