Kurdistan Region President Welcomes New UK Ambassador to Iraq
The President and the UK Ambassador exchanged views on the fight against the ISIS terrorists, both in Iraq and in Syrian, particularly the efforts by the Peshmerga forces and the coalition air strikes that have started targeting ISIS positions in Syria. They both agreed that there should be no safe haven for ISIS terrorists neither in Iraq, nor in Syria. They also emphasized that military confrontation is not enough, and that political and other means must also be pursued to defeating the terrorists.
President Barzani said that a distinction must be made between individuals and groups in who have supported ISIS and have committed crimes, with others w who only happened to reside in areas taken by ISIS and have not committed any crimes.
