The administration of Khanqin District in Iraqi Diyala province warned, on Wednesday, from the outbreak of “a major popular revolution” if the central government lowers Kurdistan Flag raised at the top of governmental buildings in the District. We already refused this demand, the administration pointed up while calling not to provoke the public opinion.
“Diyala Police Command addressed an official letter on behalf of central government ordering to lower Kurdistan Flag raised at tops of every governmental building in the district,” Khanqin local governor Mohammed Mulla Hasan told Alsumarianews. “We refuted firmly this demand in respect to the will of Khanqin District residents” he said.
“Lowering Kurdistan Flag will lead to the outbreak of a major popular revolution that could cause major complications in the District,” Hassan warned. “Iraqi and Kurdistan flags are raised at the top of governmental buildings in the district because they both mirror Iraq’s image,” he pointed up.
“This issue is very sensitive and raising it generates a state of distrust between Kurds and Baghdad,” Hassan added while calling Iraqi politicians not to provoke the public opinion.
Armed Forces General Commander, Nuri Al Maliki, ordered local authorities in Khanqin District on Tuesday to lower Kurdistan Flag raised at tops of governmental buildings, declared head of Diyala provincial council Taleb Mohammed. Security forces had visited Khanqin District earlier and reported about having seen Kurdistan’s flag raised at tops of police stations and official directorates, he said.
Khanqin District and related regions are Kurdish territories, stressed Kurdistan leader Massoud Al Barazani during his visit to Khanqin on September 22.
Peshmerga forces in Jaluawla and Saadia regions are not there to parade but to defend the region, Barazani concluded.
