Iraqi National Alliance Welcomes President Barzani’s Dialogue Initiative, Condemns Khor Mor Attack

ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – The Iraqi National Alliance has welcomed President Masoud Barzani’s initiative to promote dialogue and mutual understanding among political parties and forces in the Kurdistan Region, describing it as an important step toward resolving disputes, safeguarding constitutional rights, and strengthening Kurdish unity.

In a statement issued on Monday, the alliance stressed that political dialogue and mutual understanding should serve as the foundation for resolving disagreements, particularly amid the political and security challenges facing Iraq and the wider region.

The alliance said such an approach was essential to overcoming political differences, protecting constitutional rights, strengthening Iraq’s stability and security, and safeguarding the interests of all its components.

President Barzani earlier on Monday called on the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) to resolve their differences through dialogue, urging all political forces to work together to form a broad-based national government and end the political deadlock surrounding the Kurdistan Regional Government’s (KRG) tenth cabinet.

In a separate part of its statement, the National Alliance strongly condemned the attack on the Khor Mor gas field in the Kurdistan Region, rejecting any assault targeting economic infrastructure or threatening the region’s security and stability.

The alliance also commended the government's measures to investigate the incident, identify those responsible, and refer them to the courts to face legal consequences.

Concluding its statement, the alliance called for prioritizing the country's supreme interests and adhering to the Constitution and the rule of law, saying these principles were essential to preserving Iraq's unity and ensuring security and stability for all its people.
