Kurdistan Region Prime Minister Masrour Barzani held a meeting with a number of citizens of the Kurdistan Region in Erbil, in which he answered their questions and discussed many outstanding issues with them.

During the meeting Masrour Barzani admitted that the KRG had many shortcomings, but he insisted there have been outside forces attempting to sabotage the Region

“Some of these crises were created, partly at the local level, or rather by those whose interests were violated or who felt their interests were endangered, and that’s why they oppose our government,” Barzani noted that, “many parties outside the Kurdistan Region tried to put economic, legal and security pressure on this government so that we could not succeed in our tasks. Now I can assure you that many of these crises have passed, but we still have to face some of them with your help.”
