He made the remarks in a meeting with Secretary General of Iraq’s Kurdistan Islamic Union (KIU) Mohammed Faraj Ahmad Aziz in Tehran.

The Iraqi figure, for his part, praised the Islamic Republic’s key role in the region and expressed gratitude to Tehran for backing Iraq in its battle against ISIL terrorists.
