Southern Kurdistan Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani had a meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Al-Abadi in Baghdad.
Southern Kurdistan Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani and his deputy Qûbad Talabani went to Baghdad on Saturday.
Barzani, Talabani and KDP official Fûad Hisên have met with Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Al-Abadi in Baghdad. While details about the meeting are not clear, this is the first meeting held between the two sides after the controversial independence referendum of 25 September 2017.
Before the referendum in Southern Kurdistan, Barzani had stated that “There is a bankrupt government in Baghdad”, referring to Abadi.
Abadi had also called the Kurdistan Regional Government “bankrupt” after the Iraqi army and affiliated Hashd al-Shaabi militia seized control of Kirkuk and disputed areas on 16 October 2017.
Barzani and Talabani will reportedly visit Iran for a series of talks with senior Iranian officials.
Either you know The Godfather script by heart, or you don't.
I don’t. I have seen the movie, but I’ve never been into movies much. Don’t watch TV, seldom see a movie, now when I see one that I want to watch I rent it on-line. Last one was “The Promise”, story about individuals caught up in the Armenian Genocide. The move was done well, but the horror was not completely depicted, for good reason.
But in defense of movies, that movie hints at what is happening now. Some of the same players are still trying to commit genocide. Headshake.
Barzini (not Barzani) was the main villain, the one who killed Sonny, and after Don Vito Corleone died, Tessio defected to Barzini and plotted to kill Michael.
When Tom Hagan expressed surprise that the ever-loyal Tessio was the traitor, Michael pointed out that it was the smart play. “He (Tessio) was always smarter” was the punch line.
