Gorran leader to deal with Baghdad on behalf of Kurds

17.06.2014 –  Hemin Salih – BasNews, Erbil – Kurdish President Massoud Barzani and Gorran (Change Movement) leader Nawshirwan Mustafa have agreed to maintain Kurdistan’s current position on Iraq and not make any moves that the enclave may later regret.

 According to undisclosed sources in Monday’s meeting between Barzani and Mustafa the two leaders were in agreement regarding the situation that is taking place in Iraq.

In the meeting, they also discussed giving Mustafa the go-ahead to deal with Baghdad as well as convince the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) to adopt the same stance regarding Baghdad and the Islamic State of Iraq and Sham (ISIS).The Kurdistan Region has shown neighboring countries that it is a source of stability in Iraq.

A delegation of officials will soon visit Turkey, as they did in Iran, in order to discuss Kurdistan’s stance. BasNews has been informed that a Kurdish delegation led by both Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) Politic Bureau Secretary Fazil Mirani and PUK Politic Bureau Member Saadi Pira will visit tribal leaders and well-known Sunnis in the mid provinces of Iraq in order to show that a Kurdish approach in the region will not destabilize it, but rather bring political, social, and economic stability.

PUK member Pira told BasNews that the party is ready to operate in the interest of the Kurdish people.
