Kosrat Rasul: The referendum was one of the happiest historic days of my life

2022-09-25 ยท Sorani ยท Zamen Press

A Sorani report reproducing Kosrat Rasul's reflections on the fifth anniversary of the 2017 referendum. He describes the vote as a source of pride and discusses his responsibility for supervising the referendum in Kirkuk and other disputed Kurdish areas.

The report is useful primarily as a record of Kosrat Rasul's own retrospective position. It quotes his anniversary statement describing the referendum as belonging to the people of Kurdistan and recalling his responsibility for supervising the process in Kirkuk and other Kurdistani areas. It should be read as a primary political statement rather than an independent assessment of the referendum.
