Roj Bash Kurdistan

Kirkuk Now

The recognition of the Turkmen as the second ethnicity as well as participating in the presidential positions are the two main conditions the Turkmen are holding to in the case of Kirkuk being recognized as part of Kurdistan, according to a Turkmen member of the Kirkuk Provincial Council.

Anthea: Fook them, they are nothing but lackies of Turkey, who were supported and armed by Turkey to help prevent Kirkuk becoming a part of Kurdistan

Najat Hussein, a member of the KPC told Kirkuk Now “The Turkmen are waiting for the Kurds, for assuring that the Turkmen be recognized as the second ethnicity in Kurdistan.”

“If the Kurds are ready to give us the high positions like presidential, prime minister or ministers, we will be willing to recognize the Kurdistan Regional Government as our government and agree for Kirkuk to be part of Kurdistan,” he added.

The Turkmen are currently the third ethnicity in Kirkuk as well as in Iraq. They were previously refusing that Kirkuk be part of Kurdistan, which is the main demand of the Kurds.

Aren't they asking for too much? They want to hold top positions in all of SK, not just Kirkuk.

Their request for a presidential position did seem a bit much

I strongly suspect that their masters in Turkey are behind this attempt to cause further unrest

They can stay in Iraq and live in poverty, they don't even make up 5% of krg.

they r not even the majority in kirkuk so y do they expect so much :l sk should be like "ok" to their agreement then lie and not even listen
