Sherko Jawdat told NRT that the lawmakers will express the Kurdistan Region&rsquo;s solidarity and support for the Kurdish fighters and closely monitor the Afrin situation.

They will transfer medical assistance to the Afrin residents who affected by the Turkish attack, according to Jawdat.

&ldquo;The delegation will prepare a report on Afrin situation in order to be presented during a parliament session,&rdquo; he added, adding that they will do what they can to inform other countries about Afrin situation.
