PM Barzani: We must follow constitution timetable to solve Kirkuk
” Our official relationship began with Turkey in 1991 during a refugee crisis that was addressed through mutually cooperation. While Turkey has occasionally taken a harsh disposition towards us, we have also successfully engaged each other with mutual respect. Since we have been
responsible for the administration of the Kurdistan Region, we have not threatened or interfered in any way with the internal affairs of our neighbours, especially their security affairs. On the contrary, we have played a major role in promoting peace and contributing to their security. The Kurdistan Region has never threatened our neighbours. We have proven that we are not a violent or threatening government. In fact, we are a region where personal security and political stability prevails. » more
