By: Emmanuel Gyzis*We have been approaching the attempts of the Kurdish region of Iraq for progress and development in all fields, with an elegant care, for a long time.
The Kurdish Parliament and the Local Government have made crucial expanding everywhere.
They create residential infrastructure.
They make new expanding for the Tourism infrastructure. They set the foundation for Elementary, Secondary and Higher Education.
For their children. The hope of the Nation.
At the same time, it is necessary that the developments are dynamic.
A progress that is capable to reveal, through the influence of International Architecture, the final form that the style of the buildings of Iraqi Kurdistan should have. A style that will assimilate the foreign architectural influence yet derived from the traditional cultural past of the Kurds in the field of constructions.
There are several modern Public Buildings at which the local harmony has wisely been combined with international influences. For instance there are those that the Iraqi President’s wife, Mrs Hero Talabani, has taken care of.
Evolution in Iraqi Kurdistan is rapid day in day out, with great "dynamics" and peaceful revolutions in any activity.as we discuss for an economy whose growth of national product is anticipated from 11% to 12% for 2013 and with tremendous oil and gas reserves.
What does this dynamics set as its foundation?
The answer is in the future of the country.
However, how can we reach that future?
Any objective observer would reply unhesitatingly; "Through the peaceful acquisition of the independence of the Kurdish Nation."
For the Kurds all over the world who are expecting their "Sunrise" with fortitude, wisdom, crucial geopolitical realignments.
The unique, in terms of historical importance, common meeting that took place on the 6th of August 2012 at the Local Parliament of Kurdistan, attended by all the Kurdish parties from all over Iraq, “for the formation of the Supreme Council to negotiate with the Federal Government” the conditions for the creation of an official independent State in the geographical borders of the Kurdish region of Iraq, marks a momentous change.
All the political sides of the region have recognized and admitted, after hard –long hecatombs- sacrifices of the Kurdish People, that only a Peaceful Joint Line will bring about a “new era”, permanently and without bloodshed.
All sides must meet half-way. Mutual concessions are necessary.
This is the most crucial criterion.
Everybody has to realise that only together they can put theory into action.
For a cultural, humanistic, social, political, scientific, technical, human support.
With honesty and without any back thoughts, the Kurds who adore and translate “Plato” and “Kazantzakis” show that they really love our country.
If we mean it, without vagueness, let’s "immediately" upgrade the Diplomatic Representation of our country all over Iraq.
By establishing Greek Consulates for Visa granting, our overall relations with Iraqi Kurdistan will be enhanced, simply following the example that thirty eight countries have already set.
We, historically, should have been the pioneers.
Let it happen now, with decisive practice.
And the Kurds from all over the world, this nation, this tormented people, will certainly recognize, in a versatile way, such a concurrence with them, because only benefits will arise for the two Nations.
Greece has to immediately trace a steady and long term foreign policy.
A policy that will bring about permanent comparative geopolitical advantages.
The 30, 0 millions of Kurds who are dedicated to the Peaceful "routes" constantly struggling for a state, send us a shocking live message.
Now is the time!
It is the TIME to once again find our common “ITHACA”, together.
Just like Homer’s Odysseus, let’s love the Voyage and reach the Goal.
We are obliged to establish our substantial Presence in the Geopolitical World Scene!
