The Council of Ministers of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq has approved Soran and Zakho as autonomous administrations, in a meeting led Prime Minister Masrour Barzani.
Prime Minister Barzani cited the size and significance of both districts as reasons to grant them autonomy, and proposed that self-governance would ease the workload of people in those areas.
The Council approved the proposal, and relevant ministries were tasked with commencing the legal paperwork.
The Prime Minister also addressed the dangers of unlicensed weapons in the Kurdistan Region. He stressed that owning and selling weapons should only be done with the approval of the Ministry of Interior, who later proposed a draft bill to end unlicensed weapon possession.
