The co-president of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, Lahur Talabani on Wednesday met with officials and members of the bureaus and boards of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) at the Cultural Hall in the city of Sulaymaniyah.

 

In the meeting, attended by members of the PUK’s Executive Body, Politburo, and Leadership Council, the co-president shed light on the general situation, the latest developments and changes in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region on all levels.

 

Talabani discussed the endeavors and steps they have taken since the party’s Congress to better serve the people and relayed that the holding of the fourth Congress was a major turning point in the political life of the PUK.

 

PUK's co-president thanked the old cadres who, due to their patience and their presence in the arena, held a successful Congress event.

 

At the same time, he highlighted the duties the PUK currently bears on its shoulders and emphasized that the PUK is a party that is farsighted and looks at the issues and events in a realistic way and considers the high interests of the people, and puts them in the front line, which is why members of the bureaus, boards, organizations, and all the cadres must be among the people to relay the vision and policies of the PUK to them so that distorted voices don’t take their attention away or try to stifle these efforts. 

 

In another part of the meeting, Lahur Talabani discussed the upcoming election and reaffirmed the importance of organization and arrangements needed to strengthen the Kurdish position in Baghdad. 

 

"The formation of the Kurdistan Coalition list between the PUK and the Goran movement is a great achievement to lay the foundation for unity and achieve the rights of the Kurdish people through parliamentary action," PUK's co-president said.

 

He reiterated that through elections PUK can make big and real changes, particularly changes in the system of governance and improving the situation that has been brought on the nation.

 

"Our insistence on reaching an agreement with the Federal Government was not only on the basis of salaries but because Baghdad is important to us. The strength of the Kurdish position within the framework of a Federal Iraq is to protect interests and achieve our national goals."

 

Talabani said, "we have participated in writing the constitution and that the majority of Kurds voted for it. That is why the constitution is a basis for solving our issues and we view it as an aid in the resolution of all the other ongoing issues, especially Kirkuk and the disputed territories."

 

He pointed to the security situation in the Kurdistan Region and Iraq and emphasized PUK's stance against internal fighting, saying that "we will not allow ourselves to be drawn into a proxy war and we will not be silent. In the future, we will make serious efforts to avoid the danger of igniting such a fight."
