An informed source told Kurdistani Nwe that the German government has asked the Kurdistan Regional Government to send two representatives to Germany to sign an agreement to send Kurdish asylum seekers, who haven't received asylum or whose cases have been rejected, back to Kurdistan. The source said that the Kurdistan Regional Government has rejected the call. "The KRG has informed the (German) government that it won't participate in any agreement that puts pressure on the Kurds (in Germany)," the source said.
