Mr. Hussein absolutely declared that, "It is not the action of the Kurdistan Region to unilaterally addendum any territory.

He went on to say, "any resolution to this altercation have to crop abode through the constitutionally accustomed mechanisms of Article 140 (in the 2005 Iraqi Constitution). Gone are the canicule of an Iraq absolute by force, irresponsive to the desires and needs of its people. We apperceive that, we are committed to that, and we will see the alleged 'disputed areas' accustomed their just and acknowledged say at the polls. The borders of the Kurdistan Region will alone be set if Article 140 of the Constitution has been absolutely implemented. That is how a capitalism works - by aphorism of law, not aphorism of fist."
Hussein aswell bidding abruptness at comments issued from an American Major General on the matter, answer that endure year the axial government and affiliation armament requested added Kurdish troops be beatific to the across in catechism to basis out terrorism.
Kurdish Guard troops and Kurdish units in the Iraq Army accept been analytical in the contempo aegis assets in Iraq, with the 34th Brigade (Kurdistan Region forces) in accurate arena a analytical role in stabilizing the Diyala Province. As Mr. Hussein credibility out, "While the abundant account of these Kurdish troops to bounded communities in Baghdad is accustomed and accepted about and locally, the actual aforementioned casework rendered to the communities in Diyala are apparent as inflammatory? This is a cool position. We are in it for the acceptable of all Iraq's people. That is why these troops are in Diyala - to action agitation and assure civilians. Their attendance has annihilation to do with the political outcome, which have to be bent by the humans anxious and in the interests of those a lot of afflicted according to the Iraqi Constitution. We accept annihilation to abhorrence from such an balloter process. We have to ask, why do others assume so abashed of acceptance the Iraqi humans to exercise their autonomous rights? Are we or are we not a democracy?"
"The sacrifices the Kurdish humans and the Kurdistan Region guards accept fabricated for the new Iraq should not be forgotten. When the city-limits of Mosul was on the border of accepting overtaken by terrorists in November 2004, they (coalition armament and the axial government) asked for our advice and we responded after question. Our success in these endeavours has appear at a abundant amount for the humans of our arena and has been axiological to the aegis assets that accept adored American lives. We don't crop these sacrifices agilely and we will not acquiesce them to be in vain. The new Iraq will be based on the aphorism of law and autonomous principles."
Many accredit to areas such as Khanaqin, which is overwhelmingly Kurdish, in the Diyala province, and Kirkuk in Tamim arena as 'disputed territories' in advertence to the still changing amount of how they will be congenital into the new federal anatomy of Iraq. Most citizens in these areas would like to see them accompany the Kurdistan Regional Government, an advantage promised to them by Article 140 of the Iraqi architecture which guarantees the Iraqi humans balloter ability to actuate the final cachet of their communities aural the new administration. However apropos to these areas as 'disputed' is historically misleading, as Kurdistan Region President Masoud Barzani acicular out endure anniversary that even beneath Saddam Hussein areas like Khanaqin were not in actuality disputed, but were to be congenital into the Kurdistan Region already a final deal was brokered over Kirkuk.
The endure balloter after-effects in the areas of Diyala referred to in these statements reflect a able political amalgamation with the Kurdish Alliance List, which is the administering affiliation in allegation of active the Kurdistan Regional Government. In Khanaqin alone, 99% of the electorate in the a lot of contempo acclamation captivated in 2005 voted for Kurdish political parties. This abstracts can be acclimated to assumption the sympathies of the bounded population.
