[rtl]Kurdish officials in Erbil and Sulaymaniyah revealed a new movement, the first of its kind, inside the Kurdish house, is the request of the leader of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Massoud Barzani, from his party, demanding the post of the next speaker, instead of the presidency, because of the laws The task and the sensitive that is expected to be approved, or which have been agreed to be deported, for days, to the new parliamentary session, because of the lack of time.[/rtl]
[rtl]The officials stressed that the Kurds in return for the veto that was imposed on the prominent Kurdish leader Barham Saleh, after his rejection of the referendum on the secession of Kurdistan, and his demand to dissolve the government of the province. And that the latter began contacts with Iraqi Shiite leaders after a break of more than two years, and interpreted these contacts as a scheme to take good office in the federal government in Baghdad.[/rtl]
[rtl]This information was made by a senior official in the Kurdistan Democratic Party, which revealed that "a meeting recently held in the resort of Salah al-Din in Erbil, including prominent Kurdish leaders in the presence of Massoud Barzani, discussed this in an extensive manner," confirmed by another official in Baghdad, but described as " Ideas and proposals did not live up to the final decision or plan for the Kurds. "[/rtl]
[rtl]Since 2004, the political map in Iraq has been the presidency of the republic for the Kurds, an honorary position with little authority, while the parliament is Sunni Arab, and the prime minister of the Shia Arabs, with the exception of Ghazi al-Yawar, Governing Council) for several months following the US invasion of the country, and in the manner of appointment rather than election.[/rtl]
[rtl]The decision of Massoud Barzani, according to the leaks, "to inform the Kurdish political blocs demand to occupy the post of Speaker of the Parliament, instead of the President of the Republic in the next electoral cycle," while working to put this condition in the bazaar to negotiate with the party winning the elections to enable him to take over the presidency, What the results of the May elections will produce.[/rtl]
[rtl]The Kurdish official explained that "the decision came from the fact that all the important and sensitive decisions and laws relating to the region will continue in the next parliament, and finally became clear during the crisis, the importance of the post of Speaker of Parliament and the ineffectiveness of the post of President of the Republic, which failed even to prevent sanctions or amend the financial budget or move Military move towards Kirkuk. "[/rtl]
[rtl]"The decision is strategic, there are laws to demarcate the borders of the region and disputed areas, oil and gas and the Council of the Union and the law of the judiciary and the Peshmerga, and other details relating to the region, all passing through the next parliament," noting that "Sunni Arab and Shiite leaders in Baghdad aware of this and understand why the Kurds claim And this may complicate the issue and prolong the formation of the next government, especially if we know that the Sunnis refuse to give up the post of speaker of parliament.[/rtl]
[rtl]In the meantime, other sources in Sulaymaniyah confirm that "a large movement of prominent Kurdish politician and former PUK leader Barham Salih after receiving Iranian support as an acceptable Kurdish figure in Sulaymaniyah camp because of his position on the referendum and his rejection of him and his demand to dissolve the Erbil government, And considering that Iran helped Kurdistan in the face of a supportive organization, and commended him for that. "[/rtl]
[rtl]According to the same sources, Iran "was imposing a kind of veto on Saleh since 2014, because of differences with Baghdad." Saleh held contacts with various Iraqi political leaders in Baghdad, presenting himself as a legitimate representative of the Kurdish street, in preparation for obtaining the appropriate position within the Iraqi federal government in Baghdad.[/rtl]
[rtl]"There are two opinions in the Kurdish political arena; the first includes Saleh's support for the position of President of the Republic with the support of the Movement for Change, the Islamic Group and also parties in the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, At least 8 seats of the total Kurdish seats in the next parliament The second opinion, which is the Democratic Party led by Barzani and parties from the National Union, goes to take over the presidency of the Kurdish parliament, because it has more powers.[/rtl]
[rtl]Naji pointed out, "consultations gathered close to Abadi and Barham Saleh, concluded that the support of the latter, the first, in the premiership, there will be support from Abadi in favor of the presidency."[/rtl]
[rtl]"A source close to the Iraqi prime minister and working as adviser to him, that" these leaks are true, and the debate has been in the days, but so far did not live to be a plan or a unified Kurdish decision, and there are two opinions in the Kurdish house, .[/rtl]
[rtl]"I think the Sunni blocs are stronger in terms of elections, so they will get the job rightfully, but if there is consensus and deals, this is another search," the source said, asking not to be named.[/rtl]
[rtl]Commenting on that, the MP from the Kurdistan Alliance, Majid Rasul, said that "Barzani did not reject the presidency of the next republic, and did not demand the receipt of the position of the House of Representatives, but today must come to another formula, and ask why this practice in office? "According to what is, according to polls, Mr. Barham Saleh and his list will be able to get only five or six seats in the Kurdistan region, and this is not a large number that could affect the map of the Kurdistan Alliance Interior.[/rtl]
[rtl]Rasul acknowledged the existence of "a rapprochement between Abadi and Saleh," but considered that any promises in this regard are "words premature, and no one can promise anything until after the results of the elections."[/rtl]
[rtl]For his part, said the leader of the "coalition of victory," led by Abadi, MP Abbas al-Bayati, "The meetings of Abbadi with Kurdish parties and blocs continue, including his meeting with Saleh, which comes in the context of openness to all lists and blocks," adding that " To predict the map of future alliances, because the map will be complex, in view of the movement and change, as well as the multiplicity of squares, whether squares Shiite or Kurdish or Sunni.[/rtl]
[rtl]In turn, considered the leader of the "State of Law" bloc, led by Nuri al-Maliki, MP Kamel al-Zaidi, "any meetings or understandings must be clear and explicit, without prejudice to the spirit of electoral entitlements," explaining that "mobility is continuing, and can not stabilize On a map or a formula, and everything is subject to change, and what happens or gets leaks all of it is ultimately subject to the results of the elections can not be predicted by anyone.[/rtl]
[rtl]In the same context, said the leadership of the coalition, "Iraqi forces," Nahida Daini, "The post of President of the Republic must be an Arab, considering that Iraq is an Arab state At the same time, we are, at the same time, as a Sunni component, "But we refuse to accept the post of President of the Republic with little powers, and we will accept it in the case of granting real executive powers, the symbolic position is completely unacceptable."[/rtl]
