The Kurdish people have won the moral argument — the world should embrace our independence

2017-10-18 · English · CNN, archived by Kurdish Institute of Paris

A major international primary source: an opinion article authored by Kosrat Rasul Ali and published by CNN on 18 October 2017, immediately after the Kirkuk crisis. He argues for Kurdish independence and describes his perspective on Iraq and Kurdish security.

This article should be treated as a primary source for Kosrat Rasul's own political position, not as neutral reporting. Published under his name by CNN, it sets out his argument for Kurdish statehood in the immediate aftermath of the referendum and Kirkuk events. It is especially important because it records his views in his own words for an international audience at a critical historical moment.
