Members of the Barzani family arrive in the UAE and news of a political asylum request

Baghdad / Sky Press - A number of members of the Barzani family arrived Wednesday in the UAE capital Abu Dhabi amid expectations of a request for political asylum there.

A private plane carrying members of the family of Kurdish President Massoud Barzani to Abu Dhabi has been released in secret, Barzani will leave for the UAE on the pretext of receiving treatment in a hospital, according to informed sources.

The leaks pointed out that Barzani accepted an invitation from the rulers of the United Arab Emirates to grant him political asylum after his resignation from the presidency of the region following the major setback suffered by his separatist project.

Barzani is reported to have suffered from cancer and his urgent need for travel and treatment, which has caused his lack of media coverage after the recent events in Kirkuk.
