“At present we are establishing contacts with the government of Iraqi
Kurdistan. In this connection, it cannot be ruled out that its
representative office will be opened in Armenia,” the chairman of the
Kurdistan committee in Armenia, Charkaz Mstoyan, told an Arminfo
correspondent today.

He expressed confidence that “de facto independent” Iraqi Kurdistan
will have a positive impact on the geopolitical situation around
Armenia, as well as on the Kurds’ fate all over the world.

He stressed that disagreements between the current ruling Kurdistan
Democratic Party and Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in Iraqi Kurdistan
have been resolved.

“The Kurdistan Workers’ Party has welcomed [Iraqi President Jalal]
Talabani’s government,” Mstoyan said.
