The statement released today (2 December) on behalf of the “Office of the Spokesperson for Barzani Headquarters” targeting Mr. Devlet Bahçeli, Chairman of the Nationalist Movement Party, is unacceptable with regard to both substance and the language used.

The KDP leadership has been called upon to provide clarification concerning this disrespectful and provocative statement, which contains baseless allegations, and to take immediate action against those responsible.
