The American contacts of the KDP-I about the Kurdish issue in Iran are in the Senate and the House of Representatives, but also the State Department. “We also try to update advisors of the White House about the developments.”
Azizi also told Rudaw that the KDP-I is ready to participate in a democratic peace process, if Iran offers this. But he said he doesn’t believe Iran is ready to give the Kurds autonomy or federalism. (Photo: Rudaw)
