Press Release- Kurdistan FINAL

We are optimistic by the process of negotiations, but may reconsider the prospect of rejoining the Iraqi State. At this point, the one obstacle to a diplomatic resolution remains the unprecedented demands of completely integrating the Pershmerga. We have been limited by the assassination of our Prime Minister but hopefully things will conclude shortly. But ultimately we made a stand to assert our independence and will stand by it if unacceptable demand are continued.
