Due to recent developments regarding the forcible deportation of Iraqi Kurds to Iraqi Kurdistan the Kurdistan Regional Government Nordic Representation wishes to make the following statement:

The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Nordic Representation reiterates its previous policy with regards to forcible expulsions of refugees from Iraqi Kurdistan. The KRG Nordic is strongly opposed to forcible expulsion of refugees from Iraqi Kurdistan from the Nordic countries, and remains firm on this stance.

The KRG will under no circumstances receive refugees who have been expelled against their will. The KRG is strongly opposed to any such hasty decisions taken during a time when Iraqi Kurdistan is in need of support for strengthening its democratic developments.
