Erbil's interest with Baghdad

Sunday 25 August 2019 47

 

The agreement between the Iraqi Foreign Ministry and the Kurdistan Regional Government on the representation of the region among the Iraqi delegations participating in international conferences, represents a step towards the right approach that enhances the sovereignty and image of Iraq before international forums. It is certainly better than the participation of an independent delegation on behalf of the region with the knowledge of everyone, that the region is not an independent country but part of Iraq. Relations and economic and other interests were behind organizers' acceptance of independent participation. Many will object that the recent agreement will give the region a special status that distinguishes it from the rest of Iraq, but what has been done is possible to prevent the worst. Thus is politics as the art of the possible and dealt with thoughtfulness to minimize as much as possible
Damages.


In Erbil, although the joints of the government are now confined to Mr. Barzani's family, there are differences in attitudes. I am talking about the position of the Federal Authority. This may be a factor of discrepancy between the current president of the province, Mr. Nechirwan Barzani, the head of the provincial government, his cousin and the uncle of his children, Mr. Masroor Barzani.


The points of disagreement between them do not stop at the limits of the position on Baghdad, but extend to the struggle for influence within the Democratic Party after delighted to remove the supporters of his cousin from their party and government positions under the slogan of the use of new blood, which loses Mr. Nchirwan, as the President of the province, the tools of influence within the party and the government.


But the current president of the province is counting on the Kurdish street, which began to much of it tends to be the most enthusiastic to solve problems with Baghdad, a subject that has become a concern of the Kurdish citizen after suffering for years and continued to this day because of the positions of some politicians and their opposition to the federal government, which they participate in important ministries. The public's concern over the continuing tension with Baghdad is fueled by the uprising led by politicians in Baghdad against the continued refusal of the Erbil authority to fulfill its obligations towards the federal state, and to act independently, which increases protests in Baghdad and weakens the ability of leaders close to the leadership of the region to continue silence . It may reflect on the next budget, specifically the fate of the region's share and salaries
His staff.


This concern experienced by the Kurdish street will raise the popularity of any Kurdish politician seeking to solve problems with Baghdad to protect the interests of Kurdish citizens in the region.
