Today, Mrs. Rezan Kader met the President of ANCI (National
Association of Italian Municipalities) and Mayor of Turin, Piero
Fassino at the ANCI headquarters in Rome.
The talks focused on the situation in the Kurdistan Region, the recent
attack on the city of Palmira, taken by the militia of ISIS and the
plan to recapture of Mosul under the guidance of the international
coalition and the participation of the Government of Iraq.
The Pres. Fassino expressed his deepest understanding to the Kurdish
people and the Kurdistan Regional Government, proposing to Mrs. Kader
a series of interventions that the Piedmont Region could carry on
supporting the Kurdistan Region. In particular, the Pres. Fassino
proposed to draw up a humanitarian cooperation agreement, in which the
health institutions in Piedmont can offer Kurdish peshmerga the
necessary care, rehabilitation activities, but also provide all
necessary assistance for children. Moreover, such an agreement could
cover more areas of mutual collaboration, about the cultural,
archaeological and economic sectors.
In this regard, Mrs. Kader called on Pres. Fassino to visit the
Kurdistan Region with a delegation from the Piedmont Region in order
to learn more about the area and to explore all available
opportunities for mutual collaboration.
