rafidainscope - The Kurdistan Regional Government has emphasized the vital role of the Peshmerga forces as a fundamental and constitutional part of the Iraqi defense system, considering them a safety valve for the stability of Iraq and the region. Erbil

renewed its full support for the federal government's efforts aimed at enhancing joint security cooperation between the Peshmerga and the Iraqi Armed Forces. Simultaneously, the region's leadership issued an official call to the central government in Baghdad, urging it to

fulfill its constitutional obligations toward the Peshmerga, primarily equalizing their salaries and financial dues with their peers in the Iraqi Army.
