In a stepped up tone, Kurdistan Prime Minister Neshervan Barzani warned of war with Arabs if US Forces withdraw from Iraq before resolving tensed rows between Arabs and Kurds mainly Kirkuk issue.
In statements to the Associated Press, Barzani called on the US to put pressure on Baghdad Government in order to reach a final solution on Kirkuk which Arbil demands to join into its territories.
KRG PM complained about US rejection to interfere directly in order to solve Kirkuk crisis. Despite close ties with the US, “They don't care,” Barzani said.
“When we say something about protecting our people's rights, they see it as a problem, a disturbance to their Iraq policy”, he added.
Barzani noted that if it weren’t for US Forces in Kirkuk, Iraqis would have gotten into internal fighting. He urged new President Barack Obama’s administration to solve Kurdish-Arab rows before withdrawing US Forces from Iraq.
For his part, Kamal Kirkuki, deputy speaker of the regional Kurdish parliament, said Prime Minister Nuri Al Maliki is a dangerous man and they are trying to stop him.
“He is dangerous for Iraq. He is dangerous for democracy. He is a second Saddam in Iraq”, Kirkuki uttered.
The Kurds have become more concerned since Al Maliki’s list rallied the majority of votes in recent polls.
