Kurdistan 01:33 PM - 2023-07-11Fahmi Burhan, chairman of the General Board of Kurdistani Areas Outside the Region.
The General Board of Kurdistani Areas Outside the Kurdistan Region visited Baghdad to resolve the farmers' and Article 140 issues concerning the disputed areas and conducted a press conference upon their return.
Fahmi Burhan, Chairman of the General Board of Kurdistani Areas Outside the Region, declared at a press conference: "We discussed Article 140 and the concerns of Kurdish farmers with Iraqi officials, and we requested that the Iraqi army refrain from intervening with farmers' issues in the disputed areas."
"These issues are complex, and we have no choice but to address them," he said.
"We have requested cooperative work with all Kurdistan Region institutions to unite and work on the implementation of the resolutions that have not yet been executed in an official letter to the prime minister and deputy prime minister," he continued.
Additionally, he stated that the Iraqi Minister of Agriculture had issued a decree activating the Article 140 committee, which is a significant step, and that they would continue to keep an eye on its execution because it would resolve all the issues farmers were having.
Resettled Arabs who refuse to give up lands granted to them by Iraq's former Ba'ath regime occasionally attack Kurdish and Turkmen farmers in Kirkuk and other disputed territories between Erbil and Baghdad and seize their land. Article 140 of the Iraqi Constitution was written primarily to settle the territorial dispute between Erbil and Baghdad. The former Iraqi Ba'ath regime made significant efforts to Arabize the people of Diyala, Kirkuk, Nineveh, and Saladin, which resulted in these disagreements.
