During the event, Mr. Jawhar told Kurdistan24 that, “in the capital of coexistence, Erbil, Muslims, Christians, Kakeyis, and Yazidis have prepared this fast-breaking evening meal together to show the strong sense of brotherhood between them.”

Mr. Jawhar indicated that Kurdistan Region belongs to all its communities and “together shall make it stronger.” He also pointed out the importance of the statement released earlier by Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP).

Regarding the KDP’s statement, Mr. Jawhar highlighted that, “the statement conveys message of freedom to the world, and declares the Federal Court’s decision as unconstitutional, illegal, and a system that lacks legitimacy.”

He clarified that any election, conducted on the basis of the imposed law by the Federal Court, is unconstitutional and ultimately unjust.

“KDP has protected the grandeur of democratic institutions, Kurdistan’s coexistence, freedom and the rights of all communities of the Kurdistan Region,” Jawhar maintained.

On March 18, 2024, the KDP Political Bureau issued a statement addressing Iraq's current situation, Erbil-Baghdad relations, Kurdistan's parliamentary elections, and Federal Court decisions.
