We also emphasized the importance of enhancing cooperation and coordination between Türkiye and the Kurdistan Region in the areas of trade, oil, electricity supply and energy in general.
In my meeting with the Minister of National Defense of Türkiye, Yaşar Güler, we exchanged views on the situation in the Kurdistan Region, Iraq, and the wider region.
We stressed the importance of safeguarding the security and stability of the Kurdistan Region, Iraq, and the broader region, and underscored the need to de-escalate tensions across the Middle East.
I had a productive meeting with Foreign Minister @HakanFidan on the developments affecting the region. We also discussed the ongoing efforts to form the new federal cabinet in Iraq.
We further emphasized the importance of implementing the Development Road project and connecting the Gulf countries, Iraq, and the Kurdistan Region with Türkiye and Europe through a railway network.
I am pleased to meet with President @RTErdogan at the Dolmabahçe Palace in Istanbul. We emphasized the importance of strengthening relations between Türkiye and the Kurdistan Region.
We also discussed efforts to form a new federal cabinet. We both hoped that the new federal cabinet will promote peace and stability in Iraq, serve all communities without discrimination, and resolve issues between the Kurdistan Region and the federal government on the basis of the Constitution.
On the peace process and the disarmament of the PKK, I reiterated my support for the process, and we stressed the importance of continuing the efforts to ensure its success and completion.
⏹️President Masoud Barzani congratulated Ezidis on their New Year, wishing them happiness, stability, and well-being. He affirmed that Ezidis are an integral part of Kurdistan and pledged continued support for their rights and needs.
I hope the ceasefire between the United States and Iran will hold, paving the way for lasting stability and peace in the region.
I thank all those who stood by us and helped to protect the Kurdistan Region. The attacks on Kurdistan were never justified. I hope all attacks on civilians, the Peshmerga, critical infrastructure and diplomatic missions will now end.
The Kurdistan Region is ready to support efforts that preserve de-escalation and build on this momentum toward lasting peace across the region.
I condemn and denounce in the strongest terms the cowardly drone attack on the residence of @IKRPresident Nechirvan Barzani in Duhok. Once again, we call on the federal government to act on its responsibility, bring these outlaw criminals to justice, and curb the continued terrorist attacks carried out by these groups.
I also call on the international community and our friends to support the Kurdistan Region in protecting its citizens and safeguarding the interests of the Kurdistan Region.
We reserve every right to confront these terrorists, and we will take whatever steps are necessary to protect the Kurdistan Region.
