The Kurdish movement in the eighties of the last century was in the phase of the opposition…

and we were in the mountains and the Democratic Kurdistani Party was and still raise the slogan of democracy to Iraq and federalism for Kurdistan, and we absorbed all parties, movements and people who were wanted by the former regime for their national positions which we welcomed. They have got their headquarters in Kurdistan and they were engaged in their work away from harassment and

dictations. This case continued to the year 1991, after the Kurdish people executed their glorious uprising and expelled the supporters of the ousted government from the Kurdish . We  liberated part of the Kurdish regions, which was in the grip of the former regime. In 1992 we witnessed the democratic elections of the Parliament of Kurdistan, and we went at the same time to build democratic institutions in the region to be a nucleus for the future of Iraq, which was liberated from the hands of Saddam Hussein regime. We could put the foundation stone of many institutions and organizations of civil society in Kurdistan and up to the year 2003, the Kurdish movement

with all its leftist and Islamic and democratic  parties ,had  had the role in rebuilding of the Iraqi state.  Mr. Massoud Barzani had an important role in the reunification of all political parties because the governor Paul Bremer had intended not to seek the help of parties and movements that were present on the scene before the fall of the regime, but he wanted to form an interim government while the position of Mr. Massoud Barzani based on rejection of this process from the beginning led to the establishment of the Governing Council. After the Governing Council we have tried and fought a lot for the consolidation of democracy in Iraq, and for Iraq of institutions based on democratic norms, to be the model that the peoples of the region dream of , and this prompted the territorial States to create problems and obstacles to curb democracy in Iraq, however, the Iraqis in general, as well as officials and the political parties operating in the Iraqi arena, are trying with all their efforts to continue building a democratic regime  in Iraq.
