The presidency underscored that there are no justifications for these attacks, which will only lead to further tensions and destabilization of Iraq, and threaten its highest national interests.
“It is important to take the continuation of these attacks seriously. The Kurdistan Region and Iraq’s Federal Government must strengthen coordination and cooperation, with the support of the International Coalition, in order to confront the groups that are behind such attacks.”
“These groups must be prevented from jeopardizing the peace and stability of the country,” the presidency added. (ILKHA)
