    New Parliament Speaker: Iraq ‘Cannot be Divided’




    Sunday, 20 July, 2014




    The new speaker of the Iraqi parliament said in a televised interview that “Kurds believe in the constitution” and the country “cannot be divided.”

    Salim al-Jabouri also told Arabic Sky News that that Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki remaining in office for a third run is only a “weak possibility.”

    Jabouri, who was elected last week as Iraqi MPs and politicians grapple with a country in upheaval, acknowledged “there are some issues which need to be resolved” between the central government and the autonomous Kurdistan Region.

    He warned that the current situation in Iraq is “very complicated,” and said he was ready talk with all sides to “end the issues.”

    Commenting on how the insurgents were able to conquer so much territory within weeks, Jabouri said they had popular support.

    “Many terrorist groups were helped by people from some areas. Some of these people are old, some are young and some are calling for a revolution,” he said in the interview.

    “Terrorists should not be offered more opportunity, so that their hands will not be bloodier than they already are,” said Jabouri, who is the youngest speaker in Iraq’s history,
