The Peshmerga demand to be included under the laws and privileges of the Iraqi forces.
On Wednesday, the Chief of Staff of the Ministry of Peshmerga, Lieutenant General Issa Ozeer, discussed with the members of the Security and Defense Committee in the Iraqi Parliament, Sherwan Dubardani and Chiman Barzani, the inclusion of the Peshmerga forces in the laws and privileges specific to the Iraqi security forces.
The Ministry of Peshmerga stated in a statement received by Shafaq News Agency that the meeting, which was held at the Ministry’s headquarters in Erbil, addressed strengthening relations between the Ministry of Peshmerga and the Security and Defense Committee in the Iraqi Parliament.
She added that both sides stressed the importance of legal coordination to ensure that decisions and laws related to security forces are reflected in the Peshmerga forces, as they are an essential part of the Iraqi defense system.
The statement indicated that another aspect of the discussions addressed draft laws related to services and privileges granted to the armed forces, with emphasis on the need for the Peshmerga forces, along with other Iraqi forces, to be an essential part of the beneficiaries of those privileges and new draft laws.
