BAGHDAD (Reuters) – Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi received a letter from eight US senators on the crisis between Baghdad and Erbil, the newspaper Al-Arab reported on Saturday, pointing to the Kurdish leadership’s retreat from previous approval to withdraw from all areas the central government wants to regain control of.
“Abadi received on Friday a letter from eight members of the US Senate asking him to put an end to the fears of the war between Baghdad and Erbil and called for the removal of the popular crowd from the disputed areas,” the paper said in a report.
She added that “US lawmakers urged Abadi to accept the offer of Kurdistan freeze the results of the referendum, and expressed their concern about the use of US weapons in an internal Iraqi conflict.”
The newspaper quoted sources familiar with the scenes of negotiations between the delegations of Baghdad and Erbil military as saying that there is “a retreat by the Kurdish leadership of the prior consent to withdraw from all areas that Baghdad wants to regain control.”
The sources pointed out that “the reality of the negotiations changed a lot, after the Kurds have recognized all the demands of Baghdad during the rounds of previous negotiations, they now seek a degree of equality in their negotiations with the central government.”
