Baghdad The Ministry of Interior in the Kurdistan Regional Government has clarified its position on the normalization meeting.

It said in a statement: A civil society organization held a workshop in Erbil for several personalities from some governorates of Iraq to work on the concepts of coexistence and the application of the foundations of federalism in Iraq in the light of the permanent Iraqi constitution.

It added: Unfortunately, some of the supervisors of this activity deviated this workshop from its objectives and used it for political purposes in a way that it was far from the conditions for granting licenses to set up such workshops.

It indicated: During this activity, words and statements were made that did not in any way coincide with the official policy of the Kurdistan Regional Government and do not reflect the policy of the region.

It continued: On this basis, the Ministry of Interior will take legal measures against the people who distorted the course of this meeting, and penalties will be imposed against violators, whoever they are.

The Ministry expressed the commitment of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, as a constitutional entity and within the framework of a federal Iraq, always to the official foreign policy of the Iraqi state and never to allow the freedom and democracy prevailing in it to be exploited for other political intentions and purposes, and that people who did so will be excluded and will not have a foothold in the region Kurdistan, according to the statement.
