ERBIL-Hewlêr,
Kurdistan region 'Iraq',— Kurdistan Democratic Party
(KDP) is in no way afraid of the improving relations
between the opposition party, Gorran (Change)
Movement, and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK),
said KDP politburo spokesperson.
Gorran, an offshoot of PUK, was founded in 2009, two
years after Kurdistan President Massoud Barzani's
KDP and Iraqi President Jalal Talabani's PUK signed
a strategic deal for power share.
After the formation of Gorran, relations between the
ruling parties and the first and the major
oppositional party deteriorated. On July 10 the PUK
and Gorran formed a committee for normalizing their
bilateral relations.
KDP politburo spokesperson Fadel Mirani said the KDP
has never been troubled by the rapprochement between
the PUK and Gorran because Gorran was part of the
PUK and "we are PUK's ally.
"With the separation of Gorran from PUK the pressure
on KDP became heavier than the pressure on PUK and
Gorran and now that they are closer to each other we
hope that they reunite."
Mirani continued it is true that now KDP has an
argument with Gorran but Gorran "is still our
friend".
KDP official believes the current argument will be
settled "and we try so that it [the argument] does
not affect the political situation of [Kurdistan]
region."
A recent televised interview by Nawshirwan Mustafa,
Gorran's general coordinator, and the opposition's
objection to the creation of the Security Council,
led by Barzani's son, Masrour Barzani,www.ekurd.net
deteriorated relations between the KDP and Gorran.
Mustafa accused KDP of consolidating power of
Barzani's family in the past 20 years. KDP issued a
statement in response saying Mustafa's party targets
only Barzani and the KDP.
