Noth­ing new in this inter­view with Barazani on Jor­dan­ian news­pa­per Al-Arab Al-Youm, he expressed his doubts about the Turk­ish inten­tions are they here to fight the PKK or to destroy Kurdistan’s infra­struc­ture, he also repeated the U.S. pro­pa­ganda data and num­bers about the vic­tims of Al-Anfal and Halabja.

On Al-Arab Online his rival Sheikh Jawhar Al-Herki Sec­re­tary Gen­eral of Kur­dis­tan Free­dom and Jus­tice Party, says:

The Iran­ian army attacked Hal­abja with chem­i­cal weapons, if Sad­dam Hus­sein did then why they [Tal­a­bani and Barazani] nego­ti­ated with him for four months after the attack and kissed his hands.

Aggres­sive attack on Tal­a­bani in arti­cle pub­lished on Al-Hayat today by Yousuf Ziad [PKK’s Media offi­cial] called “Tal­a­bani engi­neered the Turk­ish incur­sion of Iraqi Kurdistan”.

The writer accuses Tal­a­bani on ally­ing and coop­er­at­ing with the Turks against the PKK.

Tal­a­bani was always the tro­jan horse in the Kur­dish nation­al­ist move­ment, he always kept ties with the Turk­ish pow­er­ful par­ties as well as the rela­tions the for­mer Iraqi regime, and the Syr­ian and Iran­ian regime, even at the time when they were heav­ily attack­ing and per­se­cut­ing the Kurds.

On 16–02-’08, he secretly met with the Turk­ish mil­i­tary Chief of Staff they learned that they agreed on the fol­low­ing points:

1 — Sup­port Ground Turk­ish incursion.

2 — The for­ma­tion of a joint coor­di­na­tion com­mit­tee between “Zaan­yare” (Talabani’s intelligence)and the Turk­ish mil­i­tary intel­li­gence to con­front PKK.

3 — Desert­ers from prior peri­ods, will be handed over to the Turks, to show that they are just escaped from the fight.

4 — Tal­a­bani called for cre­at­ing a buffer zone.
