By Roni Alasor / Lorin Sarkisian – Ararat News Publishing (ANP), Brussels - For the first time in the history, Kurdistan flag will be officially raised abroad. Approximately 40 million Kurds and Kurdistani people with different ethnic and religious mosaics have been deprived from the right to even raise their own flag, while in other parts of the world small nations or even clans have right to live in their own states and raise their national flags...
The Kurdish flag will be officially raised in the EU capital Brussels, in Belgium. The news has been confirmed to Ararat News Publishing (ANP) by Carlos Kurdi (Salim Gravi), Head of Mission of KRG to the EU.
The Kurdistani flag will be raised in front of the Mission of Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in Brussels on Thursday, 31 May. Representatives of Kurdish political parties and organisations from all part of Kurdistan will attend the ceremony.
“To raise the flag of Kurdistan in Brussels is an important step in the history of our people and one of our targets. We hope that this positive development will bring Kurds towards more freedom and independence”, said Carlos Kurdi.
The Head of KRG Mission to the EU added that “If Iraq’s current regime will develop towards dictatorship, the only solution that would remain is to call our independence, but we hope that all these processes can take place in peace and mutual understanding without any violence and war. One thing is sure, the people of Kurdistan will never accept any new dictatorship.”
Since the fall of Saddam Hussein’s regime, Kurdistan Region established diplomatic relations and open representations in many countries in Europe and in the USA. The KRG Mission to the EU in Brussels is particularly important, because of the strategic headquarters of several international institutions – the European Union, NATO and many hundred of foreign NGOs and think-tanks.
