Patriarch Sacco: The Vatican is ready to encourage dialogue between Erbil and Baghdad

Despite months of liberation, no rebuilding in the Nineveh Plain ...

Patriarch Sacco: The Vatican is ready to encourage dialogue between Erbil and Baghdad
 

Patriarch Louis Raphael Sacco, Patriarch of Babylon of the Chaldeans, stressed the need to rebuild the country and educate the Iraqi people, pointing out that we must first of all rebuild people first, especially in Mosul Christians and Muslims alike. Although they have lived side by side for a long time, that coexistence is not clear in itself.

"Unfortunately, the political framework is not conducive to optimism," the patriarch said in an interview with the French daily L'Accroix. Eight months have passed since the Nineveh Plain villages were liberated and we have been told that infrastructure will be rebuilt, but nothing has happened. " "Churches and Christian organizations from abroad alone are helping Christians to return to their homes."

"War and violence rampant in tribal culture and mentality have done us a lot of damage," he said.Pointing out that "the formation of Christians their own protection at the tribal level through the formation of militias will be a choice of chaos against state rule and law." "In order to help Christians in the Nineveh Plain, we have to help them regain their responsibilities, so that they become masters of their own destiny and find work for them."

Patriarch Louis Raphael Sacco, Patriarch of Babylon of the Chaldeans, added that our basic need is peace. Continuing war, destruction and creating misery are very easy. Individuals and States must be helped to build peace, not only by looking for their own economic interests but also for the dignity of the person, which is very complex. Therefore, the only solution lies in honest and courageous dialogue. Adding that the Vatican could have a moral rather than a political impact on reconciliation.

"When we went to Rome on our last visit to the Holy See, Cardinal Barrolin (Secretary of State of the Holy See) reiterated his readiness to come to Iraq to encourage dialogue between the central government and the Kurdistan Regional Government."

"Our countries, Iraq and Syria in particular, have been volcanoes for 10 or 15. When there is an oppressed person, his reaction to resorting to the court, but to himself and his clan, to retaliation is no longer important to us. Help us change this culture, in order to restore the importance of human life, it is no longer our dream to return to the first centuries of Christianity or Islam. " "The old literature calling for the killing of Christians, Jews or polytheists was written 1,400 years ago," he said, adding: "This is meaningless and it is paradoxical to talk about jihad (holy war) and force people to leave their homes and lands and to distance themselves from their heritage and history. Today, we are no longer a threat to Muslims. "

On March 1, leaders of all faiths gathered in Baghdad for a day of discussions on the subject of "Together," he said, "we must help them make radical reforms in the way they read their texts, "We are looking for the right word to stamp out the rhetoric of fanatics in the name of religion." A Sunni cleric courageously admitted that there were "ticking bombs" in religious literature, and if so, they should be defused.

He pointed out that three thousand families had already returned to Karkukush, 100 families to the left coast of Mosul, and even one family to the right side, which helped us to renovate her house next to the Dominican Father's Monastery. Thanks to the work of the French "work of the East", we return the Church of St. Paul in Mosul.

"In the coming months, we will also have to rebuild and open our schools and medical clinics in Mosul, which our Muslim neighbors used to visit. This is our testimony. I see around me many Muslims who are tired of the hate speech in the name of God.

Why Barzani's referendum?

 

 Ahmed Al-Zawaiti

 01 April 2018

 
 

After I left Kurdistan for a work mission, I asked the question: "Why do Barzani present the referendum ?!" Some of them asked me out of sympathy with the Kurds, suffering what was resolved in the Kurdistan region after that .. Some others asked me the door of the schism with the Kurds and the referendum resolution and what resulted from that! "The regional countries do not allow you to do this, and the West does not accept, and you do not have the sea as Israel." One of them said, "You ate a hue!" Some of them were sympathetic to Iran and accuse the former Kurdistan Region of working for Turkey, including the sympathizer with Turkey and accuses the province of employment to Iran, before the referendum! Both accused the region of working for America and Israel and of working for all that is an enemy of the Arab and Islamic nation.

Before entering into the details of "Why Barzani's referendum?", It is obvious that the Kurdish people are free to decide whether to stay with Iraq, independence from it, joining Turkey, Iran instead of Iraq or any other option, even if The referendum is one of the manifestations of freedom for any people, regardless of whether that option is possible or impossible to achieve. The referendum in short is the freedom to express an opinion .. I am with the referendum even on the unification to form the Greater Kurdistan (North) And south and west and east) and that it is the dreams of birds, as he said .. but I With the referendum on the contrary on the division of the division of Kurdistan, for example, the Kurdistan Region to two departments or two provinces or two small (Erbil and Sulaymaniyah) they will not be smaller than some of the Gulf countries successful .. The important to be the choice of the people, and not other than the referendum mechanism to express The opinion of the people .. be the choice ..

I return to the topic Why Barzani's referendum? So he led the Kurds to what they are in ?! This question was the most disturbing question to me from the colleagues of non-cord, especially who was asking not out of hearing the answer but from the accusation that we had sinned! And go to more than that describing the decision-maker with various negative characteristics ..

Question: Which of these is not innocent !!

Let us assume that the referendum results in a state! And succeeded, and there was US, regional and international support for him? Would they have blessed the Kurds with this step ?!

No, the question at the time would be:

Did not you transfer agents to America and Israel?

Have not you transferred Israel again?

To come back to the annoying question again ..

Why did Barzani submit the referendum? !

I remember, and I still have a registered record, a stock in my archive, and a post on my Facebook page here. I was covering him for the island in his time, and commented on him directly, specifically in Noroz of 2012 Barzani said that the government in Baghdad is moving away day after day on the foundations that were agreed to form Iraq after 2003 and the basis of consensus!"If Baghdad continues in this direction, we will have to resort to the opinion of the people," Barzani said at the time. His speech then apologizes to the people of Kurdistan as they were responsible for them could not solve the problems with Baghdad .. !!

Baghdad went after Barzani's word for the worst, cut the budget completely from Kurdistan in 2014, and made the staff of Kurdistan without a salary, and tried in various ways to block the sale of Kurdistan oil abroad, and moved on the countries surrounding the province to make it stand against Iraq from Kurdistan, not to mention move against the region on Global levels, and increased threats from the leaders of the popular crowd that their next battle after the preacher is against the Kurdistan Region described in the axioms of their thinking as a client of the greatest enemy - America - without which there was no such thing as popular crowd! Do not occupy Baghdad and Erbil!

Any fair study of the position of the Iraqi government from 2012 until the referendum on 25-9-2017, it is clear that Baghdad did not consider the Kurdistan Region part of Iraq, and the referendum was only a measure to achieve the reality officially, the reality imposed by the policies of Baghdad .. Barzani's speech referred The above was a clear signal that it meant "referendum" and from the date 2012, was not a surprise, as some imagine .. The parliament before the disruption of the year - 2015 - to prepare for the referendum, and formed committees for the drafting of a special law, Further, when he issued a law to form an independent supreme commission for the referendum and elections, Kurdistan and apart from the Baghdad Commission! So that the decision will be purely Cordostan decision, all this before 2015.

The international position of the referendum After that began Barzani tour around the world, was accompanied by representatives of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, and representatives of the active forces in Kurdistan .. Through my follow-up as a journalist for these tours and contact with those who were accompanied by Barzani, and through statements Barzani after each round, or Statements accompanying him, it appeared that the Kurdish party was convinced of international understanding of the request for the referendum, or at least did not face rejection and opposition!It was Barzani met with them and the Kurdish delegation in this subject to coordinate with Baghdad on the subject .. Barzani always stated: Any action taken by the Kurdish side in this regard will be democratic ways and according to what is allowed by the Iraqi Constitution, and in coordination with Baghdad, and not by De facto imposition ..

What about Barzani's ally Turkey? !

I can not believe when Turkey says that its ally Barzani was not consulted on the subject of the referendum! Turkey's recent vicissitudes from the opposite of Russia's policies and the overthrow of its aircraft, to its ally and an apology for dropping the plane and paying compensation to Russian pilots who They were making the cities of Syria, the revolution supported Turkey to empty on its thrones ..

The shift from supporting the so-called Syrian revolution to support its main enemies, "Russia and Iran" and the coup against the pro-Sunni appearance of a Shiite alliance: "Tehran - Baghdad - Damascus." The alliance that brought Sunnis back in Iraq and Syria, land and people, .. That is the policy that proved during twenty years that where the interest was there .. Do not exclude from Turkey to say that Barzani did not consult in the referendum, and Barzani in the weakest stages, distancing himself from the political scene, abstaining from the statements, Fateh Turkey referendum issue or not ?! ... The information that I have to indicate that both Barzani and Massoud Yerevan opened the subject of the referendum on Turkey, specifically Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and did not show Erdogan and his foreign minister and refused to prevent the Kurdistan Region to take this step, but was looking further when it did not stop only To be Kirkuk with the Kurdistan Region, but Nineveh also with Salahuddin and even Anbar, was planning to include the year of Iraq also to this step with the region, and then join the whole of Turkey to restore the glory of the Ottoman Empire ..

This section of the report published in the site of Frattenius entitled "The establishment of the independent Kurdish state and its capital Erbil," a subject published before being Haidar Abadi prime minister and before the region to take any practical procedures for the referendum: "In a remarkable move, informed the Turkish government headed by Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Barzani that it would support the establishment of an independent Kurdish state in northern Iraq if the only option in front of the Kurds in the face of the policies of al-Maliki based on the statement of the Kurdish source. The source said that the support of the AKP government in Ankara to an independent Kurdish state headed by Barzani, has two fundamental reasons: the first concerns the Turkish regional strategy, the establishment of a Kurdish state will contribute to weakening Iranian influence in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region in particular.

The second reason is due to the developments in the Syrian situation and therefore Erdogan's government believes that the establishment of a Kurdish state headed by Barzani may be vital to contain the Kurdish regional problem that will escalate after the collapse of the Assad regime. The Kurdistan Region, adjacent to the western Kurdistan region in the Syrian regions of Qamishli and Hasaka, As a geopolitical and geo-strategic location in the context of Turkish national security, and therefore Ankara can find in the independent Kurdish state in northern Iraq a polarization of the problem of Kurds inside Turkey, resulting in the end of the armed action of the "Workers of Kurdistan" under the chairmanship It must Ocalan and the Turkish state, which cost a lot of economic, military and security burdens. The Kurdish source revealed that the government of Erdogan is ready for two strategic things to support the Kurdish state, one of persuading the Sunnis support this state headed by Barzani and the other is to form a kind of confederation between the state Barzani and Turkey.

This is why even less than a month ago, all the Iraqi analysts in Baghdad were inclined to support Turkey's referendum and support the region for separation from Iraq. The interest of the Turkish government, led by Erdoğan in the Kurdistan Region, has been clearly shown and signed for 50 years with Kurdistan Region. Making Kurdistan Region among the top ten countries for Turkey in the trade exchange with them, this was announced by the Turkish Consul in the region, which pushed Erdogan himself to come to Arbil Vatha airport !! Which was receiving Massoud Barzani reception of the presidents and flags of Kurdistan from the airport and even the presidential palace .. Therefore, the Kurdistan Workers' Party announced openly day that he would stand against the Kurdish state, which is formed by Barzani, because it is a Turkish project !! Turkey's volatility on this position from the region came after it was confirmed that the Kurdish state project was not succeeding and had many enemies, not supported as it imagined from America and Israel was quick to line up with Iran and Baghdad to get part of the cake from the failure of the referendum,

Iran and what do you know what Iran is? !!

It is she who knows how to play and how to mix cards and how to move her weak allies to play adult games .. It is the strategy that says: "Do not kill the snake with your hands, but my hands others," which made Hassan Nasrallah from an unknown figure until the nineties to the strongest figure on The level of the Levant, and how to make Huthi of the figure does not pay attention to one of the strongest person in Yemen defying Saudi Arabia, and made a group of men did not have until 2003 a sense and experience in the Iraqi issue to leaders and presidents in Iraq .. How Iran dealt with the referendum ?!

The response of Iran to the Kurdish side when the province opened its referendum structure and that the region will be a good neighbor to Baghdad and cooperate with them, was her reply: "What concerns us for the territory is not to be a territory or a state as much as to be careful to the safety of its borders with us, (The Europeans, the Americans, Turkey and Iran) only move towards Baghdad, the largest Kurdish delegation that included all the Kurdish forces to Baghdad and held extensive meetings with the Iraqi government and parties Shiites and Sunnis, f The Open the Kurdish side of Baghdad frankly, but to be Kkordstan Iraqi real and Thlon problems according to the Constitution, to begin building together, or we are good neighbors you and collaborators, and the response that was not anticipated by the Kurdish is: "Vamsak good, or layoffs with kindness."

This is what was accepted by the Kurdish side as an acceptance of the idea of the referendum, especially after it was followed by clear statements that do not accept the interpretation of senior Iraqi officials; Qais al-Khazali Mahmoud al-Mashhadani Ibrahim al-Jaafari, and Nuri al-Maliki also preceded them that it is the right of Kurdistan Iraq to be a state !! He even described Khazali Kurd Iraq as basically not Iraqis, even Haider Abadi himself said that the hands of the Confederacy project with Kurdistan !! What does the confederation mean if it is not a union between two states?As for the province entered the stage of publicity for the referendum, and the referendum became a popular case, Massoud Barzani to the top of the scene where the crowd rallies for him wherever it goes east and west to the north and south, even Sulaymaniyah known for its fierce opposition to Barzani's directions came out in his reception .. America, France, Britain, Turkey, Iran, Baghdad ..) Rkidin towards Erbil to persuade Barzani to withdraw from the referendum !! This is my opinion of the night!

It was never possible to retreat Barzani from the referendum after it became a public case, and he was looking at the visitors for a straw holding it to save himself and the region from the tsunami referendum, was asking them an alternative, unfortunately did not deliver it as promised .. Then Barzani wanted to be politically It was also announced days before the referendum that Baghdad wants to get worse in the region, and that when it ends a war, and if it knew that it would retain a territory Kurdistan with its gains granted to it by the Iraqi constitution, for what I do But he has the certainty that Baghdad will work to change the constitution and remove all that came in it, giving the region its current powers. Barzani, before others, knew that the referendum was not a picnic, but the most difficult step they would take, but at the same time he was saying: History and so far signed without asking the Kurds state and did not submit to the referendum .. Killed hundreds of thousands of them and displaced millions and destroyed cities and villages and they did not submit to the referendum step .. Let what be done in the future as a result of the request of the state, to let the world know that there is a people fighting because Country..".

In the end, the referendum proved that it is not for the Kurds other than the same .. This is if he wanted .. because in the referendum it appeared that the Kurds do not even have the same .. !!The evidence is what happened in Kirkuk on October 16th.

Neither America nor Britain nor France were sincere with them.

Neither Turkey nor Iran were honest.

As for Baghdad, there is nothing wrong.

And Israel, if the Kurds knew the truth, they never thought that Israel could support them.

The road is simple and uncomplicated is that the Kurds are united;
