Where: Room 1H1, European Parliament, Brussels
While Iraq may no longer grab the headlines, the developments there have impact on Europe as recent past has shown. Months after the elections, Iraq has still no government while Turkey and Iran are politically and militarily trying to gain power in this country. This is happening at a time when Iraq reaches a crisis point in terms of water which puts harvests under severe pressure. In these circumstances the various minorities of Iraq are under severe strain. This is why it is useful to listen to Dr. Aziz Emmanuel Gewargis Al-Zebari of the HBA. He has been involved in communicating the situation in Iraq to the European Parliament before and we are pleased that he will present us an update on the current situation in Iraq and what the consequences could be of the various crises. Bert-Jan Ruissen MEP (ECR) is the host of this event. You are most welcome to join us at 21 June at 14:00CET in room 1H1 for this update on the situation in Iraq.
