Public Backlash: Title of Gorran Properties Transferred to Nawshirwan Mustafa’s Offsprings

Basnews English  –  29/08/2017 – 17:02 – SULAYMANIYAH — The ownership of almost entire properties of the Change Movement (Gorran) has been transferred to the two sons of the late leader Nawshirwan Mustafa, a decision which has caused a public and political backlash.

Awna Newspaper revealed that Gorran’s properties, including the party’s stocks in several ongoing projects and a 305,000 square meters of land property, have all been transferred to Nma and Chiya Nawshirwan Mustafa. The title also includes the party’s TV Channel Kurdish News Network (KNN).

According to the report, Gorran is now holding no shares in these properties, not even the ownership of the headquarters building. The decision however has led to fierce criticism being directed at the party. Kurdish author Mariwan Wrya Qani’ said on his official Facebook page that striping the party of the ownership of its properties is a “wrecking threat” to Gorran.He believes that this issue could also lead to a disaster which will bring Gorran to its political end. Qani’ further explains that Gorran has been different from other Kurdish political parties for two principles: there is no inheritance of political power and positions, and no intention of financial benefit by its leaders through their political positions.However, the Kurdish well-known author believes that the latest move by Mustafa’s offsprings could damage these principles of the party, and Gorran may face challenges now to overcome this new trend within its ranks . www.mesop.de
