​​​​​​​ Hassan calls on Iraq to confront Turkey instead of massing forces in Shingal

 On the 25th of this April, the Iraqi army sent a large number of soldiers, accompanied by military vehicles, to Shingal and some nearby villages. It spread to fixed military bases, which angered the Yazidi community.

 Commenting on the issue, the co-chair of the Executive Council of the Democratic Autonomous Administration in Shingal, Reham Hassan, said: "Instead of the Iraqi army mobilizing its forces in the areas witnessing the attacks of the Turkish occupation in southern Kurdistan, it is mobilizing them in Shingal."

 Reham Hassan indicated that the Iraqi army is mobilizing its forces in Şengal in conjunction with the attacks of the Turkish occupation army on the legitimate defense areas.  This indicates the agreement of the Iraqi government with the Turkish occupation, and the continuity of the October 9, 2020, agreement, which was supported by Turkey.

 The Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Iraqi government had signed an agreement against Şengal on the 9th of October 2020, the day that coincides with the anniversary of the international conspiracy against the leader Abdullah Ocalan in 1998.

 'Plain sight plot'

 Hassan pointed out that this mobilization by the Iraqi government came with Turkish support, as Iraq is now witnessing a crisis.

 Adding that it is a clear conspiracy in full view of the world, "Barzani, Al-Kazemi and Al-Halbousi met with Turkey, and after these meetings they began to take their steps to implement it."

 'The AA will not back down from its project'

 Reham Hassan indicated that the goal of this mobilization is the implementation of the October 9, 2020 agreement. Whoever is addressing this agreement is the Democratic AA in Shingal, because it is an agreement that does not serve the interest of the people of Shingal. We have a project for a solution, which is the Autonomous Administration project doesn't violate the Iraqi constitution, but the Iraqi government does not abide by it. We in the autonomous administration, we will not retreat from our project because the genocides against the Yazidi people will not end.”

 And Reham Hassan continued: "During the attacks of ISIS mercenaries in 2014, the Kurdistan Democratic Party abandoned Shingal, as well the Iraqi army at the time.  There is any enmity between us and the Iraqi government, but the Iraqi government is trying to thwart this project, and this is what the  Yazidi people will not accept becaue it means a new genocide against the Yazidis.”

 The co-chair of the Executive Council of the Democratic Autonomous Administration in Shingal, Reham Hassan, concluded her speech by saying, "This crisis is not only related to Iraq or Shingal, but it is a global crisis, as we are approaching the end of the Lausanne Agreement, in 2023, so the world is witnessing a global war. If any new division occurs, it does not serve the interest of Shingal and does not serve the interest of the Iraqi government."
