PUK to release new video of Talabani soon / A BERLIN MIRACLE

21.03.2014 –  Hemin Salih – BasNews, Erbil – The leaders of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) are not aware of having a video recording of the General Secretary of the PUK and President of Iraq, Jalal Talabani, which is expected to be aired as part of the PUK’s propaganda campaign in the forthcoming election.According to information obtained, Dr. Najmadeen Karim, the member of the PUK bureau and personal doctor of Talabani, recorded a video on his last visit to see Talabani in Germany.

In the last parliamentary election in the Kurdistan Region, the PUK attempted to record a short video of Talabani to be used in their campaign, but the plan was abandoned due to the President’s poor health. BasNews contacted several leaders of the PUK, among them Ala Talabani, member of the PUK leadership council, regarding the video. While hoping for the President’s good health, he said that he was unaware of the existence of such a video. In the last parliamentary election, the administrator of the PUK bureau, Mulla Bakhtyar, stated that only two of Talabani’s fingers in a short video before the election would have changed the result. At that time, the Talabani family could only publish some photographs of him, and they faced strong criticism regarding their credibility.
