“Barzani violated all the laws when he sheltered the fugitive former Vice President, Tariq al-Hashimi, that facilitated his escape to Turkey and provided shelters for the Syrian militants in the Kurdistan Region,” he added stressing “Barzani always seeks during his travels abroad to show that the Central Government, and its Premier al-Maliki as an opponent to the Kurdistan Region which threatens its safety.”
