European countries, which have a history of hundreds of years of war with each other, are now taking effective steps in establishing an alliance and therefore people in our region who have much deeper and broader commonalities with each other, can create such unity and cohesion more and better and overcome their differences and live together in peace and tranquility, he elaborated.
Barzani, for his part, while condoling the martyrdom of Haniyeh in Tehran, said that the Zionist regime's purpose behind this assassination was to spread mischief in the region.
