Hawrami speaks in the Alsharq Forum on Indigenous Attempts to Reshape the MENA

By official invitation, the Head of Kurdistan Democratic Party's Foreign Relations Office, Hemin Hawrami, participated at the Alsharq Forum which is being held in Istanbul from 8th to 10th October under the slogan ‘Envisioning a Post-Crisis Regional Order in the Sharq Region’.

In attendance at the forum are many academics and political figures to discuss the global relevance of the situation in the Middle East and ways to solve problems and rising tensions.

Mr Hawrami will deliver talks on "Envisioning a Post-Crisis Regional Order" in the Sharq region. On the sidelines of discussions, he met with many of the participants and conversed on the current situation in Kurdistan, including the ongoing preparations for the liberation operation in Mosul.

This dialogue is held in order to discuss political issues in the Middle East. It will mark the Sykes-Picot agreement on its 100-year anniversary not only because it was one of the founding charters of the state system of the modern Middle East, but a milestone marking the ending of one era and beginning of another, but also because this anniversary comes while the whole region is subject to dramatic events resulting from what seems to be “a big failure” in the modern state project in the region. The central government has collapsed in many states and primordial identities and loyalties (religious, tribal, racial, and sectarian) have returned to surface after recession of the concept of citizenship.
