ArmInfo.Of course, all countries in the region are against the establishment of an independent Kurdistan - Iran, Iraq, Turkey and Syria are in the neighborhood, and each of them has many Kurds, so they fear the export of a wave of Kurdish independence to their territory, but the creation of an independent Iraqi Kurdistan is already an irreversible process. The deputy of the National Assembly of Armenia from the Kurdish minority, Knyaz Gasanov, stated this in the conversation with the correspondent of ArmInfo.
He expressed confidence that independent Kurdistan will establish diplomatic and friendly relations with Armenia. "Even in the time of Saddam Hussein, many Armenians went to Iraq and defended the Kurds during the civil war, one of them is now elected to the Northern Kurdistan region," Hasanov said, stressing that the Armenian government is always open for new relations with the states of the region.
Talking about the impact of the creation of an independent Kurdistan on the process of self-determination of nations, Gasanov noted: "If the international community recognizes an independent Kurdistan, it will inevitably lead to the intensification of the process of international recognition of Artsakh," Gasanov concluded.
