BAGHDAD – Babinaoz (Reuters) – Head of the Kurdistan region of Iraq that the Kurds are determined not to slide into sectarian controversy because of the attempt by Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki’s deputy arrested by the Iraqi President said that the failure of the application of the federal system will lead to disaster.
After nine years of the invasion led by the United States are still many areas of Iraq are suffering from Sunni insurgents and Shiite militias, but the Kurdish region enjoyed peace and prosperity prevail after the success of their uprising against Saddam Hussein in 1991 and gain autonomy within a federal system under the Constitution of Iraq in 2005.
Kurds remained largely immune to the ongoing political bickering that dominates the work of the central government in Baghdad were not directly affected their interests and trying to act as a mediator to resolve political conflicts.
But asylum Tariq al-Hashimi’s Sunni vice president of the Iraqi Kurdistan last month after trying to arrest him in connection with charges of running death squads pushed the Kurds to the heart of political theater can slip into sectarian violence.
Barzani said, told Reuters in an interview that he does not want to be dragged into this situation.
He added that the Kurds are not part of the ongoing sectarian conflict there. He explained that they are of course part of the political controversy and political conflict, but are not part of the sectarian divides.
He called on the Kurds to a national conference to resolve differences between Maliki and the Iraqi bloc, which is made up of different sects and the intersection of Parliament and meetings of the government, accusing Maliki’s Shi’ite-led focus of the authorities in her hand.
Barzani said that Kurds are waiting for agreement of the parties concerned on the date and venue of the meeting.
Barzani said that he is ready to host the conference, but political sources said that al-Maliki opposed to meeting in the Kurdish capital Arbil and wants to settle the issue of al-Hashemi first.
Barzani said, who was dressed in traditional Kurdish blocs that if he decided to locate the last meeting it is up to her but the place is not a problem for the Kurds.
However, it expressed the belief that many of the groups in question are not ready to go to Baghdad.
With regard to the fate of the Hashimi, Barzani said that this thing must be decided by the judicial system and courts and that the Kurds will not intervene in any proceedings determined by the judicial system.
Hashemi said he was ready to stand trial in the Kurdistan region and insists that it is not possible to get a fair trial in Baghdad.
Kurdish crisis and put in a precarious situation but can also be a position of strength as intermediaries if possible to reach a political agreement and will need Maliki’s bloc and the bloc to support the Iraqi Kurds in the parliament in the context of the confrontation between the two blocs.
And would use the Kurds as a means to obtain concessions on strategic interests, such as control over oil resources and regional differences with Baghdad.
Despite the enjoyment of their mountainous region in northern Iraq, Kurds feel relatively safe from the resentment of Baghdad’s failure to settle the status of Kirkuk, where there are huge oil reserves and the Kurdish government says it is part of Kurdistan.
And Article 140 of the Constitution in 2007 as the date for a referendum on its fate, but not until now.
Barzani said – who led the peshmerga forces that fought Saddam from 1979 after the death of his father, who fought against the rule of Baghdad since the forties – that the Kurds have chosen voluntary unity between Arabs and Kurds and that the system of government in a federal Iraq. He added that this constitutional right of the Kurds and the people of Iraq.
He said that prevent the implementation of constitutional articles will push the country into big problems and will bring disaster.
In light of the faltering long-awaited passage of a law on the exploitation of oil resources in the future because of political infighting in Baghdad, the Kurdish government also went ahead and signed oil deals with its own most notably Exxon Mobil, which drew outrage from the other participants in the central government.
