The Kurdistan parliament stressed that these decisions do not apply to the Kurdistan region without their approval. This came during the meeting held by the Kurdish parliament in the presence of 62 members out of 111, in response to the decisions of the Iraqi government and parliament after the Kurdish referendum on secession. Majority of parliament voted on a set of resolutions, including supporting the provincial government in rejecting Baghdad’s decisions. Iraq’s parliament and government took a number of decision against the KRG, including retaking its borders of Erbil and Sulaymaniyah from the provisional government. The Kurdish parliament said that closure of land and air borders were not within the powers of the federal government. |

| #4 There is no future in an Iraqi govt. It is tribal and corrupt. I agree with newc: The Kurds deserve their own country more than anyone else in the region. They have earned it. Mosul Dam is a metaphor of all that is wrong with Iraq---built on a bad foundation. |

| #1 You hang tough Kurdistan. These piece of shits have been promising you a state since before WWI. Do not forget without Kurdistan, this place would be a greater funeral pyre to fake gods and phony protectors. You deserve your state. The Lord Your GOD Above believes in you and this concept. Be the last man standing because the others are all chasing their tails.. |
