7/10/2015
ERBIL-Hewler, Kurdistan region ‘Iraq’,— 28 parliamentarians in Iraqi Kurdistan region have submitted on Friday a petition to the president of the parliament to investigate the migration of youths to abroad. Gorran (Change) Movement deputy Evar Ibrahim who spoke to ANF on the subject told that three thousand youths in Kurdistan have illegally fled to abroad in the last one month, and demanded an ascertainment of solutions to hinder this problem at the parliament. Ibrahim remarked that the government was responsible for the flight of the youths.
‘Kurdistan Regional Government fails to provide a future for the youths’
Pointing out that the flight of youths to abroad took place in an illegal way, Ibrahim made the following evaluation regarding the reasons for this flight; “For more than 20 years now, the government has failed to meet the needs of the youths in our region, to provide a future for them and to give the necessary service. Besides, the political and economic crisis in our region does also have an influence on this. Overwhelmed with these problems, and facing a deadlock and a lack of solution, the youths are resorting to flee to abroad, which is as a matter of fact a consequence of a pursuit. If you fail to answer the basic needs of the people, you will naturally cause them to change their course.”
‘They are risking death’
Stressing that the leave for abroad was an explicit flight conducted over illegal and very dangerous ways, Ibrahim said; “Most of them are risking death while fleeing to abroad. We are not arguing that nobody should go abroad or prefer where they want to live, but this is not a normal leave. There must be a solution found for this problem. The regional government needs to adopt an attitude and undertake responsibility to avoid such flights over dangerous ways. The problems of the youths must be ascertained correctly and ensured a solution.”
‘Causes and solutions should be searched out’
Noting that the parliament should treat this problem at a special session, Ibrahim said they have filed a petition signed by 28 parliamentarians to the president of the parliament on Friday. She added that the signatories included parliamentarians from the Gorran Movement, Communist Party of Kurdistan, PUK (Patriotic Union of Kurdistan), Yekgırtu Islam, Komala Islam and Turkmens.
