PUK Politburo Executive Aso Mamand.

An Executive of the Political Bureau of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) commented on the recent events in Kirkuk, stating, "These problems are occurring at a bad time, and we condemn these tensions," and that a headquarters is not worth tensions between Kurds and Arab. 
 
In a Kurdsat TV broadcast, Aso Mamand, Executive of the PUK Political Bureau, said: "Unfortunately, a dispute over a Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) headquarters in Kirkuk sparked protests, which we have been attempting to resolve for several days but have unfortunately resulted in martyrs and injured today."

He stated: "We are working to find a solution with the central government so that this conflict ends and the people of Kirkuk do not suffer."

"We will make every effort to reduce tension in Kirkuk because no place or headquarters is worth the blood of a Kurdish child," he added. "Unfortunately, one party is working to instill hatred and kill innocent people." These are all examples of media backlash for electoral campaigns.

"I urge the security forces and Iraqi parties to resolve this issue as soon as possible, or we will take a tough stance," he warned.
