BAGHDAD / NINA / President of the Kurdistan region, Massoud Barzani, said on Sunday that self-determination is a natural right of the Kurdish people and other peoples, warning that Iraq is in front of two solutions, either the total partition or a true partnership.

Barzani said in an interview with one of the channels reported in the website of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), that the right of self-determination is not new, it is a natural right of all peoples, and the Kurdish people has this right, like any other people," explaining that he "had started preparing already for the operation of the Parliament of Kurdistan, I can not specify the time for it, but the parliament has to speed up the procedures for the formation of an independent high Commission in Kurdistan, I do not think that this issue will take a long time. "

He added that the people of Kurdistan "must be given the opportunity to decide his own fate to give a mandate to the regional parliament and the presidency, to decide later on the time and how to apply it," adding that "this process could take months or years, but it will not become an obstacle to our participation in the political process, noting that when the people of Kurdistan takes his decision, he will talk with other parties in Iraq to accomplish the subject across the understandings./ End
