Kurdistan Regional Government Rejects Amendments in Iraqi Parliament as Violation of Constitution and Kurdish Rights

In a strongly worded statement issued on Friday, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) firmly rejected the amendments introduced by certain members of the Finance Committee in the Iraqi Parliament, asserting that these amendments were in direct violation of the constitution and undermined the agreement previously reached between the KRG and the Federal Government of Iraq.

The KRG's statement highlighted that these amendments ran counter to the principles outlined in the government formation and the cabinet program, which had received majority support in the Iraqi Parliament. The KRG expressed its concern that these measures infringed upon the rights of the Kurdish people, labeling them as oppressive.

"We are resolute in adhering only to the agreement previously reached with Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' Al-Sudani's government and will not accommodate any other alternative arrangement," the KRG stated firmly, indicating its unwavering commitment to the existing agreement.

The KRG's rejection of the amendments signifies a significant setback to the relationship between the Kurdistan Region and the Federal Government of Iraq, raising concerns about potential implications for the country's stability and unity. The statement underscores the urgent need for dialogue and constructive engagement to address the concerns of all parties involved and reach a peaceful resolution.

As this situation continues to unfold, it is essential for all parties to uphold the principles of the constitution and work towards a resolution that safeguards the rights and interests of all Iraqi citizens, including those residing in the Kurdistan Region.
