Barzani's adviser refuses to comment on al-Musawi's statements 

Shafaq News / The Special Adviser to the head of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), Masoud Haidar, refused to respond to the "disrespect" that Hamed al-Musawi, the member of al-Fatah coalition, showed in his statements about the Kurdish component and al-Siyada coalition.

Haidar said in a tweet on Tuesday, "we refuse to comment on Mr. Hamed al-Musawi's disrespectful remarks."

He indicated that the Kurdish community has an "honorable history" with respectful Shiite clerics, political leaders, noting that together they should solve the crises the country is going through.

"The Kurdish leadership, represented by President Barzani, is a whole honorable history of struggle", he added.
