Jaff Sassani Respond

We are the representatives of the Jaff people with the Sassanian origin, as he knows we are one fourth of the population in Iraqi Kurdistan. We are calling on Mr. Barzani to stop comparing the Persian people to the Turks and Arab imperialist.
We are the people with common history, religion, culture and language with Persian people and other Iranian nations in the Middle East. The Kurdish people do not have any common heritage with the Turks or Arabs except of the common Islamic religion. Both nations are occupiers but Persian people are our brothers and sisters with the same blood.

The Persian people are always saved our people during the hard time. We owe them apologies. The Iranian Government did have bad policy toward the Kurdish people and Persian people alike. We should complain about the Iranian Government policy not the Persian people from now on.

The Kurdish futures are with the Iranian nations. We have to work on our wrong policy toward the Persian and other Iranian nations in the region.

Please stop calling our conations any blames from now on.

Thank you for your attention.

Sincerely,
Jaff Sassani
