"So far, we have had many meetings and meetings on these issues, with US officials in the White House and others, including a special meeting with Herbert McMaster, the US national security adviser, and there have been several meetings at the US State Department, and there will be other meetings with Members of the Senate and House of Representatives ».

On the substance of his meetings with US officials, the adviser of the Security Council of the Kurdistan Region: «First of all, we discussed the general situation in the Kurdistan Region, and our relations with Baghdad formed a major part of those talks, and we told them that the Kurdistan Region has done what is on the shoulders, Iraqi and all its materials, and we stressed that it is necessary to implement the Iraqi government duties, especially with regard to sending salaries of employees of the Kurdistan Region and the opening of airports in the region ».

The dialogues and meetings that took place between the officials of Erbil and Baghdad have no tangible results on the ground, with regard to resolving the existing problems and lifting the punitive measures imposed by the Iraqi government on the territory after the referendum.

"The referendum was an expression of a nation about its future options for living and how it wants to live," Barzani said. "This does not mean that we are not realistic, or that we are not. "We believed that the referendum would cut the way for the unjust attacks that the Kurdistan Region was subjected to," he added. "We needed international guarantees to stop the bloodshed and disasters that have been solved by the Kurdish people for decades. Unfortunately the order was interpreted differently, and we are s Lighter that this interpretation was intended, it was always there are efforts to reduce the powers of the territory of the Kurdistan Region, and to this end have taken the referendum as a pretext, otherwise what was the referendum process to cause any form unjust attack on this level on the Kurdistan Region ».
