in the private sector and to increase the salaries of retirees and generally create social justice as she underwent the first reading, but we can not touch them and discussed and a final decision because the financial situation of the Kurdistan region is going through a bad condition. In contrast, we have implemented some of our plans, such as creating transparency in parliamentary sessions and the creation of a special system of how the parliament sessions manage and organize discussions and maintain a balance between the various parliamentary blocs and activating the role of Parliament on matters relating to executive power and give confidence to the government, and led attempts inside the parliament not to delay the formation of the government more otherwise it is not unlikely that delayed the formation of the Kurdistan Regional Government until after the formation of the Iraqi government, but must take into account that the Government of the Territory with being may be newly formed, but had encountered great crises of financial Kalozma and the refugee crisis and the war against Daash, and we have a front with him a thousand and thirty-kilometer and the Peshmerga situated therein and the management of this front is difficult and at the same time, the government monitoring process continues by members of parliament and call ministers before the competent committees in Parliament as was issued a series of laws and decisions can say that some of them had such a historic decision, which was issued in the twenty-second of this month on sending the Peshmerga forces to Kobanî a decision that is unparalleled in the history of Parliament. Also been completed laws and bills were encountered significant problems during previous sessions could not be resolved has been done in such a short period as the law of the Electoral Commission and the law of parties, the budget and the law of the demonstrations, which have been rejected by the president of the province, but the groups had agreed on the issuance during the new legislative term . Talk: Citizens believes that the current situation Onsakm the theme of corruption while the confidence obtained by you and the mass change of the people are confident face of corruption? Yusuf Mohamed: I did not neglect the issue of corruption in the Kurdistan Parliament, The Committee on effective integrity as we tried to Audit Court starts work With the beginning of our work, as has his boss right in front of the parliament and form the Supreme Council of the FSA and the Commission shall send teams today to all ministries to prepare reports so that an important part of our observations about the Peshmerga and the battle fronts in the current situation the themes pertaining to corruption because we believe that corruption undermines the will of the forces Peshmerga and lead to a waste of resources, as well as the loss of determination among these forces, we did not neglect the issue of corruption, but we want to do other bodies and institutions working on the follow-up in parallel with the parliament, and we will do the public prosecutor more by law to be followed up the issue of corruption through the courts as well. debate People were waiting for you to Ttabqgua law on all parties and Tbdo ministers belonging to Ktltkm Kozara Peshmerga and financial, citizens say that the Ministry of Finance bear a large part of the responsibility of the financial crisis, the Ministry of Peshmerga There battlefront wide There shortening inside the Peshmerga forces, but is not called and your Prime Minister why ? Yusuf Mohamed: MDC is required to respond to this question, but as far as I block reservation to ask questions and call ministers no Regarding us Kriash Parliament we have not received any request from any bloc in Parliament to invite the Ministers of the Peshmerga and finance were also invited Minister of Peshmerga last Monday to the committees of the Peshmerga and Djinosad and prisoners, and we did what we have without shortening after attending. Talk: before that holds the presidency of the parliament was Inquiry doctorate on factors affecting the political future of the Kurdistan region, do you expected these events in the region and what you read from the scene if we take into account the new reality? Yusuf Mohammed: the Kurdistan region in crisis from three aspects of economic, political and military. Has enabled us to force the will of the people of Kurdistan from the face of all these crises, but we have to be honest with ourselves and recognize the existence of these crises. On the financial side is our crisis we relied entirely on Baghdad, as it relies about 85 per cent of the KRG budget on the region's share from the general budget of Iraq while the Kurdistan region depends on himself before 2003, and during the past ten years is not the economic infrastructure development in the Kurdistan region at $ 70 billion, we must estimate imports so drained well and is not wasting them must also be region in the economy does not depend on oil only because the region does not have any aqueous port for the export of oil so we always threatened to confront crises in the event of international and regional equations have changed so we need to develop industry, agriculture and tourism sectors, and political point of view, these events, she told us that we are divided wrongly at regional hubs, while we need more than any other time of Kurdistan's speech, the military side of the Peshmerga forces suffer from significant with respect to arms and organization, training and combat doctrine problems, and fortunately there is a good will to turn the Peshmerga into a national force professional uniform far from partisan affiliations. debate : Citizens are waiting for that one of the functions of a national unity government to be suspended intervention of regional states in Kurdistan, but it seems that the two main parties in the region Anksma on the Iranian and Turkish axes and increased intervention of these two countries in the Han region interior? Yusuf Mohammed: It is very negative, and it was necessary to decide all of us not to allow the intervention of neighboring countries in this crisis, it is natural to ask for aid from the countries of the world, but from the error that interfere with countries in the region because they have interests in this region, even though deepened crises. Talk: Are you optimistic about solving the problem between Baghdad and Erbil under the government Abadi ? Yusuf Mohammed: in fact, should not be optimistic or pessimistic, and you must know the Kurdistan region of how to deal with the new government, I think we'd done some mistakes in the process of negotiations for the formation of the Iraqi government. Talk: What are those mistakes? Yusuf Muhammad: linking tactic negotiating specific person is wrong in the art of negotiation and was the first demand of the Kurdish forces to participate in the Iraqi government is to change Nuri al-Maliki, even if it came to an end almost government is formed without Kurdish participation and this is the first time that the Iraqi government is formed without prior political agreement with the Kurdistan region, it is important to learn how to deal with the government of Mr. Abadi and how we develop local imports and create pressure leaves and weaken their papers. Talk: You reckoning day for the issuance of the Constitution of the region, is drafted on the basis of a federal territory or country outside Iraq? Yusuf Mohammed: the political decision for the region even today is to stay within Iraq has participated in the Iraqi government, but we can not see one way only and attach ourselves scenario one and continue in this way and do not take into account other scenarios, we hope that this is the way to succeed, a way to stay with Iraq and live peacefully with our surrounding peoples, though We have taken any other decision we would like to be peaceful. Talk: you opened the middle of this month, an office of the Parliament of Kurdistan in Kirkuk, and you said that Kirkuk is a Kurdish city, but Arabs and Turkmen in the city are dissatisfied with the decision of this? Yusuf Mohammed: It is a legitimate right that we consider Kirkuk a Kurdish city, have been identified Kirkuk and other areas in the Iraqi constitution as the disputed areas because more than one party claims of ownership and the Kurds are one of those parties, the right of citizens of Kirkuk and other areas to communicate their no claims to the territory and we'll be with them through the office, and we do not deny the right of any party within the region as well as within Kirkuk. Talk: have you issued during the last period two resolutions outside of the region do not are unprecedented in the history of Parliament, the first is a formal recognition of the territories held by Kurdish forces in Syria, and the second is the decision to send the Peshmerga forces to Kobanî, Is not this an interference in the internal affairs other countries? Yusuf Mohammed: There is a state of emergency, Fdaash areas of the occupied Iraq until the Lebanese border, it is a war against terrorism and the Kurdistan region and Iraq is part of the international coalition against terrorism, so it is the right of the region to help our brothers threatened and face Daash, and in this abnormal situation can be break some restrictions. Talk: but the Peshmerga forces could not protect the Sinjar and Jalawla in its regions, how can succeed outside the home? Yusuf Mohammed: The Peshmerga border with Daash thousand and thirty kilometers long and facing frontline open no doubt that it may happen that the Peshmerga forces in This wide border fail in one area, but you will be able to defend their own turf, which began with modern weapons they received and the volatility of the balance of power and offering assistance to Kobanî and heroes.
