PUK (Patriotic Union of Kurdistan) President Bafil Jalal Talabani gave important messages during the election rally in Duhok on Monday.

Talking about the unity of Kurdistan, Talabani addressed Barzanis; “When was the last time you talked about the unity of Kurdistan? You sold out the Yazidis, you harmed them. Isn’t this dishonourable?”

Talabani said, “400 of our villages have been evacuated, the invaders occupy our lands every day in co-operation with you. Is this the Kurdish identity?”

Bafil Talabani also stated that he had met with Masoud Barzani a few years ago and that he had made a special request for him to meet with his friend Mazlum Abdî, and that Barzani did not agree to this.

At the end of his speech, Talabani said: “The aim was to prevent such incidents. We wanted to create a peace process with our brothers and sisters in Syria and Qandil, but you did not allow it. What is happening today is the result of this.”
