The leader of the Iraqi Kurdistan Democratic Party (IKDP), Mesut Barzani, has asserted that Turkey is following an "aggressive policy" in terms of its stance on the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk. While noting that despite its Kurdish majority, Kirkuk would represent symbolically the brotherhood of Kurds, Arabs, and Turkmeni living in Iraq, Barzani also added:
"This stance of Turkey's is not important for us. These outburts are just election propoganda, aimed at domestic policy. There is absolutely no side of this propoganda which is acceptable to us. We do not take it seriously."
