Qubad Talabani and Mark Stroh

Qubad Talabani, Deputy Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region, met with U.S. Consul General Mark Stroh and discussed several issues of mutual interest.

Mr. Stroh expressed his country's condolences to the Kurdistan Region's government and citizens during a meeting in Erbil on Tuesday following the attack on the city on Monday night.

In this context, Talabani stated that there is no longer any justification for violating the sovereignty of the Kurdistan Region and Iraq. "Attacks like this exacerbate tensions and endanger regional stability," he added.

The Deputy Prime Minister condemned the attack, saying: "Kurdistan's political forces must unite to put an end to these attacks and violations."

He urged the two governments to work together and take all necessary steps to preserve Iraqi and Kurdish sovereignty.

Talabani stated: "Any neighboring nation with concerns should work to address them through dialogue and diplomacy rather than going to war and bombing the Region's territory."
