Erbil / Kurdistan Region President gave a speech on the occasion of Nowruz celebration, which he discussed the most important political problems between the

The central government and the province .. and this text of the speech.

In the name of God the Merciful

O dear sisters and brothers, dear

Dear, dear Alchordstaon in Kurdistan and the Diaspora, with all my heart bless our festival national solutions Nowruz.

More than 2500 years rose Kurds and refused to dictatorship, and since then, to the day and the Kurds continue to struggle and resistance for freedom and liberation, and this in itself carries connotations and many meanings, it means that we are a nation alive and not accept humiliation and servitude of one, We are a nation must be free and live freely, and this eloquent lesson for us and for others as well.

Sisters and brothers

Many of the people they call and ask us to announce today Bushra great for the people of Kurdistan, so we assure you that that day is coming, God Almighty to declare where that human, but they must be in good time, but Be assured that the human is coming inevitably.

Ladies and Gentlemen

We are at a sensitive stage and will receive a new ministry of the Government of the territory of its functions in these days, and I wish to be involved in all the forces Kurdistan, including the opposition, too, but it seems that the brothers in the opposition has decided not to participate, however we hope to be a mirror of the Government of the Territory to show the shortcomings and strengths a bug where, in order to eliminate corruption and to address imbalances and pushing the level of our experience at me the prospects of more sophisticated by the day. We have said repeatedly that we as parties and the parties; natural for us to have opinions and different points of view, but must meet all of us and unite under the umbrella of Alchordaata (MQM flag), especially today when we see that the Kurdistan exposed again to the plans and unlawful attacks by predators, and felt by many their dreams to create gaps in the labor Kurdistan, but the Kurds are united when there is a risk of threatening the security of the region and the future of the Kurds and Kurdistan, and, alas, and I say with all the bitterness; appeared there just a few of the people turning their backs for years and Insunha, because they have forgotten what by the Kurds to them, that the role of the role of the Kurds is a clear and obvious, and that Kurdistan was a haven for the persecuted and oppressed, and the few that impose itself by force today in Baghdad, had resorted to Kurdistan, Kurdistan and then opened its doors to them.

Iraq, these days witnessing a serious crisis, and when we say a serious crisis, we realize what we say and what we mean, and we always sought to serve our fellow Arabs, Turkmen, Assyrians and Chaldeans in the whole of Iraq; Ksaina to serve Kurdistan, because we want to serve Iraq in general.

After the overthrow of the dictatorial regime in 2003, we tried possible effort to benefit other parts of Iraq from the experience of Kurdistan, but they unfortunately did not benefit from our experience. We have done what we can to prevent the outbreak of sectarian conflicts and sectarian; and we said and we say also that we will not be part of this conflict, and we feel bitterly when he kills one of the Sons of Iraq, either in Basra or Erbil or Baghdad, Najaf, or in any other Iraqi city, because they are our people and our families and Wellbeing. But everyone knows that the Kurds have had a major role in bringing down the system and building the new Iraq, especially in the establishment of the current government, which was formed two years ago at the Erbil Convention, it is without a role for the Kurds of Iraq to the perils of exposure. Unfortunately, now appeared a group of people a few monopolized all joints of the transmitted power and intellectual terrorism, where it is not possible that one criticizes them or express his opinion and only suffered agitation and began Itahjmon unabated.

Today the time has come to clarify the facts to the people of Kurdistan and the Iraqis in general, in order to know the difference between us.

That our disagreement is on the:

First: Partnership Kurds and Arabs in power (ie, Shiite Arabs and Sunni Arabs) with an estimate of partnership and other components, partnership now no longer have any meaning.

Second, commitment to the Constitution; where they are constantly violating the constitution, as well as neglect and lack of implementation of agreements on the basis of Erbil. And that they have forgotten the Constitution and the Partnership upon arrival to power, they forget that this is closely related to the fate of Iraq and all Iraqis, not related to the fate of the Kurdistan Region only.

And we come to the differences between the group which is now in power in Baghdad and the region:

1. The differences are over Kirkuk and other disputed territories, where they evade them always, while we have demonstrated our highest degree of flexibility, and I thank you, the masses of the people of Kurdistan, for you you take a lot, and was s destination is to the extent that may ye we did not make the effort seriously and enough, or that we were remiss in our performance, but we have made efforts and we did not fall short, we we have demonstrated good faith, when we deal with it by resorting to the constitution, we imagine that others respect the covenants and their signatures, because the Constitution a mechanism solution to address these problems , there is nothing wrong if it was processed in accordance with the Constitution or be treated as well as now, but it is not possible to give up on this, because this issue is for us than the question of principle.

2. Peshmerga issue, everyone knows what the role played by the peshmerga at the level of the whole of Iraq, but now look at the Peshmerga look the enemy, and they are in the past six years even plundered the budget for the Peshmerga do not allow sending to Kurdistan. Worse than that; that this Althelp waiting for access to fighter jets F-16 to try its luck again with the Peshmerga. They are in this mental rule Iraq!.

3. The issue of oil and gas, we have agreed in February of 2007 the draft law of oil and gas to be referred to the House of Representatives, and he stipulates that in the absence of passage to the fifth month of that year, shall have the right at the time of the province and the federal government spend decades, we have no any difference accordance with the Constitution, because the oil and gas are the king of Iraq, and that Ardathma is for all Iraqis, why if Ahristilon law to the parliament?. However, they suffer madness in Baghdad in the event of the arrival of any company to enter into contracts with the region, because they know that what we do is work unconstitutional. The problem is Atkmen the constitutionality or unconstitutionality of such contracts, but they are to Aihtmlon for any development in Kurdistan and stand deduced from any progress happening where, despite the fact that those contracts where the good of all Iraqis, and we are committed to this income is for all Iraqis, however, do not allow the arrival of any company here, not to mention the threat directing them to those companies and the exercise of pressure by various means.

4. The other point related to the formation of an army two million have loyalty to one person, when obtained in any part of the world there is a person brings in his hands positions such as commander of the armed forces and defense minister and interior minister, intelligence chief and head of the National Security Council?!, And yesterday was sent message to the Central Bank in order to be associated with too!, what is left for others wonder?, and if some people believed that the Shiites are satisfied with this situation, the Shiites are marginalized by the Sunni and the Kurds. And which is deplorable is that this group wants to show to the world that the Kurds are the ones who have changed their position on Shiites or changed their ally!, But the Shiites, who know them are the followers and supporters of al-Hakim and al-Sadr, and they who stood always on the side of Kurds and supported them, and that the Kurds, in turn, stood to them and supported them, and we will always be together with each other and each other and supportive Mtakndeghin together as well. Those who claim to be defenders of the rights of the Shiites, the Nokia defense is through the marginalization of the Shiite alliance, Nokia and by creating new enemies of the Shiites. Aihspoa or that of others in Iraq any account. We say that Iraq is for all of us; Korda, Shiites, Sunnis, Turkmen, Assyrians, Chaldeans, Iraq for all Iraqis and all according to size and Moukeith. Shiites and they serve through providing services to the Shiites and achieve security and stability for the Iraqi people. But what you did to Iraq? Yours; let's put the whole of the accounts on the table!.

We confirm the commitment Bthalphena with our fellow Shiites, but not with this class that monopolized all aspects of power and Athsp for others any account, and I am sure that the Shiites are not satisfied with this situation by the Kurds and Sunnis.

Sisters and Brothers

It is time that we say it enough, because Iraq is moving towards the abyss, and that a small group on the verge of dragging Iraq toward dictatorship, Iraq is experiencing a serious crisis, and the time such a situation is unacceptable for us at all, and for this call: All party leaders and the Iraqi political parties to stimuli of the situation and sit down together at a time of emergency; so as to develop mechanisms and to accelerate the solution to this situation and deal in a very short period, otherwise we will go to our people, and then will make our final decision, and this in order to Atelqgua we blame anymore.

In conclusion; Pthaaana send to the lives of the martyrs of the whole of Iraq, the Kurds and Kurdistan, Martyrs, and all the martyrs for freedom in the world.

So...the Kurds aren't happy? Surprise, surprise...are they ever happy?

Kurd's are our ace in the hole. They carry a lot of weight in this process, and in some ways, when they are not happy, nobody is! The only way to get Maliki to do anything is to threaten him, and I think Barzani, and Talabani, know that !

We need these guys, especially to stabilize this government. They are the only ones, that actually have their act together.

I hope Maliki is paying attention!

JMHO

Go RV!!

So...the Kurds aren't happy? Surprise, surprise...are they ever happy?

Uh...no!

[Halo9678]

Wow... Talk about reading someone their rights.... It looks like the political parties of the GoI are making their cases against PM Maliki. And their making pretty good ones, if I may be so bold. Soon the Arab League Summit will convene and all of Iraq's "dirty laundry" will be on display... If ever there was a time for Maliki to do what is best for his people in the face of adversity for the stability, if not growth, of the country.... "Now!!!" would be a pretty darn good time to do so.... IMHO...

[Frogee]

"And that they have forgotten the Constitution and the Partnership upon arrival to power,". I guess we taught them well.

[uncirculd]

I wish Talabani were in the news. He has been quiet. This government not getting seated is going to really be bad. Whoever you think is the good guy don't matter. The fact is there is not a power sharing fully seated government.
