The head of the Iraqi Statistics Authority, Diya Awad Kadhim, saw that there is a difference in the census mentioned in Article 140 and the population census.[/size]
[size=45]Article 140 of the Iraqi Constitution includes three steps to solve the problem of disputed areas, which are normalization, census, and referendum in Kirkuk and other disputed areas, to determine the will of their citizens in a maximum period (December 31, 2007). Although compensation for the deportees amounts to 10 million dinars, the brought Arabs receive Double this amount.[/size]
[size=45]According to statistics: Earlier, 68,148 families included in Article 140 were compensated in the committee’s offices in the areas of Kirkuk, Khanaqin, and Sinjar, constituting 39.4% of the total compensation claims, while 15,746 families of Arabs recruited in those areas were compensated, constituting a percentage 58.5% of the total Arabs recruited.[/size]
[size=45]On the other hand, 104,418 families have not received compensation yet, and there are 10,157 families of Arab recruits waiting to receive compensation.[/size]
[size=45]The Iraqi federal general budget law allocated 100 billion dinars to implement constitutional Article 140, an amount that is only sufficient to pay financial compensation to only 10,000 returning deported families.[/size]
[size=45]Dhia Awad Kazem said on Wednesday (April 24, 2024) that the goal of “the general population census is developmental, providing data and information about the problems and gaps that plague economic and social life, to be a means of addressing these problems.”[/size]
[size=45]Dhia Awad Kazem hoped that “there would be a review of the census data in order to diagnose and address these problems.”[/size]
[size=45]The general population census was conducted in Iraq in 1927, 1934, 1947, 1957, 1965, 1977, 1987, and 1997.[/size]
[size=45]Regarding what the population census changes in the areas covered by Article 140, the head of the Statistics Authority said, “There is a difference between the census mentioned in Article 140 and the population census.”[/size]
[size=45]He noted that “Iraq has been carrying out the population census since 1934 by the Ministry of Interior, and the Central Bureau of Statistics began implementing the census since 1977 according to the recommendations of the United Nations, which are development censuses.”[/size]
