Kurdistan and Iraq have not divided airports and border control points

20
The conflict between the authorities of Iraqi Kurdistan and official Baghdad continues to worsen. A political conflict broke out after the Kurdistan authorities decided to hold a referendum on independence. Recall that following the results of the plebiscite, the overwhelming majority of Kurds living in Iraq called for independence of Kurdistan.

Baghdad immediately demanded that the Kurdish authorities hand over all security checkpoints and airports in Kurdish territory to Iraqi control. The authorities of Iraqi Kurdistan said they did not intend to transfer these facilities under control to the Iraqi government. In response, the Iraqi authorities called on international air carriers to abandon flights to the cities of Iraqi Kurdistan, in particular, to Erbil.

Kurdistan and Iraq have not divided airports and border control points


Transport Minister of Iraqi Kurdistan Mevlyud Bavemurad stated that Erbil regards such appeals from Baghdad as an unfriendly act threatening the humanitarian situation in the Kurdish territory. The closure of the aviation communication, according to Bavemurad, can lead to serious consequences, including the inability to carry out sanitary flights and flights with employees of diplomatic structures.

Against this background, the head of Kurdistan proposes to the Prime Minister of Iraq "to work out the only right decision" at the negotiating table.

    This is where the new Middle East time bomb is. Now independent Kurdistan will have the right to pump in Iraq ..... then, over time, in Syria, and in Turkey the resistance of the Kurds will increase .....

      Iraqi Kurds have already disowned the PKK in order to preserve what they have. They are now just butt with Turkey.

    Kurdistan leader invites Iraqi prime minister to "work out the only right solution" at the negotiating table

    Of course, the Kurds offer to negotiate, they now need to be anxious about this chance. More he can afford

    Kurds made their choice. Just like the Ukrainians in February 2014. In the current geopolitical and regional conditions, the choice is stupid and tragic in the future. Now the consequences will make them resent themselves. Even if it does not go to war and ethnic cleansing of territories, the economic blockade of Iraqi and then Syrian Kurdistan can be very severe in its outcome.

      Competent card. Therefore, the question begins to arise - and maybe the Kurds, what about “shedding blood” in Dayr-Ez-Zor, the oil fields are not so important, how much is this passage?

        Jews need it so that there is no common border between Syria and Iraq, which is why the Kurds help themselves and with the help of the Americans.

        So far, the "draftsmen" seem to be right - the Kurds captured Jafra Oilfield in front of the Omar oil fields, in the very corner, at the confluence of the rivers ...
