"Kurdistan" declares its readiness for any kind of negotiations with the Iraqi government

Kurdistan Regional Government Meeting

 

 12 October 2017 04:53 PM

Directly : it renewed the Kurdistan Regional Government in a statement today, its call for dialogue with regard to ports, internal trade , insurance services to citizens, banks and airports , under restrictions after the secession of the province referendum, and confirmed its readiness for any kind of negotiation under the Iraqi constitution.

Thanks Yota,  your amazing stamina here is nothing other than stellar. 

Man, I think the Kurds have backed themselves into a corner with this referendum thing and Barzani has got them all up in arms trying to protect his crooked a$$. Something has got to give here and soon cause these guys are just coming off of years of major conflict and fighting, I mean, it’s in their blood to be constantly at war and another fight brewing just when things are starting to perhaps calm down, could get nasty. I’m not sure how much of all this is real,  how much is a playhouse or fake news, but, one thing is for sure, their are many moving pieces in this chess game and many advances being made but it’s like walking a tight rope over the Grand Canyon, one small gust and your diving down to the river below without a parachute. 

I know I know, this is what they do, conflict is in their genes, war is a way of life but we have seen as of late advances in all areas, billions being spent in new infrastructure, banking, oil and gas, telecommunications, and the list goes on and on. 

I don’t know, are the PTB’s REALLY wiling to let the war machine continue over there?  I would hope not and, personally I don’t see that happening, but what I do see is due to the current Abadi mission which is to abolish and hopefully bring to trial corrupt officials who robbed iraq blind, those with dirty hands are trying to put a monkey wrench into the stabilization of this whole deal. Will they succeed?
