Al-Haddad: Anfal aimed to ‘eliminate’ Kurdish identity

Deputy Speaker Dr. Bashir al-Haddad expressed at an event to remember the victims of the Anfal Campaign that the events of the 1980s tried to eliminate the Kurdish nation’s identity. “This savage campaign by the Baathist regime was aimed at eliminating the Kurdish nation’s identity and destroying the identity of the territory of Kurdistan,” Haddad said.

He called on the Kurdistan Regional Government to have more coordination with the Iraqi government and to strengthen relations and provide services in areas affected by the Anfal operations, rebuild Kurdish villages and end their suffering.
