Karwan Jamal Tahir the Kurdistan Regional Government’s High Representative to
the United Kingdom, welcomed DEM Party Co-Chair Tuncer Bakirhan.
Both leaders held a constructive dialogue focused on the recent
developments in the peace process in Turkey, and the significance of the
current phase of the initiative, aimed at ending decades of conflict and
violence and resolving the Kurdish issue through peaceful and democratic means.
Co-Chair Bakirhan emphasised the urgency of this moment, describing it
as a critical opportunity for both sides to overcome longstanding divisions. He
noted that the desire for peace reflects the collective will of the Kurdish
people in Turkey to move towards a future defined by security, mutual respect,
and coexistence.
High Representative Tahir reaffirmed the KRG’s strong support for peace
and dialogue, and welcomed the efforts of Kurdish political leadership, both
within the Kurdistan Region and in Turkey to pursue a non-violent resolution to
the conflict. He underscored the importance of leveraging all diplomatic and
political tools to ensure the success of the peace process.
Both parties agreed on the need for sustained collaboration and regional
backing to advance dialogue and de-escalation. They concluded the meeting with
a shared commitment to fostering long-term peace, regional stability, and
inclusive coexistence not only in Turkey but across the wider Middle East.
