KURDISH INDEPENDENCE LIKELY QUESTION OF ‘NOT IF BUT WHEN,’

SULAIMANI – The Kurdish push for independence of the Kurdistan Region is likely to be a question of “not if but when,” a senior U.S. official said.

Speaking to a U.S. Senate hearing on Tuesday (May 23), Head of the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency, Lieutenant General Vincent Stewart, said the Kurds’ ability to reach an understanding with the government of Iraq would be essential to avoid a renewed conflict.
