Press reports

1- State law requires new mechanisms to resolve the Iraqi prime minister ..: boycott the political process if the imposition of the National Alliance will we (the Union)

A member of Allawi's Iraqi List, Muhammad, Sunday, the Iraqi political process if the boycott imposed by the will of the National Alliance, warned that the imposition of the will of the National Alliance by overtaking on the "benefit of the Iraqi election" is a "coup" on democracy and a violation of the Constitution.

The Allawi told (Voices of Iraq) that "the politicization of the judiciary, imposing the will of the so-called National Alliance to overcome the elections of Iraq a coup against democracy and a flagrant violation of the Constitution," adding that "Iraq would boycott the political process, if imposed by the will of the National Alliance, the fact that this would be the end of the Iraqi state and its collapse. "

The Iraqi National Coalition officially announced the nomination of leader of the Islamic Supreme Council, Adel Abdul Mahdi as prime minister in a move to rival, the rule of law Nuri al-Maliki to choose one candidate for the National Alliance, which represents the node most prominent on the road to forming a government after six months of parliamentary elections.

Allawi stressed the "foreign interference, the judge refused to share power between Iraq and the rule of law," saying "We prefer to shun the political process to pass the agendas of the State Department and Iran." In reference to Iran's support for the continuation of the National Alliance and choose a prime minister from within, and support the United States for a candidate rule of law. The Allawi coalition refused to negotiate with the Iraqi National Alliance as one bloc, saying that "Iraq refuses to negotiate with the National Alliance because they did not recognize him, but willing to negotiate with the National Coalition and the rule of law both on the unit."

Allawi commented on the conflicting statements on the Iraqi crisis, Congress formed the government, saying "some of the statements going contexts constants that list, which is claimed by the principles of non-negotiable, while the other statements resulting from the recognition of the status quo imposed on us".

In addition, said a member of a coalition Iraqi Kazem Al Shammari that his slate will be held today (Monday) will be held periodically to consider a number of things concerning the conduct of negotiations with other blocs, including the results of the election Adel Abdul Mahdi, a candidate National Coalition to conduct negotiations with national, stressing at the same time maintained its list of entitlement election to form a government.

The Shammari told (Voices of Iraq) that "Iraq will be meeting Monday deliberative of all its members searching with the negotiating committees are reached by negotiations with other political blocs will also discuss the results of the election of Vice President Adel Abdul Mahdi, a candidate for prime minister for national conduct negotiations with them ". "The strategy will also be making the steps to be pursued by Iraq for the next period, which must be acceptable to all parties to the components of Iraq." The new Al Shammari "stuck right to his list of constitutional and electoral systems in forming a government, and Bmarcham for the post of prime minister Iyad Allawi's sole candidate."

In contrast, a coalition member said Haider Abadi, a state of law, Sunday, said a meeting was held on Saturday between his coalition and the National Coalition to discuss the mechanisms for selecting the National Alliance candidate for prime minister, noting that the meeting was preliminary. Abadi, "A meeting was held on Saturday between the poles of the National Alliance to discuss the mechanisms for selecting its candidate, but the meeting was a preliminary, we need to further meetings with the National Coalition." And that "the mechanism to select prime ministerial candidate for the National Coalition, which will be required to coalition rule of law, reliable on the adoption of the voting mechanism through the Committee of Wise Men, with a reduction ratio of 80 to 60% of the voting on the candidates and get a higher win the nomination of the coalition." The Abadi said the "state of law adheres candidate through only Nuri al-Maliki, and that the mechanism agreed between the poles of the National Alliance, but if they come with the brothers in the National Coalition to a dead end then it will be for every incident," expected to "bring-Maliki, a great success if Such a mechanism has been adopted on the grounds that the rule of law has received signals from the parties within the National Coalition will work to support al-Maliki to win the nomination at the expense of Vice President Adel Abdul-Mahdi. "

For his part, said a member of the National Alliance for the rule of law on the Keywords, Sunday, the mass presented a formal invitation to the National Coalition to hold a meeting to resolve the issue of the National Alliance candidate for prime minister. The Keywords (Voices of Iraq) that "the rule of law extended a formal invitation to my country to develop a mechanism resolved whereby the issue of prime ministerial candidate among the nominees of the National Alliance of Adel Abdul Mahdi, candidate of the Islamic Supreme Council (National Coalition), and Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, a candidate state of law , but we do not receive the response until now. " Keywords believes that "mechanisms have been introduced earlier in the National Coalition on the issue of voting is now useless, so we are looking for more flexible mechanisms be developed if the rate of 50% or more to resolve the stand and this is what we will put forward during the meeting."

On the other hand, confirmed the list of Iraqi National Coalition, Sunday, that the meeting will be held between them and the coalition of the rule of law in the coming period to examine the file forming the government will put the record straight, pointing out that the meeting will come out mechanisms to be adopted in the differentiation between candidate coalitions for the post of prime minister. A spokesman for the National Coalition for Hamid Maaleh (Akaniwz) that "our next meeting with a list of the rule of law will resolve several of the most important points to identify the mechanisms of differentiation between the coalitions are a candidate for the post of prime minister." The Maaleh that "the National Coalition has not received any call from the state of law for a meeting between them so far," stressing that "the statements that spoke on the meeting between coalitions incorrect, were reported in some national official." The Maaleh that "all components of the National Coalition considers what happened is the first step and positive towards breaking the political stalemate and moved between Indfa coalitions to develop new mechanisms more flexible than the previous candidate for the selection of the National Alliance for the post of prime minister."

Maaleh added that "even time there's no mechanism for the selection of the National Alliance candidate for prime minister," noting that "the meeting will decide the mechanism to be adopted may add or delete, or even go the parties to the political consensus rather than voting." The two sides have formed a committee called "Committee of Wise Men", composed of 14 members, the task of putting mechanisms to choose a candidate for the National Coalition, but it did not succeed in its quest for disagreement components of the national coalition headed by Ammar al-Hakim on one candidate for its part, in addition to objecting to candidate state law Nuri al-Maliki. And the committee in a timely mechanism for selecting the candidate, including supplying a candidate, 80% of the votes of members of the committee, or go to discuss a new mechanism in the event there is no agreement on the mechanism involved.

In addition, UN Secretary-General of the Virtue Party Hashem al-Hashemi, Sunday, that his party will depend mechanisms within the National Alliance for the selection of the candidate for prime minister, indicating that both Nuri al-Maliki and Adel Abdul Mahdi, welcome them by the mass. The al-Hashemi told (Voices of Iraq) that the Virtue Party "would not vote for a particular character, but will follow the existing mechanisms within the national alliance", noting that these mechanisms "will produce one of the candidates, if Abdul-Mahdi or al-Maliki are both welcome." He also added that virtue "is part of the National Coalition, and Adel Abdul Mahdi, we have selected a candidate to us, when we go into the National Alliance will have two candidates, the mechanisms will be put to elect the one to go by to the Parliament." Hashemi and that the meetings of the National Alliance "will resume after the National Coalition to put his views on the mechanisms by which the elected Prime Minister, and then hold meetings with the rule of law in order to agree on such mechanisms or amendment."

Stream-Jaafari: Mahdi to Aimthelna will not promote him

In a related development, it was revealed a member of the National Reform Movement, led by former Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari, Sunday, that the latter decided not to endorse the candidacy Adel Abdul-Mahdi as prime minister.

Faleh al-Fayad, member of the Reform Movement, for (Akaniwz) that "the mechanism of choosing the candidate of the National Coalition for the post of prime minister and that we have repeatedly repudiated, had implications most notably the lack of support Abdul Mahdi.

" It was Ibrahim al-Jaafari and Ahmad Chalabi, from among the names which deliberated for nominations for the post of prime minister in the meetings of the National Coalition, but the Sadrists (40 seats) announced his support for the Mahdi.

Began widening rift within the coalition (70 seats), after the abdication of the Sadr movement led by Moqtada al-Sadr's support for al-Jaafari and the trend towards supporting the candidate of the Mahdi.

The source pointed out that «the coalition's insistence on the rule of law, al-Maliki will ultimately lead to cracks and out a lot of personalities that do not want to waste their opportunity to participate in the next government».

For his part, Baidhani Qasim, a member of a coalition of law and close associate of al-Maliki, that his coalition remained committed to al-Maliki, denied reports that tend to nominate an alternate for the owners He told «Middle East» «all the presents or rumors about the competing candidate of the National Coalition (Adel Abdul-Mahdi) with an alternative-Maliki, did not exceed the rumors that certain actors are trying drumming her», pointing out that «Maliki will be our candidate, whether we agree with the (Iraqi) or our agreement with the National Coalition, it is our choice which will not give him ».

For the possibility of survival of the coalition based Amid these differences that are likely to have spoken of the National Coalition to «Iraq» ultimately confirmed Baidhani «Our strategic alliance with the National Coalition can not be decrypted naked easily, especially with no veto on Maliki by the components of the National Coalition», he said, adding that «most of what exists is a difference in the views or objections to the march of the Maliki government during the previous period» ..

He stressed member of the coalition of the state of law that «what brings us together with the National Coalition in common terms of reference and street impose on us what he wants, and therefore can not be breaking up the alliance through which to disagree or object, but not the NFC naked», hinting Baidhani that «vision vision of the leader Moqtada al-Sadr's al-Sadr in the end will be the disposition of Maliki's nomination, and no other », refused to reveal more.

To that, "said Mohamed Allawi, leader of the Iraqi List's« Middle East »menu« still in conversations both with the (state law) or (INC) and, if he would agree with one of the bodies of those we will be before the issue of constitutional », adding that «(Iraq) can not give up its constitutional entitlement to form the next government», but hinted that «any kind of agreement can be achieved through the deal by giving some of the key ministries of the constitutional basis of merit».


7 - State Law: National propose mechanisms tailored to the Mahdi ... She would not give up al-Maliki Presenting candidates to parliament to embarrass the bloc's big (the world)

Leaders said in a cluster of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki said Sunday that the adjustments are presented to them from the Supreme Council and the Sadrists, "tailored to the" candidate of the rival, Adel Abdul Mahdi, at the time said there had been no move towards agreement on a mechanism for the selection of the incumbent yet.

This comes at a time he informed source within the National Coalition, for "the world" that out of the Supreme Council and the Sadrists to Maliki's bloc, will end the days of Eid (next week) "and for them at this period, either to withdraw the nomination of al-Maliki, or agree to take him with Abdul-Mahdi to parliament , to explore the positions of blocks. " The source said on condition of anonymity that Maliki's bloc, "looking for a way to lift the siege imposed on it now before the National Coalition and the Iraqi List, but they will not find a useful way in this."

He added that "higher coordination between the Iraqi National Coalition promotes the approval of Moqtada al-Sadr to nominate Abdel Mahdi, and that there will soon settle, a coherent agreement on the floor refused renewal of the owners."

Relate to the National Coalition talks deadline for the selection of a mechanism of competition between Maliki and Abdul-Mahdi in the Shiite alliance, and is likely to pass the time without achieving anything.

Commenting on that, "said Izzat Shahbandar, a member of a coalition of law which is headed by Maliki, for" the world "that the National Coalition" is trying to requirement that is a candidate of the coalition (al-Maliki and Abdul-Mahdi) admissibility national condition to win the post, it means to design the post of prime minister to be on Size Adel Abdul Mahdi, also aims the matter to the removal of Maliki's nomination for president of the government, "he said. say Shabandar that anyone who" think for him to take such a road would rule out the al-Maliki and reduces its chances to win, and most important, "noting that the state of the law" aware of what is planning some parties in this regard. "

On the reasons that make the rule of law is willing to hold a meeting with the National Coalition Despite these developments, which means hard choices to cut the road to al-Maliki, said, "The call comes for the development of standards and realistic to choose a candidate National Alliance," adding "This is about the interests of the coalition and the country" .

Maliki faces a fundamental opposition of the Iraqi List and the Supreme Council and the Sadrists, which means that there are more than 160 deputies will not be giving him confidence in parliament. While the candidate can be agreed upon by the Iraqi National Coalition, have the support of the Kurds as well. He Shabandar "enough that we have wasted over four months in the discussion of standards is not realistic (in reference to the mechanism of the National Alliance, which requires that a candidate receive 80% of the votes of the Committee of Wise Men)," emphasizing " will not accept standards that are meant to marketing a character without the other, in return, we will demand the development of standards in general and fair to pick a candidate to head the next government. "

He added that those who demand that the candidate receives the admissibility of the national "wanted to go of candidates to the House of Representatives and this is not acceptable to state law because it Christrj alliance as the biggest bloc, which could not decide on the candidates." Moreover, denied Hamid Almala leadership of the Supreme Council and member of the Iraqi National Coalition, said that there is an intention to oust al-Maliki or any other characters, he's "world" that one of the priorities of his bloc to go to the National Alliance "and create a more flexible mechanism in order to reach a single candidate to push him to the national space, and an end to form a government ".

As for reports from the requirement of the National Coalition to gain candidate admissibility National said burdensome "does not have Alaitlavan so far made no public meeting to detail the mechanisms intended to choose a candidate to head the government," pointing out that "the meeting will be held between the components of the National Alliance to agree on mechanisms and exits required and can talk about expectations, "he says.

For his part, says the Keywords, the leader of the Dawa Party and a member of coalition rule of law, "we started a while ago to hear from some leaders of the National Coalition they Iromon Go nominees Alliance (al-Maliki and Abdul-Mahdi) to the national space and this in itself constitutional violation is clear, as the constitution confirms that the President would cost candidate of the parliamentary majority to form a government, and therefore the parliament is going to confiscate the National Alliance for the choices on the basis that the decision was referred to other blocs, "he says.

The Keywords of this as a reason "to open the door to put on the positions of other sovereign national space, which will be held from forming a government smaller."

Earlier, sources in the Supreme Council, its leader Ammar al-Hakim and Muqtada al-Sadr, leader of al-Sadr "Iaisan the possibility of cooperation with Maliki's bloc, and that they are trying to topple the excuse by giving more time, but things move towards Iraq after Ramadan."

Iraq Confirms Its Non-Participation in the Government Not Headed by Allawi, Accusing the National Law and Implementation of Regional Agendas

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 6TH, 2010 17:04

BAGHDAD: Iraq announced the list led by former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi, it would not participate in any future Iraqi government does not recognize the right of the existing constitutional and headed by Allawi, accusing the coalition at the same time the state of law and national delaying the formation of the government in implementation of regional agendas.

A spokesman for the Iraqi List Haider Mulla told a news conference held at the existing area Harithiya west of Baghdad, said Saturday that "the list held a meeting chaired by its leader, Iyad Allawi, and heard a report from the Chairman of the Negotiating Committee in the list Rafie al-Issawi on the progress of negotiations with other political blocs to form a government," he said, adding that "Iraq today confirmed in its adherence to the constitutional right to form a government and it will not participate in any government not headed by Iyad Allawi."

Al Mulla said that "some political blocs (in reference to the coalitions of national and Law), which will depend on the agendas of regional contributed to the delays in forming an Iraqi government", noting that "the leaders of a coalition of law said that there were two trains to form a government first Iranian Sircbh National Alliance and other national hoped to come up with the Iraqi and will be led by al-Maliki, which means the absence of a draft of a national coalition of state law, only the renewal for a second term of the owners, "he said.

The spokesman for the Iraqi List that "the list will not escalate any regional train but the train to form a national government led by Iyad Allawi," as he put it.

The position of the Iraqi List adhering to nominate its leader, Iyad Allawi, prime minister and threatened not to participate in any government has formed the National Alliance a clear message rejecting any agreement within the coalition, the national selection of a candidate for prime minister, and emphasizes the commitment of all parties to their positions on political formation of the government is also evidence of the failure of all regional and international endeavors to find solutions to the political crisis in the country.

Saw the stations of the political process in Iraq delays exceeded the time limit set by the Constitution, as happened during the period of the agreement on the constitution in 2005, and the formation of the government after the 2005 elections, through the enactment of provincial elections in 2009, and also with the enactment of the recent parliamentary elections, as well as to that of the previous meetings of the Parliament of atherosclerosis and the procrastination of some parliamentary blocs led to disable the legislation important constitutional formations, such as the Constitutional Court and the accountability and justice.

Iraq's Allawi sees progress on forming government by end-October

Iraq's Allawi sees progress on forming government by end-October


Tuesday, September 07, 2010

Khalid al-Ansary and Serena Chaudhry

Reuters

BAGHDAD: Former Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi hopes coalition talks will have progressed by end-October and said forming a government was key to security in Iraq after the United States formally ended combat operations.

Allawi told Reuters talks between his Sunni-backed Iraqiya group and incumbent Nouri al-Maliki’s Shiite-led State of Law alliance were still at an early stage six months after a general election, which produced no outright winner.

The failure to form a government has stoked fears of a return to widespread violence, just as Iraq emerges from the sectarian war unleashed after the 2003 US-led invasion and deals with oil firms promise to bring future prosperity.

“I hope in October some time, late October [things will be sorted out],” Allawi said in an interview, speaking in English.


“We are still in a preliminary stage. We know that there is a delay, but it is important to be safe and sure than sorry … the United States is leaving, they have started already to draw down, and we believe that there is a lot to be done in this country to make it safe and stable.”


Iraq has been in a political vacuum since the March 7 election which Allawi’s Iraqiya won by two seats over State of Law, although neither party won the majority needed to govern.

Allawi and Maliki’s blocs have held tentative negotiations, but at the same time have also both been reaching out to other potential partners. So far, the Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish political factions remain miles apart on who should hold the main positions of power, particularly that of prime minister.

The impasse has left a void for insurgents to exploit with persistent attacks – particularly against the army and police – raising doubts over their capabilities as US troops prepare to fully withdraw by the end of 2011. The United States officially ended its combat mission last Tuesday, seven-and-a-half years after the invasion.

The remaining 50,000 US troops in Iraq will advise and assist Iraqi security forces, rather than lead the fight against Sunni Islamist insurgents and Shiite militia.

“Eight years have gone and we haven’t been able to build a full-blown security. So God knows when Iraqis will be able to be responsible for their own security and the security of the Iraqi people,” Allawi said.

US soldiers opened fire and provided air support for Iraqi forces on Sunday, when up to six suicide bombers tried to storm an army base in Baghdad.

Dozens of Iraqi Army recruits and soldiers were killed by another suicide bomber at the same compound two weeks earlier.

Allawi said the main sticking points in coalition talks was the position of premier and the question of who had the right to form the next government.

Maliki reached out to Iraqiya after failing to persuade main Shiite ally, the Iraqi National Alliance, to support his bid for a second term.

Allawi said he was willing to allow another member of Iraqiya to take the position of prime minister, but stood firm in insisting that Iraqiya should have the first stab at forming the next government given its slim win in the general election.

Many Iraqis had hoped the parliamentary election would bring greater stability to a country torn apart by war and left in economic ruins by sanctions, neglect and isolation.

But the political impasse has kept many foreign investors waiting on the sidelines. The deals signed with oil majors are moving forward slowly.

Allawi said that it was important to divide power amongst all political blocs in Iraq’s fledgling democracy.

“Because we are transitioning, we need to divide power, and we need to say that no one is going to be disenfranchised, and that no one is going to be the junior partner and the other is the senior partner,” the former premier said.

“Unfortunately, some of our colleagues in the political spectrum believe that to offer you one or two seats in the government is enough, and this is regarded as being part and parcel of the political process. We don’t see this.”
