On the first day of the workshop in Rimelan KNK’s Koc pointed out how the enemies of Kurdish people unite despite all their differences against Kurdish people.

“We could have given a strong response to all obstacles. If KDP had joined the National Unity Workshop in Suleymaniyah all the world would support such a referendum” Koc said.
