Kurdistan Region Prime Minister’s office strongly condemned the recent actions of the Iraqi army, which prevented Kurdish farmers from accessing their lands in Kirkuk’s Sargaran district, including the village of Shanagha.
Efforts to restore land rights to Kurdish farmers took a step forward as the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) reaffirmed its commitment to upholding constitutional principles and protecting the rights of indigenous landowners.
Kurdistan Region Prime Minister’s office strongly condemned the recent actions of the Iraqi army, which prevented Kurdish farmers from accessing their lands in Kirkuk’s Sargaran district, including the village of Shanagha. Despite these challenges, the KRG highlighted progress in reversing past injustices. A historic step was taken last month when the Iraqi parliament passed a bill aimed at returning land to its original owners—an achievement seen as a crucial milestone in addressing demographic changes imposed by previous regimes.
The Prime Minister’s office emphasized that the Iraqi army’s actions contradict the country’s constitution and the foundations of the new Iraq. The KRG remains steadfast in ensuring that legal and constitutional rights are upheld for all communities.
As discussions continue, Kurdish farmers remain determined to cultivate their ancestral lands, reinforcing their deep connection to the region. Their resilience, along with legal advancements, paves the way for a just resolution and a stronger, more inclusive Iraq.
