A name from the Iraqi Turkmen Front became minister of state

In April, Iraqi Turkmen Front (ITF) Chairman Muhammed Seman Ağa, who was elected as the Governor of Kirkuk after 100 years, was appointed as the minister of state by the Iraqi Parliament.

Agha is expected to submit his resignation from his post as Governor to the Kirkuk Provincial Council on Monday, October 19. Later, one of the 3 candidates that the Iraqi Turkmen Front will present to the Kirkuk Provincial Assembly will also be elected as the Governor of Kirkuk.

In accordance with the rotating governorship agreement reached between the Turkmen, Kurdish and Arab political coalitions in Kirkuk, the post of governor will be held by Turkmens until the end of this year.

ITC President Ağa, who was elected as the Minister of State, made the following statements in his post in Turkish from the social media platform of the US-based company X:

"May it be beneficial to Iraq and our Turkmen nation. I hope we will do our duty properly. May God not put us to shame!"
