While others stressed, the importance of building the foundations of economic, political, social and institutional, as well as ensuring support for a number of major countries of the Kurdish state and protect it from external threats, and this requires action both externally and internally, stressing the lack of the possibility of building a state not recognized by the world, but an active civilian called leaders of the region to solve the problems of the region first and think and work seriously for the declaration of the province within the confederation with Iraq.

He added: "Maybe that Kurdish leaders have not agreed on the date of the announcement, and may have been postponing it for a certain period, but we are sure that this will be announced soon, because the conditions of domestic and international event there is a significant development within the region economically and politically, and today we have state institutions are real and there is also international support to us the existence of Consulates the major countries in the region."

The news circulated about the intention of the leadership of the Kurdistan region of announcement date for a referendum on (the right to self-determination for the people of Kurdistan) during the celebrations of Nowruz festival, at the time traded Kurdish news websites for important and decisive step for the people of Kurdistan.

As said Schwan Mohammed (38 years) from Arbil, the "declaration of a Kurdish state dream is our in decades, and wait for his announcement for years eagerly, and even if far away, we feel its inevitability, but should the provincial government and Kurdish forces to establish the infrastructure of state institutions as well as for a review of the exploitation of natural resources and the development of agriculture, industry, and adjust the economic side Bmahorh all."

He explained: "If you said the Kurds in Kurdistan State, can rely on oil in the beginning, as happened in South Sudan, and then rely on the national industry and agriculture, but must secure the resources to export oil," pointing out that "our fathers dreamed of this day but I expect We shall see, inevitably, being a natural and legitimate right of the people suffered much injustice and oppression, and there are regional and international conditions appropriate to achieve that."

But Noureddine Osman, who lives in Sulaymaniyah, one of the Ahal Kirkuk, believes that "the modern state early as long as Kirkuk and many other areas are no longer to the region," noting that "a declaration of the state is a natural right can not be waived, but must resolve the problem of land withheld, there is Hundreds of thousands of Kurds are looking to connect their areas of the province before the talk about the state of part of the territory of the province only."

As said Muhammad Khurshid (44 years) from the province of Dahuk, to "declaration of a Kurdish state is the biggest hopes of the Kurds, and many young people were expecting his announcement at the festival Nowruz motivated enthusiastic nationalism, but at the moment it is difficult to achieve for many reasons, the first of the positions of Turkey and Iran, which can intervene militarily, and the other hand, we rely primarily on the basis of the two countries provide all the necessities of life in the region needs, whether agricultural or industrial, can not run the risk that the leadership of the province."

"The speeches of the Kurdish leaders on the occasion of festival Newroz (Kurdish regional president Massoud Barzani, the Secretary General of the Patriotic Union of Jalal Talabani and Nawshirwan Mustafa, leader of the MDC) has been the emphasis on self-determination and the construction of a Kurdish state, but the back of the variation evident in the attitudes and visions of the public on what it takes so , Vzeim MDC select five bases is not currently available on the Kurds work to be guaranteed by the declaration of the state, linking with Barzani is the position of the Iraqi government partnership in the making within Iraq."

He called Khurshid leaders of the province "to build the foundations of economic, political, social, institutional, and restore areas withheld (Kirkuk, Sinjar, the Nineveh Plain and Khanaqin) of the region, as well as ensuring the approval and backing of a number of major countries in the world to support those state and protect it from external threats, because it can not build a state not recognized by the world, "stressing that" the challenge is not to declare the state, but to preserve them and make them strong unified state capable of progress and service of its citizens and improve their situation."

For his part, said Hiwa age (torrid) from Sulaimaniya, said that "international circumstances and regional as well as in Iraq is better than ever before to declare a Kurdish state, but must be on the Kurdish forces of autism and the inner workings of the joint and an end to their differences and caution being trapped enemies and no one wants the best for our people.".

He added: "Previously we were fighting the system and one which the Baath Party, but today we face and fight different systems and diverse, so you must calculate all the possibilities for the declaration of the state, and before that should strengthen the Interior and the unification of the region and build its institutions, and then we can say that the announcement of shouting inevitable, whether by the President Massoud Barzani, Jalal Talabani or President, or anyone else in the future."

The head of the Kurdistan region, Massoud Barzani, who heads the appointed time, the Kurdistan Democratic Party, has warned in a speech during celebrations of Eid Nowruz on Tuesday (20/3) that Iraq "is moving towards the abyss" because of the policies of some parties, criticizing severely Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki accused exclusivity him to power, indicating that the persistence of things in this way will push them to the people to go about making his decision, referring to the right of self-determination and declaration of a Kurdish state.

But Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, who heads the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), a second party in the partnership the Kurds by the Kurdistan Alliance with the National Alliance for the management of the government in Baghdad, said in his speech, by the way, that of the Kurdish people is an important part of Iraq and the more the development of Iraq and flourished, that the interest of the Kurds and the success of reflected in the Kurdistan region, calling for work to install democracy in Iraq and the success of his experience and make the Nowruz feast of reconciliation between the various forces and strengthen the ranks of the participants, whether in government or non-participants.

According to Muhammad Amir (41 years), activities of civil society, that the "Kurds ready to make more sacrifices for declaration of the state, conditions are in the beginning will be very difficult with the lack of economic structure, agricultural, industrial and the presence of two enemies (Iran and Turkey) as well as the lack of port maritime of the Kurds to export their oil, "noting that" the first years of independence would be cruel and Kurdish families to afford not received salaries for months at a time that about 70% of the population of the region dependent on the salaries offered by the state."

He went on Prince of the Kurdish leaders to "study all the possibilities and not to be drawn behind the emotions and feelings of nationalism, and rebuild the economy and institutions and to ensure internal unity, there are practically two governments to now in the province and there are more than leadership, and deep differences between power and opposition, and must resolve all these things and agree on goals the Great."

He called Prince of the Kurdish leaders to a "declaration of independence, but stay within a confederation with Iraq," noting "the possibility of an agreement with the Iraqi government to move across to persuade the leaders of the National Alliance, this solution is better than separation,"

noting that the step "that could prevent any reactions strong against the state's fledgling The agreement with Iraq to export oil through the territory of Iraqi Kurdistan as to ensure a good life for the children of Confederate declared."

And the imposition of British colonialism and international alliances after World War I division of Kurdistan and the Kurdish people between the four countries are Iraq, Turkey, Iran and Syria, and the struggle of the Kurds in all these countries for decades for the right to self-determination,

according to statistics, the number of Kurds in the world exceeds 40 million, and this people aspire to live in one country, one government.

And won the Kurdistan region a kind of complete independence from the authority of Baghdad after the 1991 uprising against the government of the Baath Party, which ruled Iraq time, but there is still Kurdish areas not subject to the authority of the provincial government, including the province of Kirkuk and parts of Sinjar and Khanaqin predominantly Kurdish and claimed by the Kurds annexed to the province.

The Kurdish regional president Massoud Barzani in a televised speech on the occasion of festival Nowruz, provoked mixed reactions, the Kurdistan Region is exposed again to the plans and attacks by predators, but the Kurds are united when there are threats to their security and their future, alas, appeared just a few of the people turning their backs for years and Insunha, because they have forgotten what the Kurds by them when Kurdistan was a haven for the persecuted and the oppressed and those few which imposes itself by force today in Baghdad.

The Barzani to the presence of a major crisis in Iraq should be solved, and said: "It is time that we say it enough, because Iraq is moving towards the abyss, and that a small group on the verge of dragging Iraq toward dictatorship, Iraq is experiencing a serious crisis, and the time such a situation is unacceptable to us at all, "calling on the leaders of parties and Iraqi political parties to" stimuli of the situation and sit down together to develop mechanisms and to accelerate the solution to this situation and deal in a very short period, otherwise we will go to our people, and then will make our final decision."

The Barzani that the dispute with Baghdad focused on several themes, including "partnership Kurds and Arabs in power, the partnership now no longer have any meaning, and commitment to the Constitution that is being violated, and the neglect and failure to implement agreements Erbil upon arrival to power, as well as the dispute over Kirkuk and other disputed territories , and the issue of the Peshmerga, and the issue of oil and gas."

The face of the Barzani in his speech, criticism directly to Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, accusing him of trying to control all aspects of the state, saying: "The other point of contention concerning the composition of the army two million have loyalty to one person, how may that brings together people in his hands positions of the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces and Minister of Defense and Minister of the Interior, the intelligence chief and head of the National Security Council?".
