Turkey’s main opposition party has embarked on an unprecedented tour to the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, in a bid to shed its anti-Kurdish image in the run-up to nationwide presidential and parliamentary elections scheduled to be held in 2023.
Senior figures from the pro-secular Republican People’s Party (CHP) were received at the highest level in the Kurdistan Regional Government, meeting in turn with Massoud Barzani, the president of the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iraq (KDP), Prime Minister Masrour Barzani and President Nechirvan Barzani.
