KRG Representative Briefs European Parliament Member On Attacks Against The Kurdistan Region

ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) - Dr. Dilawer Ajgeiy, the Kurdistan Regional Government’s (KRG) representative to the European Union, briefed a member of the European Parliament on the missile and drone attacks on the Kurdistan Region.

Ajgeiy visited the parliament with a delegation and was received by Cecilia Strada, a member of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats group.

Ajgeiy reviewed the latest political, economic and security developments in the Middle East and Iraq and presented the Kurdistan Region as a main factor of stability and security in the area.

He gave a detailed account of the missile and drone attacks on the Region and described their economic consequences and loss of life.

He stressed that the Region is not part of the wars and crises but a factor of stability and security in the region, and that it will remain a place of calm and peaceful coexistence and continue its peaceful policy.

To confront these challenges, he said, it is important for the Region’s friends in the international community, especially the European Union, to give it more support.

Strada praised the Region’s role and reaffirmed her support and solidarity with the Kurdistan Regional Government and the people of Kurdistan. She said she is ready to continue supporting the Region in the European Parliament’s institutions.

The two sides also discussed several projects and plans for future joint work in the European Parliament. The meeting comes two days after the latest attack on the Khor Mor gas field, which cut most of the Region’s gas-fed electricity generation.

The KRG said earlier this year that the Region was hit by 809 drone and missile attacks between February 28 and April 20, with 20 people killed and 123 wounded, and a Kurdish outlet later reported more than 1,000 attacks and 32 killed.
