The Kurdish Change Movement said Thursday that US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's talks with provincial government chief Nigervan Barzani and Prime Minister Haider Abadi were very frank and an early announcement to support Abbadi for a second term.

"The two conversations held yesterday by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo with the provincial government chief Nigervan Barzani and Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi are a clear statement of the American position supporting Abadi's second term," Tafka Ahmed said in a statement.

Ahmed added that "Pompeo's call with Barzani was an American request for the alliance of the two main Kurdish parties with the Abadi bloc in order to accelerate the formation of the next government."

The US Secretary of State had a phone call with Prime Minister Haider Abadi and provincial government President Necrvan Barzani, in which he called for the formation of the government and the United States of America will be its backer. Ending / 25
