US Sen. Bob Corker: I’m thankful for partnership we’ve had with Kurds for many years
Earlier this week, Kurdistan 24 spoke with US Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tennesee) who expressed his high regard for the Kurdish people.
Bob Corker chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Like Ros-Lehtinen, he did not run for re-election and will be leaving in January.
“I’ve been to Kurdistan many times, to Erbil,” Corker said, “and I love the people of Kurdistan.”
“I’m thankful for the partnership that we’ve had for many, many years, and I wish them well,” he added. “I send tremendous warmth” to them.
Corker, however, has long supported the unity of Iraq, and he also explained, “I’m glad” the Kurds are “part of the Iraqi government,” and I’m glad that the new Iraqi prime minister “appears to be reaching out” to the people of Kurdistan, as well as the Sunni and Shi’a populations.
