The head of the Change Bloc MP Amin Bakr said Wednesday that the Federal Court, within its response to a query sent by him, pointed out that Article 140 of the Constitution is a valid and valid and non-expired article, while noting that the Federal Court responded by interpreting trolls with turbid water.

Bakr said in a press conference held in the parliament building and attended by SNG, that "the Federal Court has indicated in response to a query presented to it on the definition of disputed areas in November last year, that the disputed areas are areas that were administered by Kurdistan on March 19 2003 This means that the meaning of the disputed areas are the provinces of Arbil, Dahuk and Sulaymaniyah, which is not true and a clear gap in the interpretation of the Federal Court.

 

Bakr added, "We filed a request last February to the Presidency of the Parliament to address the Federal Court on the interpretation and demand to reconsider the interpretation where the Federal Court replied to our inquiry on atheist ten of this month that the Federal Court believes that the disputed areas are areas that were not managed before Kurdistan Regional Government on March 19, 2003 in the governorates of Dohuk, Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, Kirkuk, Diyala and Nineveh, and that the resolution of this issue be made by the committee formed in accordance with Article 140 of the Constitution.

 

Bakr said: "We can respond to some trolls water turbidity on two important things is that some say that Kirkuk is only a disputed area and the interpretation of the Federal Court binding for all the picture is clear that all of these areas have a disputed status, the other is related to the auctions of some That the Constitutional Article 140 is a finished article, the interpretation of the Court stressed the fate of those areas in accordance with that article and this clearly means that it is a valid article and the basis for resolving the issue of disputed areas in accordance with the mechanisms that have been established to resolve.

Bakr said that "this decision of the Federal Court this means that the rights behind them are not going to die and the delay of recovery, and here is the Federal Supreme Court confirms a binding decision that article 140 of the Constitution is a living substance in force."

Article 140 of the Iraqi Constitution provides for the normalization of the situation in the province of Kirkuk and the disputed areas in other provinces such as Nineveh and Diyala, and set a period of time ended on the thirty-first of December 2007 to implement all the provisions contained in this article, and left the people of those areas freedom Self-determination whether by remaining an independent administrative unit or appended to the Kurdistan region of Iraq through the organization of a referendum, but several obstacles led to the delay of the implementation of some of the basic items in the article for reasons that politicians say the Kurds are political, while Baghdad says that the delay is not deliberate, The competent ministerial application of article that carried out some of its clauses, such as compensation for those affected, have not been implemented in the most important of which is the referendum on the fate of the city.

While the Kurds strongly support the implementation of Article 140 of the Constitution, a section of Arabs and Turkmen in Kirkuk and other areas opposed to their implementation, for fear of the possibility of annexing oil-rich province to the Kurdistan region, after accusing the Kurdish parties to bring hundreds of thousands of Kurdish population of the city to change its demographic identity, Saddam Hussein also brought others hundreds of thousands of Arab population in the seventies and eighties of the last century within the policy of Arabization, which applied in those areas at the time.

Abadi wants to fight 140 but I think he needs to give in.

[mylilpony]

The only way they could change this is if they amended the constitution and had a referendum voted on by the whole country. I think if they chose that route it would not only cause more sectarianism but i dont think the people would go for it.

The "disputed" areas ... the first crises awaiting the new Iraqi parliament

 

Baghdad Zeid Salem

30 April 2018

 

 

The deportation of the disputed areas between Baghdad and Erbil  to the next parliament, scheduled for birth a few weeks from now, necessarily means that the first crises awaiting parliament related to Article 140 of the Constitution on the determination of the fate of these areas. Kurdish officials have vowed to open the disputed territories after the formation of parliament and government after the May elections And push for the implementation of Article 140 of the Constitution, while officials in Baghdad want to amend the article and the abolition of the term of disputed areas, on the grounds that the control of these areas and management by the federal government is a matter of settlement, and any of those towns is no less important than Baghdad or Najaf or Falluja. The "disputed" areas form a strip of more than 1,000 kilometers extending from the border with Syria to the Iranian border, with an area of about 48,000 km. This strip passes through the three autonomous governorates of Erbil, Sulaymaniyah and Dohuk, which includes land in Nineveh, Erbil, Salah al-Din and Diyala governorates, as well as the province of Kirkuk, the latter being the richest by containing oil.These areas are particularly important, with about a third of Iraqi oil, as well as large gas fields, other than border areas with Turkey and Iran of a commercial nature.

"  Kurdish forces want to apply Article 140 of the Constitution on the determination of the fate of these areas  "

Historically, the majority of these areas have Arab origins, either Christian or Islamic, but have changed over the past century due to Kurdish immigration from Iranian and Turkish border areas. These include Syria, which is also neighboring Iraq, most of them mountainous. A mixture of Iraqi and Iraqi ethnic groups, Arabs, Kurds, Turkmen, Muslims and Christians is currently living in these areas.

The Constitution, adopted in 2005, through Article 140, to determine the formula to resolve the fate of mixed areas, which says Erbil that it is Kurdish or a Kurdish majority, to organize a census of the population and then hold a referendum allows the population there between staying under the authority of the central state or introversion Under the administration of Kurdistan. But the article was not implemented because of political problems and accusations from Baghdad to Erbil to carry out demographic changes in their favor and the expulsion of Arab Muslims and Christians and the resettlement of Kurds from areas within the Kurdistan region in the disputed areas. Baghdad insists that the territory of Kurdistan will remain until 2003, the main or the so-called Green Line, which is the borders of the three governorates of Kurdistan, Erbil, Dohuk and Sulaymaniyah administrative, while the areas that include the Kurdish component outside the borders of the region known under the administration of the federal government including Kirkuk, The administrative borders of the provinces of Nineveh, Diyala and Salahuddin.
 

Although Erbil was included in the referendum it organized to secede from Iraq in 2017, the massive military campaign launched by Baghdad with the participation of tens of thousands of soldiers and air cover led to the expulsion of Kurdish forces (Peshmerga) in mid-October last year Of the majority of those areas and their return to the 2003 borders.

"  The disputed areas constitute a strip of more than 1,000 kilometers extending from the border with Syria to the Iranian border  "

Baghdad imposed its authority on these areas four years after the seizure of Erbil after an invasion calling for Iraq, by authorizing the Iraqi parliament to Prime Minister Haider Abadi about this military move, which also included hundreds of oil wells and gas fields in that region.

And experiencing these regions weeks ago significant tension , with the proximity of the parliamentary elections, amid statements by Kurdish politicians about being pressured by the "popular crowd" forces and deny the recent so.

A senior Kurdish official in Erbil, who has held a cabinet post in Nuri al-Maliki's government, says there is a plot already hatched in Baghdad for the next parliament. "Sunni and Shiite Arabs, as well as Christians in the Nineveh Plain, will challenge the Kurds as usual in such cases, and there is agreement on the disputed areas," he said. "We are trying to form a committee from now on to prepare for this file legally and in front of international forums," said the Kurdish official, who declined to be named. "The Sunni and Shiite forces agreed that the criterion for defining the affinity of these areas would be the 1998 census, under the pretext that Erbil carried out major demographic changes in those areas and wanted us to return to Saddam Hussein's borders," he said.

In the context, confirms the leadership in the Kurdistan Democratic Party, led by former provincial president Massoud Barzani, Najiba Najib, that "the Kurdish parties, especially the ruling now in Kurdistan, will work during the next parliamentary phase to apply Article 140 of the Iraqi constitution, and address the file of the joint administration of disputed areas on her". And draws in the interview with the "new Arab", that "the next parliament will go towards the application of the article and its implementation after the long period of freezing the movement of Kurdish forces in the areas adjacent to the region." It warns that "without activating this article, the disputed areas will not enjoy security, political and economic stability."

For his part, says a member of the legal committee in the Iraqi parliament, Sadiq al-Laban, "The government's decision on Article 140, constitutional and flawless If the Kurds open the file of this article in parliament for reading or take new action on areas that the government seeks The law will be the rule, and through it we can satisfy the Kurds or convince them that what they want is illegal. " Al-Labban said in an interview with "The New Arab" that "things are fraught with time, the steps of the Iraqi components in the next stage may change or develop." No one knows the direction of the Kurds in the next stage, but what we know is that the law will apply and will be above all. Baghdad's decision to deploy its military forces in the Iraqi areas belonging to Article 140 is constitutional and not to be wrong. "

In parallel, the representative of the Arab component in the local council in Kirkuk, Borhan al-Asi, refuses to return the Kurdish Peshmerga forces to his city. "The Kurdish forces entered Kirkuk and the disputed areas when the Iraqi state was weak, and the terrorist groups messed with the local security, and came to protect the Kurdistan region and not to protect Iraqi areas," he said. "The social situation in Kirkuk currently does not accept the idea of returning Peshmerga to it, and even the rest of the areas such as Sinjar and another in the province of Salah al-Din." He pointed out that "Kirkuk according to the Iraqi constitution is Iraqi, and no place for the central non-federal authority represented by Baghdad and its decisions, both in terms of security or political."
