The President of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), Mustafa Barzani, condemned on Monday a campaign launched by media outlets and social media platforms against Syrian Arab citizens residing in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
In a statement carried by Iraq Times, Barzani said, "In response to the events that have taken place in Aleppo over the past few days, some media outlets, social media platforms, and others have unfortunately launched a campaign against Syrian Arab citizens residing in the Kurdistan Region. Such campaigns and actions are inappropriate and misplaced, and they are in no way consistent with the principles and values of the Kurdish people, in addition to contradicting the policies and general vision of the Kurdistan Region's institutions."
Following a campaign targeting Syrians in Kurdistan, Barzani stated: "This does not align with our principles."
