New Iraqi govt. will be formed soon, Iranian ambassador

August 17, 2010 - 07:28:09

BAGHDAD / Aswat al-Iraq: The Iranian ambassador to Iraq has expressed optimism that a new Iraqi government will be formed in the near future, according to the Tehran Times.

The formation of a new government in Iraq is a necessity, and efforts are being made to facilitate the process, Ambassador Hassan Danaiifar said.

He said that it is likely that a new government will be formed by the end of the lunar month of Ramadan, which will occur on September 9 or 10, depending on the sighting of the new moon.

The ambassador stated that Iran and Iraq have good political relations and are making efforts to boost their economic ties.

An Iranian delegation visited Bagdad last week to negotiate with the Iraqis over various joint oil and gas projects and a committee was set up to oversee the technical aspects of the projects, he added.

Most excellent post!!! Think of the timeline...Government in place by Sept 9 or 10, RV/RI by Sept 15, ISX by Oct 31. Only thing I don't like is the "various oil and gas projects". But, after RV/RI I don't even care about ISX.
