Kurdish and US presidents to meet to discuss self-determination

The question of Kurdish self-determination and the war against Islamic State militants will be discussed by a high level Kurdish delegation heading to meet the US president and other officials at the White House.

The Kurdish delegation, led by President Masoud Barzani, will meet American officials, US President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday, reports Rudaw.

The Kurdish president’s chief of staff, Faud Hussein, outlining details of the visit, said,

“The question of self-determination is a just right of the Kurds and how Kurdistan’s self-determination is to be handled will certainly be discussed.” Kurds have their own vision for the area, but we will see how the Americans view it, too.”
