of Peace in the Middle East,” sponsored by the Scottish Council on Global

Khosro Ajgayi, Director of Political and Media Affairs at the Kurdistan
Regional Government Representation in the UK, who was representing the KRG High

and stability in the region would not be possible. Moreover, he highlighted the
importance of peaceful coexistence in the region and called for a re-evaluation
