BAGHDAD — The US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson once again called on Baghdad and Erbil to return to negotiations and resolve their disputes over Kurdistan’s self-determination and disputed Kurdish areas via peaceful talks.

He made the call during a meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi in Baghdad after his unexpected visit to the Iraqi capital, as reported by Reuters.

“We are concerned and a bit sad,” Tillerson said in his opening remarks. “We have friends in Baghdad and friends in Erbil and we encourage all parties to enter into discussion ... and all differences can be addressed.”

Earlier on Sunday during another meeting between the two officials in Saudi Arabia, Tillerson had called on the Iraqi government to send the Iranian militias, who are present across Iraq, back home. Abadi however rejected the presence of any foreign military forces in Iraq. 

By “Iranian militias”, the US official meant the Shi’ite militias of Hashd al-Shaabi — or the Popular Mobilisation Forces — whom are receiving support and instructions from Tehran. 

“Popular Mobilisation fighters should be encouraged because they will be the hope of country and the region,” Abadi said. 

The Hashd al-Shaabi are the forces which led the last week’s military operations against the Peshmerga positions in Kirkuk, Tuz Khurmatu and other disputed Kurdish areas.
