Kurdistan Region Christians denounce Iraqi Federal Supreme Court’s ruling

ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – The representatives of the Kurdistan Region Christians on Friday in a press conference denounced the Iraqi Federal Supreme Court’s ruling of removing quota seats from the Kurdistan Region parliament.

“We have become victims of the political conflict between the Kurdish parties,” they stated in the presser.

They noted that the Federal Court's ruling was unfair and infringed on communities' rights.

Furthermore, the Christians demand their rights be restored and declare: "We will not remain silent and urge the international community to take action."

On Feb. 21, the Federal Supreme Court of Iraq ruled to decrease the Kurdistan Region parliament seats from 111 to 100. Those eleven seats were dedicated to Kurdistan Region minorities.
