The Washington Agreement of 1998 between the KDP
and PUK, 1998 September 17
On behalf of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and Patriotic Union of
Kurdistan (PUK), we thank Secretary Albright and the US government for
facilitating a series of amicable and productive meetings here in Washington over
the past several days. We appreciate their efforts in helping to bring us back together
and to assist us in creating a framework for future cooperation. The meetings have
been a major step forward towards a full and lasting reconciliation, which will
provide new hope to the Kurds, Turkomen, and Assyrians and Chaldeans of the
Iraqi Kurdistan region of Iraq.
Both parties also welcome the continuing engagement of the governments of
Turkey and the United Kingdom in the peace and reconciliation process. We wish
to recognize the irreplaceable role our separate consultations in Ankara and London
played in making these talks a success.
In Washington, we have discussed ways to improve the regional administration
of the three northern provinces and to settle long-standing political differences
within the context of the Ankara Accords of October 1996. We have reached several
important areas of agreement on how to implement those accords.
We affirm the territorial integrity and unity of Iraq. The three northern provinces
of Dohuk, Irbil and Sulemaniyah are part of the Iraqi state. Both the KDP and the
PUK unequivocally accept the recognized international boundaries of Iraq. Both
parties are committed to preventing violations of the borders by terrorists or others.
Both parties will endeavor to create a united, pluralistic, and democratic Iraq that
would ensure the political and human rights of Kurdish people in Iraq and of all
Iraqis on a political basis decided by all the Iraqi people. Both parties aspire that
Iraq be reformed on a federative basis that would maintain the nations unity and
territorial integrity. We understand that the U.S. respects such aspirations for all the
Iraqi people.
Both parties condemn internal fighting and pledge to refrain from resorting to violence to settle differences or seeking outside intervention against each other((هەردوولایەن شەڕی نێوخۆ ریسوادەكەنو بەڵێن دەدەن خۆ دوور بگرن لە پەنابردنەوەبەر توندوتیژیی بۆ چارەسەركردنی ناكۆكییەكان، یاخود دژی لاكەی تر بەدوای دەستێوەردانی دەرەكییدا بگەڕێن.)). We
will endeavour to bring to justice those who violate the peace, whatever their political
affiliation motivation.

Both parties also agree that Iraq must comply with all relevant UN Security
Council resolutions, including the human rights provisions of Resolution 688.
To help ensure a peaceful environment for reconciliation, we will intensify our
arrangements to respect the cease fire, facilitate the free movement of citizens and
refrain from negative press statements.
We have agreed to enhance the Higher Coordination Committee (HCC) to ensure
that the humanitarian requirements of the people of the Iraqi Kurdistan region are
met and their human and political rights are fulfilled. The decisions of the HCC will
be by the unanimous consent of its members.

The HCC will prepare for a full reconciliation between the parties, including
normalizing the situation in Irbil, Sulemaniyah and Dohuk; re-establishing a unified
administration and assembly based on the results of the 1992 elections; providing
exclusive control of all revenues to the regional administration; and organizing new
regional elections.
The HCC will enhance coordination and cooperation among local public service
ministries that serve the needs of the people throughout the Iraqi Kurdistan region.
The parties will ensure that these ministries receive adequate revenue for their
operation. The KDP acknowledges that, revenue differences will require a steady
flow of funds for humanitarian services from the current KDP area to the current
PUK area.

The HCC will establish a process to help repatriate everyone who had to leave
their homes in the three northern provinces as a result of the prior conflict between
the parties, and to restore their property or compensate them for their losses.
The HCC will ensure that both parties cooperate to prevent violations of the
Turkish and Iranian borders. It will establish reasonable screening procedures to
control the flow of people across these borders and prohibit the movement of
terrorists. Both parties, working with the HCC, will deny sanctuary to the Kurdistan
Workers Party (PKK) throughout the Iraqi Kurdistan region . They will ensure
that there are no PKK bases within this area. They will prevent the PKK from
destabilizing and undermining the peace or from violating the Turkish border.
The HCC will endeavor to form an interim joint regional government within the
next three months to be ratified by the regional assembly.

Within three months of its re-formation, the Assembly will meet at its building in
Irbil, with subsequent meetings there or in Sulemaniyah or Dohuk. The members
of the this interim assembly will be those individuals who were elected to the
parliament in 1992.
The first meeting of the interim assembly will be within three months. After the
assembly is established, it must authorize all subsequent decisions of the HCC
and/or the interim regional government.
The interim assembly may decide to add additional functions to the operations
of the HCC, including unifying relations with the international community.
To provide a safeguard for regional elections and to help normalize the status of
Irbil, Dohuk and Sulemaniyah, the HCC and the assembly may establish a joint
PUK-KDP-Turkomen-Assyrian security force. The new regional government may
subsequently choose to take further measures to unify peshmerga (militia) command
structures.

After the regional elections described below, the interim assembly will be replaced
by a new regional assembly. This regional assembly will form a new regional
government based on the voting strength of each party in the assembly.
When the regional government has been formed, the HCC will be dissolved
automatically. The term of the regional assembly, the regional gouernment will be
three years.

Until the new interim joint regional government is established, a steady flow of
funds for public service ministries will be directed from the current KDP area into
the current PUK area, due to revenue differences. The HCC, in consultation with
the existing ministries of taxation and finance, is responsible for the apportionment
of revenues throughout the region.
When the interim joint government is established, it will become responsible for
the collection and distribution of all revenues.
After the election of a new regional assembly, a single Ministry of Revenue and
Taxation will have exclusive responsibility for collecting all revenues, including
taxes and customs duties. The funds collected will be at the disposal of the regional
government for uses authorized bY the regional assembly.

The interim assembly and the HCC will address the normalization of Irbil, Dohuk,
Sulemaniyah and other cities. The HCC may call on international mediation
regarding this issue, if it deems it expedient.
The status of these cities must be normalized to a sufficient degree that free and
fair elections can be held.
The interim assembly and the HCC will be responsible for organizing free and fair
elections for a new regional assembly, to take place no later than siX months after
the formation of the interim assembly.

The composition of the new regional assembly will be based on the best available
statistical data on the population of the three northern governorates and the distribution
of ethnic and religious groups there. Seats will be set aside for the Kurdish,
Turkomen, and Assyrian and Chaldean communities.
If possible, the interim assembly and the HCC, working with the international
community, will conduct a census of the area in order to establish an electoral
register. If international assistance is not available in time, the interim assembly and
the HCC will conduct a census on their own, ormaking reference to existing data
they will construct a best estimate of the population in consultation with outside
experts.

The interim assembly and the HCC will also invite international election
monitors to assist both in the election itself and in training local monitors.
UN Security Council Resolution 688 noted the severe repression of the Iraqi people,
particularly the Kurdish people in Iraq. The potential for repression has not eased
since 1991, when the resolution was passed. It is worth noting that in the past year
the UN Special Rapporteur for Iraq reported finding strong evidence of hundreds
of summary executions in Iraqi prisons and a continuation by the regime of the
policy of expelling Kurds and Turkomen from Kirkuk and other cities. This policy
amounts to ethnic cleansing of Iraqi Kurds and Turkomen, with their lands and
property appropriated by the government for disbursement to ethnic Arabs. Many
of the new arrivals participate in this scheme only because of government
intimidation.

In light of this continued threat, we owe a debt of thanks to the international
community for assisting with our humanitarian needs and in preventing a repeat of
the tragic events of 1991 and the horrific Anfal campaigns of 1987 and 1988:
The United Nations special program of oil-for-food for the Iraqi Kurdistatn
region has eased the humanitarian condition of the people. We welcome the support
of the international community for the continuation of this program, with its specific
allotment to the Iraqi Kurdistan region, and hope that, in the near future, a liaison
office for the region can be established at ECOSOC headquarters to better
coordinate the provision of the aid. We also hope that, in the event that benefits from
the oil-for-food program are suspended due to unilateral action by the
government of Iraq, the UN will address the continuing economic needs of Iraqi
Kurdistan and the plight of the people there.

The United States, the Republic of Turkey and the United Kingdom through
Operation Northern Watch have helped to protect the area. We call upon them and
the rest of the international community to continue to exercise vigilance to protect
and secure the Iraqi Kurdish region.

The many non-governmental organizations that operate in the three northern
provinces have diminished our isolation and helped us in countless ways.
The President of the KDP and the Secretary General of the PUK will meet at least
every two months inside or outside Iraqi Kurdistan at mutually acceptable sites.
Pending the agreement of governments, we hope to hold the first such meeting
in Ankara and a subsequent meeting in London.

The Ankara meeting would include discussions on our joint resolve to eliminate
terrorism by establishing stronger safeguards for Iraqs borders. The London meeting
may explore further details concerning the status of Irbil, Dohuk and Sulemaniyah,
and help establish a mechanism for the conduct of free and fair elections.
