Karwan Salhi – Kirkuk Now

And the international and arab media shows only shias and sunnis as victims, but the Kurds are the biggest vigtims before and after the Iraq war. Look at Diyala, Ninawa and Kirkuk, every bomb is against Kurds. Thousands of Kurds die and thousand kurdish families have been forced to leave their homes before and after 2003.

The only diffrent is that before 2003 the Regime kill Kurds and now Terrorists with the backing of the iraqi government kill Kurds.

The genocide and arabisation in this areas will continue if this area will not return to Kurdistan. We have not much time, because one day this area will be completely Arabized.

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region -- Following days of tension between Kurdish and Iraqi armed forces close to the Syrian border, a peaceful solution might have emerged.

Discussions have turned to activating a joint committee that would coordinate the movement of Kurdish and Iraqi troops in the so-called disputed territories.

Shwan Taha, a Kurdish lawmaker in Iraqi Parliament, said the committee’s role has been weakened since the departure of U.S. troops late last year.

Calling the advancement of the Iraqi army units toward areas that have been under Kurdish control since 2003 a “violation,” Taha added that “it is expected that in the coming days the problem will be resolved.”

Thousands of Iraqi troops tried to cross Kurdish lines in and around the district of Zumar in northwest Nineveh province last Friday, but were blocked by Kurdish Peshmerga forces.

A tense standoff followed, sparking fears that a military conflict between the two sides might break out at any moment. Kurdish forces threatened to respond with force to any attempts by Iraqi troops to move into areas under their control.

Zumar is one of the “disputed territories” that both Kurds and the Iraqi government lay claim to. The majority of the population in the district is Kurdish.

The Iraqi government said troops were dispatched to control the border with Syria where the ongoing battle between armed rebels and President Bashar al-Assad’s army is taking place.

But Kurds suspected the deployment of forces was meant to assist Assad’s regime, and part of a larger plan to gradually take the “disputed territories” out of Kurdish control.

In a meeting yesterday between the heads of parliamentary blocs in Iraqi Parliament and Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, MPs asked the PM to resolve disputes with the Kurdish government through dialogue.
