The Role of Kurds in the New Iraq

Iraq's future depends on its abilities to build a nation that respects the rights and liberties of its citizens while also ensuring Iraq becomes a peaceful partner to its neighbors in a region known for instability. Key to these challenges is the Kurdistan federal region of Iraq, where historical dynamics exert tremendous energy both inside Iraq, and with Iraq's neighbor, Turkey. How all parties cope with these challenges is fundamental to Iraq's future. Please join us when Deputy Prime Minister Omar Fatah shares his thoughts with the public at this event.
