Last Exit Talabani in Berlin : / PUK OWNS MANY WEALTHY HOUSING QUARTERS IN GERMANY

29.01.2014 – Mewan Dolamari – BasNews, Germany – A source has confirmed that the Founder and Secretary General of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) and President of Iraq, Jalal Talabani, is still in Berlin, Germany. However, to avoid the media in light of his health condition, it is reported that Talabani has been moved to a villa in the Zehlendorf quarter owned by a Kurdish citizen of the city. As noted previously in BasNews, Talabani’s guards also left the hotel he was staying in for the villa and reside there to ensure his security.

One guard has been tasked with securing all provision for those inside the villa, but the remainder have been restricted from leaving the villa grounds. Zehlendorf is an elite quarter where most of the cities wealthy residents reside. The quarter is known for its expensively decorated villas.  Talabani, who suffered a stroke in December 2012, has been recovering in Germany ever since.
