The President of the Kurdistan Region, Nechirvan Barzani, confirmed the commitment to any decision taken by Iraq regarding the presence of the international coalition forces.
Barzani said, in a television interview, that the coalition forces came with a request from the Iraqi government to confront ISIS, and it has been a long time since their coming, so it is normal to negotiate again to determine the form of the future relationship between the coalition and Baghdad, and on this basis, the decision is made how future relations will be.
“However, ISIS remains a large threat to Iraq,” he added, noting that “the reason is because the ISIS issue is related to the stability of Syria, not just Iraq.”
“We are not isolating the Kurdistan region from Iraq,” the president of the Kurdistan region, on whether Kurdistan will turn into an alternative geography to Iraq for US bases.
“According to our policy, any decision that will be made will be within the framework of the Iraqi geography,” Barzani said, and the Kurdistan region as part of Iraq will abide by the decision taken by Iraq in general.
Last week, Iraqi authorities announced the resumption of negotiations with Washington on the future of the international coalition to combat ISIS, stressing that they will be carried out “periodically” with the aim of completing them “as soon as possible.”
Baghdad and Washington launched these talks late last month, as part of a joint “super military committee,” but were suspended on the same 28th by a drone attack that killed 3 U.S. soldiers in Jordan on the border with Syria.
“The justifications for the existence of the international coalition that were in 2014 are over and there is no need for the coalition presence on Iraqi soil,” Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudani said yesterday.
