Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani said Sunday that a new delegation office of the European Union in the Kurdistan region was a “monumental step” toward closer cooperation with Erbil. In a speech at the opening ceremony, he also called on the EU to help on international recognition of a genocide against Kurdish Yazidis by the Islamic State group (ISIS), and greater military and civic help to the Kurds.
“The increase in the number of consulates and offices of foreign countries in the Kurdistan region is a positive reflection of the region’s politics toward the world,” Barzani said, in a ceremony attended by Kurdish and EU officials.
