Members of civil organizations in the Kurdistan region demonstrated on Tuesday in front of the Iraqi parliament’s office in Arbil and presented a protest note against what they called violations by the successive Iraqi governments against the Kurdish people for bringing them to the parliament through the Kurdish parliamentarians.

The text of the Civil Society Organizations Memorandum states

In the name of of Allah the Merciful

To the Iraqi Council of Representatives

A year ago, on October 16, the Iraqi army and armed militias attacked Kirkuk and other Kurdish areas outside the Kurdistan Regional Administration, occupying half of the territory of Kurdistan and appropriating the homes and property of thousands of people. The armed forces dealt with the most violent ways with Kurdish citizens in Kirkuk and Tuzkurmatu and all other areas, this attack caused the death and injury of dozens of fighters Peshmerga Kurdistan heroine, who fought for four years a fierce war against the forces of darkness and provided thousands of victims .

This happened despite the fact that it contravenes all applicable legislation and international laws and contradicts with the Iraqi federal constitution, which is a major crime, because the Iraqi constitution prohibits the participation of the army and the armed forces in resolving any political conflict or provoking conflicts. Unfortunately, what happened was much more serious than this .

At the same time, we refer here to the Iraqi parliament the anniversary of this crime. The violations are continuing. The Iraqi government has begun by various means to expel the administrative officials in various areas. It also began the process of Arabization of these areas, In light of our sense of responsibility as civil society organizations, we call upon :

1 – End the injustice practiced against the Kurds and the campaign to dismiss the officials of the administrations, mostly Kurds in these areas .

2. The Peshmerga is an official force recognized by the Constitution, so we demand its return to Kirkuk, Sinjar and all other areas that must be managed in a joint manner .

3 – lifting the customs points set by the Iraqi government between Erbil and Kirkuk and all other areas .

4 – Compensation for all those affected by this process of occupation who looted their homes and property and the families of martyrs and wounded .

5 – Because the former Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Abadi violated the constitution and the use of the army for special purposes, and the exploitation of power against the people of Kurdistan, which resulted in the death and wounding hundreds, we demand his trial to receive his fair punishment for the use of force against the people of Kurdistan .
