The text of the speech of President Massoud Barzani on the occasion of Eid Nowruz
name of Allah the Merciful
, O dear sisters and brothers dear:
O dear Alkrdstaon in Kurdistan and the Diaspora, from the bottom of my heart I bless you to our festival of national solutions Nowruz. More than 2500 years rose up the Kurds and rejected the dictatorship, and since then and today, the Kurds continue to struggle and resistance for freedom and liberation, and this in itself carries connotations and many meanings, it means we are a nation living and do not accept humiliation and servitude of one, We are a nation must be free and live freely, and this study eloquently to us and to others as well.
Sisters and Brothers:
Many people who call and ask us to announce today Bushra great for the people of Kurdistan, so we assure you that that day is coming, God Almighty to declare where that human, but they must be in the time appropriately, but be assured that the human is bound to come.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are in a sensitive stage and will receive a new ministry of the Government of the territory of its functions in these days, and I wish to be involved where Kurdish forces all including the opposition, too, but it seems that the brothers in the opposition has decided not to participate, however we hope to be a mirror of the Government of the Territory to show shortcomings and kinks where, in order to eliminate corruption and to address imbalances and pay level of experience Grammar prospects more sophisticated by the day. We have said repeatedly that we as parties and the parties; natural that our views and opinions of different, but must meet all of us and unite under the umbrella of Alchordaata (movement of Kurdish nationalism), especially today when we see that the Kurdistan exposed again to the plans and unlawful attacks by predators, and haunt many of them dreams to create gaps in the ranks of Kurdish forces, but the Kurds are united when there is a risk of threatening the security of the region and the future of the Kurds and Kurdistan, and, alas, and I say with all the bitterness; appeared there just a few of the people turning their backs for years and Insunha, because they have forgotten what by the Kurds to them, the role of the Kurds is a clear role and clear, though Kurdistan was a haven for the persecuted and oppressed, and the few that impose on itself by force in Baghdad, had resorted to Kurdistan, and then opened the Kurdistan doors to them.
Iraq, these days witnessing a serious crisis, and when we say a serious crisis, we realize what We say what we mean, and we always sought to serve our fellow Arabs, Turkmen, Assyrians and Chaldeans in the whole of Iraq; Ksaina to serve Kurdistan, because we want to serve Iraq in general.
and after the overthrow of the dictatorial regime in 2003, we have tried effort possible to benefit other parts of Iraq from the experience of Kurdistan, but they unfortunately did not benefit from our experience. We have done what we can to prevent the outbreak of sectarian conflicts and sectarian; and we said and we are saying as well: We will not be part of this conflict, and we feel bitterly when he kills one of the Sons of Iraq, either in Basra or Erbil or Baghdad, Najaf, or in any other Iraqi city, because they are our people and Zuona and Wellbeing . But everyone knows that the Kurds have had a major role in bringing down the system and building the new Iraq, especially in the establishment of the current government, which was formed two years ago based on the agreement of Erbil, the Kurds, it is without a role for exposure to the perils of Iraq. Unfortunately now emerged just a few of people monopolized the joints of power all the broadcast intellectual terrorism, where it is not possible that criticizes one or express his opinion and only suffered agitation and started Itahjmon unabated.
Today the time has come to clarify the facts to the people of Kurdistan and the Iraqis in general, in order to know the difference between us .
that our disagreement is on the:
First: A Partnership Kurds and Arabs in power (ie, Arab Shiites and Sunni Arabs) with an estimate of the partnership other components, partnership now no longer has any meaning.
Second, commitment to the Constitution; where they are violating the constitution constantly, as well as neglect and lack of implementation of agreements Erbil from the ground up. And that they have forgotten the Constitution and the Partnership upon arrival to power, they forget that this is closely related to the fate of Iraq and all Iraqis and not about the fate of the Kurdistan region only.
and come to the differences between the group which is now in power in Baghdad and the region:
1. The differences are over Kirkuk and other disputed territories, where they evade them always, while we have expressed our highest degree of flexibility, and I thank you, the masses of the people of Kurdistan, for you you take a lot, and was s destination is to a point that you doubt that we did not make the effort seriously and enough, or that we were remiss in our performance, but we have made efforts and we did not fall short, we we have expressed good intentions when we want to deal with it by resorting to the constitution, we imagine that others respect the covenants and their signatures, because the Constitution a mechanism solution to address these problems , there is nothing wrong if it was processed in accordance with the Constitution or be treated as well as now, but it is not possible to give up on this, because this issue is for us than the question of principle.
2. The issue of the Peshmerga, everyone knows what the role played by the peshmerga at the level of the whole of Iraq, but now look at the Peshmerga look the enemy, and they are in the past six years even plundered the budget for the Peshmerga are not allowing to send Kurdistan. Worse than that; This Althelp waiting for access to fighter aircraft F-16 to try its luck again with the Peshmerga. They are in this mental rule Iraq!.
3. The issue of oil and gas, we have agreed in February of 2007 the draft law of oil and gas to be referred to the House of Representatives, and stipulates that in case of not passed to the fifth month of that year, shall have the right at the time of the province and the federal government spend decades, we have no any difference accordance with the Constitution, because the oil and gas are the king of Iraq, though, and Ardathma is for all Iraqis, then why not refer the law to the parliament?. However, they suffer madness in Baghdad in the event of the arrival of any company to enter into contracts with the region, because they know that what we do is work unconstitutional. The problem is not the constitutionality or unconstitutionality of such contracts, but the issue they will not endure for any development in Kurdistan and stand deduced from any progress happening where, despite the fact that those contracts where the good of all Iraqis, and we are committed to this income is for all Iraqis, with that do not allow any company coming here, not to mention the threat Augeouna to those companies and lobbying by various means.
4. The other point related to the formation of an army two million have allegiance to one person, when obtained in any part of the world there is a person brings in his hands positions such as commander of the armed forces and defense minister and interior minister, intelligence chief and head of the National Security Council?!, And yesterday a message was sent to the bank Central to be associated with too!, what is left for others I wonder?, and if some people believed that the Shiites are satisfied with this situation, the Shiites are marginalized by the Sunni and the Kurds. And which is deplorable is that this group wants to show to the world that the Kurds are the ones who have changed their position on Shiites or changed their ally!, But the Shiites, who know them are the followers and supporters of al-Hakim and al-Sadr, and they who stood always by the Kurds and supported them, and the Kurds, in turn, stood them and supported them, and we will always alongside each other and each other and supportive Mtakndeghin together as well. Those who claim to be defenders of the rights of the Shiites, defense is not to be marginalized by the Shiite alliance, and is not by creating new enemies of the Shiites. Or that do not work out to others in Iraq any account. We say that Iraq is for all of us; Kurds, Shiites, Sunnis, Turkmen, Assyrians, Chaldeans, Iraq for all Iraqis and all according to its size and location. And they serve the Shiites through providing services to the Shiites and achieve security and stability for the Iraqi people. But what you did to Iraq? Yours; let's put the accounts as a whole on the table!.
We affirm the commitment to Bthalphena with our fellow Shiites, but not with this class that monopolized all aspects of power do not count for others any account, and I am sure that the Shiites are not satisfied with this situation by the Kurds and Sunnis.
Sisters and Brothers :
It is high time that we say it enough, because Iraq is moving towards the abyss, though a few are about to drag Iraq into a dictatorship, Iraq is experiencing a serious crisis, and the time such a situation is unacceptable for us at all, and for this call: All the leaders of parties and Iraqi political parties to stimuli of the situation and sit down together at a time when urgent; so as to develop mechanisms and to accelerate the solution to this situation and deal in a very short period, otherwise we will go to our people, and then take our final decision, and this so as not to have received, we blame anymore.
In conclusion; send Pthaaana to the lives of the martyrs of the whole of Iraq, the Kurds and Kurdistan, Martyrs, and all the martyrs for freedom in the world.
Mubarak again you Nowruz festival and thank you very much.
