[ltr]And on the granting of the federal government, a deadline for the withdrawal of the Peshmerga forces from their positions in Kirkuk and the disputed areas and return to the so-called blue line drawn by the United Nations under the reign of US civil administrator Paul Bremer, after the fall of the former regime,[/ltr]
[ltr]As for the existence of time limits or giving a specific deadline for the redeployment of the federal forces, which was present before June 10, Al-Hadithi said, "I have no comment on this subject, but the federal government is committed to the implementation of the provisions of the Constitution and the exercise of its sovereign powers in various files, Constitutionally contested.

[ltr]Al-Hadithi said that "the federal forces at this time have a constitutional and national responsibility to enforce security, maintain order, enforce law, protect citizens and their interests from all components in mixed areas, and maintain brotherly life among Iraqis."[/ltr]
