/PanARMENIAN.Net/ U.S. Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, met with
Nechirvan Barzani, visiting prime minister of the Kurdish regional
government (KRG), to discuss recent developments in war-torn Iraq,
including matters relating to the presence of the outlawed Kurdistan
Workers' Party (PKK) in northern Iraq Monday.
Neither Rice nor Barzani made a statement before or after their
talks, but U.S. State Department spokesman Sean McCormack confirmed
that countering the northern Iraq-based PKK was on the agenda for
the meeting.
During a meeting with Congressmen, Mr Barzani advanced an idea of
formation of a U.S.-Kurdistan friendship group, Turtsia.ru reports.
Kurdistan PM also met with the Defense Secretary Robert Gates and
CIA chief, general Michael Hayden.
"Jointly with Turkey, we are trying to find practicable solutions to
many problems, including the PKK," Barzani said
