Baghdad / Sky Press:
Threatened the President of the Kurdistan Region Massoud Barzani to respond with “force” on anyone thinking of control of the city of Kirkuk. According to him.
Barzani said in an interview with “Sky Press” that “the Kurdistan region is ready to negotiate with Baghdad even after the referendum on the issue of borders, including Kirkuk, but Kirkuk and Kurdistan, and we are ready to make it a model for coexistence.”
Barzani added that “any force that thinks to recover Kirkuk by force will be faced by all the people of Kurdistan and we will defend them until the last of us.”
Barzani said that “Kirkuk is not a Kurdish city only, Kirkuk is for the Kurds and the Arabs and Turkomans and Christians, and must understand and agree among themselves.”
Barzani pointed out that “the organization tried to assassinate him during his presence on the fronts of fighting with the Peshmerga forces more than once through the booby-traps and shelling, during his almost continuous presence on the fronts of fighting with the Peshmerga forces in its battles against the organization of a preacher.”
“It was not possible to organize an advocate of access to them and they knew that,” Barzani said. “They have made many attempts and there have been many attempts to assassinate the front through bombings and booby traps.”
The Kurds’ decision to set a date for their fate has been met with anger from neighboring capitals, especially Ankara and Tehran, which believe the time is not ripe for the referendum.
Barzani said that “the province of Kurdistan has taken care of the possibility of closing the border and sever relations by regional countries.”
“Each party is free to take its decisions, but the loss will not be ours alone if our neighbors make a similar move,” he said.
