KURDS ARE ATTEMPTING TO DE FACTO ANNEX THE SO-CALLED ‘DISPUTED TERRITORIES’ IN NORTHERN IRAQ TO THEIR AUTONOMOUS KURDISH REGION – THIS IS CALLED LAND-GRABBING!

 

 

PRESS RELEASE – by Turkmen Rescue Foundation media office

We would like to inform you about ongoing Kurdish attempts to kurdify all the turkmen lands:

– the Kurdish  parties, started since months to draw the borders of the ‘Kurdistan region’ in northern Iraq by digging a 3 meter deep trench.

– The trench starts from Rabi’aa in  Mosul near  the Syrian border  and ends in Jalula district – Diyala province at the Iraqi -Iranian border.

– This project is implemented with the support of international experts and it draws a border of new KRG through the GPS and it includes the ‘disputed areas’  in Article 140 of the Constitution.

– the operation is illegal because in 2013 the Regional Kirkuk  Council’s decision to a build a trench surrounding  Kirkuk province to protect the city from terrorist attacks, was refused by Iraqi Government at that time.

– It is important to note that the areas that fall within this border are beyond the control of the Iraqi government and the Iraqi army as well as Hashd al Shaabi.

– All Turkmen lands are situated within these borders.
