KTP Supports PUK, Advocates Unity in Disputed Areas
P.U.K 02:06 PM - 2023-07-18Rizgar Haji Hama and Bekas Qadir.
The Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) is willing to unite
with other parties for Kirkuk and the disputed areas, and it is persistently
attempting to meet with the Kurds in order to run on a single list in the Iraqi
provincial elections. A member of the PUK Political Bureau stated, "Even
if the PUK wins, we will all lose if the Kurds do not win."
Rizgar Haji Hama, a member of the PUK Political Bureau and
the head of the PUK Election Agency, stated at a press conference following a
meeting with the Kurdistan Toilers' Party (KTP) in Erbil, "We want to put
the Kurds in the lead by having all Kurdish forces and parties in the disputed
areas run on the same list."
We need to be unified for the upcoming elections and have a
common list, he continued, so that we can be formidable against our opponents.
"Party unity will increase Kurdish seats and votes, and
as the PUK, we are ready to provide all assistance and support to serve all
regions and not waste Kurdish votes because the Kurdish people have made many
sacrifices for the disputed areas, as have all political forces and
parties," he said.
"All of our achievements and sacrifices cannot be
undone because a political party refuses to unite; we cannot hand over these
areas to other communities because of Kurdish disputes," he added.
"If other communities gain more seats than the Kurds, they will take power
in these areas, and any political force or party that does not support Kurdish
unity is clearly wishing to hand these areas back to the Arab community and
other parties."
"We are confident of the PUK's victory, but even if we
win, if the Kurds do not have more than nine seats in these areas, we have all
lost," he said. It is crucial that we decide in a spirit of unity and
brotherhood.
Bekas Qadir, a member of the KTP Political Bureau, stated,
"We agree with the PUK that the Kurds should be united for the provincial
elections in the disputed areas, because if we are not, we will lose a lot of votes,
giving the other side an advantage."
"As the KTP, our top priority is to unite the Kurds in
disputed areas, as we believe that if we do not, the Kurdish voice in those
regions will be fragmented," Qadir explained.
