Please don't type in all CAPS, it's the equivalent to YELLING, let alone hard to read, thank you.
dont get too happy until after the vote hopefully we will win in everypart of kurdistan
Good news indeed, Kurdo. It's good to see you not so glum for a change.
Let us wait and see ,hope that justice will take place as thousands of those suffering innocent Kurds lead a normal life just like any one else on this uneven planet !
does this still mean that 10000 dinar arabs can still vote?
I think the thousands arab vote secure they have the right to vote if they wish to,what was in doubt allowing the original Kurdish kirkuki returnee to vote like others equaly !
At last !

sorry for the gap !unintentional
there are hundreds of thousands of Kurds that are now living in Baghdad, Mosul, and many other places in Iraq but they were born in Kurdistan, will they vote in Kurdistan or they will vote in their current residance places??
if they will vote were they now live why it is hard to accept the Arabs to vote in Kurdish Areas even if they are not native??
wisdom,
its different, kurds that moved to arab cities moved legally, they bought their own homes and lands there and did not push any arab out of their original homes, the ones in arab regions (who btw are allowd to vote) were moved there by the arabization scheme and are living off land and homes that kurds were kicked (or killed) out of
corrections "the arabs in the kurdish regions that were moved by the arabisation scheme"
the kurdsd living in 'arab' Iraq will vote but they are different in that they moved leggaly to these areas (purchased on homes+did'nt throw anyone else out) another difference is kurds in baghdad arent trying to break baghdad away from its regional role, while thiose in kirkuk are trying are trying to prevevnt kirkuk rejoining kurdistan.
Ps kurds did'nt move to mosul. mosul was a kurdish city until recently, in ottoman times the whole of s. Kurdistan was reffered to as mosul vilayet.
"More Kurds are expected to participate in the upcoming elections after 170,000 refugees in Kirkuk were let to vote."
That's good news.

were moved there by the arabization scheme and are living off land and homes that kurds were kicked (or killed) out of
I can't deny that, but to my believe most of the Arabs in Kurkuk were moved there in the greed for the money (10000 ID)and free land and building materials that was offered by the government in the late 70s and the start of 80s (to build a house but they can't sell it for 15 years)
not only in Kurkuk but in all Iraq, the land in the agriculture suburbs was taken from it's owners, devided into small lots and then distributed to many public workers like teachers, soldiers and war martyrs families but in Kurkuk there was this big campaign to increase the Arab population, but I never knew till the 90s that Kurdish were kicked out and Arabs start taking their homes, that maybe started later.
I always thought they'd allow the refugees to vote. Good news, indeed!
