French firm to build small Eiffel-style tower in Iraqi Kurdistan
PNA - A French company is planning to build a three-storey building in Iraq designed on the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris, an Iraqi news agency reported on Sunday.
The building will be constructed for cultural and tourism purposes in Sulaymaniyah, the second largest city in the northern Kurdistan governorate, Shafaq said, quoting Yousuf Yassin, director of Sulaymaniyah municipality.
He said the city had given permission to the company to build the structure along with other projects, including French products shops.
“In line with investment laws in Kurdistan, foreign investors are asked to carry out a tourism project in the city where they intend to invest,” he said.
“This French investor presented the Eiffel project to Sulaymaniyah municipality, which approved the project…it will have the same design as Eiffel Tower in Paris and will be equipped with laser lights showing the flags of Kurdistan and France,” he added without identifying the investor or giving further details of the project.
