Kurdistan Cannot Remain Silent in Face of Ongoing Violations of Its Rights: KRG

The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) cannot remain silent in the face of continued violations of its constitutional rights and financial entitlements, spokesperson Peshawa Hawramani says.

"Recently, the Kurdistan Regional Government demonstrated its goodwill to reach an agreement with the federal government. We have fulfilled all our duties and responsibilities. If this situation persists, we cannot be silent in the face of the constitutional rights of the people of the Kurdistan Region getting violated," Hawramani said in a statement on Saturday.

The federal government was supposed to send the Kurdistan Region its financial entitlements last week. The payment has now been delayed again, contrary to bilateral agreements, Hawramani added.

A KRG delegation is expected to return to Baghdad to meet with federal authorities to push for a lasting solution to these recurring budgetary issues.

In recent months, the Region has encountered challenges in ensuring timely salary payments to its civil servants. These difficulties have mainly arisen from budget disputes with Baghdad and the halt in its crude exports since March of this year.

Erbil is actively seeking long-term solutions to address these ongoing issues in its relationship with Baghdad while upholding the country's constitution and honoring existing agreements between the two parties.
