KRG - Sliced off areas (disputed areas)

[alan131210]

Do you mean officially or de facto?

I googled some maps, and it seems that this is about right:

I see, still, Shekhan is among the disputed areas on the above map though.
Also, I see you've added Khanaqin among the blue ones, while I'm quite sure they're not officially part yet of Kurdistan.

Khanaqin is not official yes sorry , but they are all controlled by KRG .

[alan131210]

all of the following areas are already controlled by Peshmerga

Khanaqin , Shiekhan , Sinjar , Jalawla and Makhmoor . they are all under KRG and get thier budget from KRG

but Kirkuk is controlled by kurds and receives budget from Baghdad . we are already winners we just want 140 to make it official thats all .

In some quarters of Kirkuk, the process of returning disputed lands to ‘their original owners’ started, after a decision made by Kirkuk governor Nejmadin Karim.

The process started last week in the neighborhoods of Ts’en, Wasti, Yaki Huzairan and Baath. Najat Hasan, a member of the Turkmen list said, “the lands were given to the Arabs by the former regime, but now are being returned to the original owners.”

According to Kirkuk Now information, most of the lands belong to Turkmens, but some of the ‘transported Arabs’ also claim their ownership.

Muhamad Khidir al-Jabouri, a member of the Kirkuk Provincial Council (KPC) said, “some of the lands belong to Arabs and not Turkmens, but Turkmens claim them supported by the head of the KPC Hasan Torhan.” Al-Jabouri said that they warned Torhan to ‘stop the invasion’ but he neglected their demands.

Hasan rejected the intention of an ‘invasion’ saying, “returning these lands are the right of Turkmens and the issue is decided already. What’s going on is not an invasion, and the Kirkuk governor has decided on the issue, not the head of the KPC.”

Last week, Kirkuk Now published news about solving 87% of the disputed lands in Kirkuk city.

Salahaddin, Kurdistan Region of Iraq, President Barzani welcomed the Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Iraq (SRSG) and Head of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Ira (UNAMI), Mr. Martin Kobler to exchange views on political developments in Iraq and means of cooperation between the KRG and the UN.

Mr. Kobler, who has recently been appointed as Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Iraq, said he is in the Kurdistan Region to find out how the UN and the KRG can further cooperate, especially on outstanding issues between the KRG and the federal government. He also thanked President Barzani for his support for the UNAMI office in Erbil.

After welcoming the UN envoy, President Barzani said that the UN presence in Iraq will be a positive factor on many issues, especially after the US withdrawal by the year’s end.

Today's meeting focused on the unresolved status of Kirkuk and other disputed areas, with President Barzani reiterating that “there is no alternative to Article-140 of the Iraqi Constitution to resolve the status of Kirkuk and other disputed areas.”

Article-140 of the Iraqi Constitution defines a clear roadmap for the resolution of the status of these areas in three phases of normalization, census and referendum.

“At the end of the day, the people of these areas should have the final say on their future, and this is exactly what is called for in Article-140. Other solutions must not be imposed on the people of these areas,” elaborated President Barzani, adding that this issue cannot be left to time. “Repeated delays and prolonging the process will not lead anywhere; the issue will only become further complicated.”
