Has been Iraqi Vice-President adel Abdul Mahdi to come to the House of Representatives about three weeks ago to urge deputies to exercise their role and contribute to the formation of the government, culminated in an attempt the convening of "mini-The first" Last Sunday, in the presence of about 20 MPs from all winning lists, with no clear coalition members "the rule of law," Partners "Iraqi National Coalition" to which he belongs, Abd Al Mahdi in what has come to be known as the " National Alliance."

The vice president said, who met him "an-Nahar" in the corridors of the House of Representatives on the sidelines of the meeting on Sunday: that it is the right of the House of Representatives and the Iraqi people that "understand where is the political process, and how things are in the corridors secret, Undeclared negotiations", assuring that the House of Representatives is the highest authority in the country. And " ignoring its role under the pretext of negotiations between the Blocs is not correct."

He said Abdul-Mahdi, who is the candidate of "National Coalition" to head the government that in the event of the failure of "National Coalition" to put forward one candidate for prime minister, "Iraqi List" will remain is the great mass of qualified to form the government.

Here is the text of the interview:

• About three weeks ago and you مواظب to come to the House of Representatives to urge members to attend and their role in the issue of the formation of the government, that effort culminated in a mini-meeting today (Sunday). Do you think that it is worth the trouble?

-Something more than I thought. I had a vision, meaning that this may stimulate public opinion and some brothers and sisters in the House of Representatives, but it is now, especially with today's meeting, he moved the situation specific to anything else. All Blocs have become adopt this initiative, and that is a good thing and think in a loud voice solutions to overcome the crisis. In the past this was منقطعا, in the sense that it does not reach the other, or to the media or to the corridors of the House of Representatives.

I think it is a good step and effective. That to keep the movement in the hands of the only, and the convening of the House of Representatives, in which a lack. Therefore, we call for the convening of meetings of the House of Representatives.

• Says that all Blocs agree to this initiative, while we see a clear absence of "coalition of the rule of law," شركائكم in “ National Alliance ”?

-They are on this subject, and I read a statement a member of the rule of law, in Iraqi newspapers, says that this initiative was the operation did not open prospects around it. I do not know if authorized the statement or not? I don't know how in the process.

The right of the House of Representatives and the Iraqi people to understand where is the political process, and how things are in the corridors of confidentiality in negotiations-and, I think that the responsibility today is to enter the Houses of their doors, and the House of Representatives is the highest authority in the country, the highest constitutional from power.

Ignoring its role under the pretext of negotiations between the Blocs is not true. Blocs can Negotiation must be negotiated, but this should not prevent the members of the House of Representatives to take their role. Particular elected deputy on behalf, not elected through the closed lists, and the constitutional oath in person, and will vote in his capacity as an individual, and vote, contrary to the desire of the list, the list is important and should be maintained, but the first loyalty is to the people, not لكتلته or his party.

What he says is true Allawi

• This is very true from the theoretical point of view, but from a practical point of view everyone knows that the Iraqi political scene is dominated by a few political leaders?

-We want to change this الشيء, we emerged from the experience of the governed by one person, if you used to say that the test, is 15 people, it is certainly better than one person. We want to get out of the control of persons to the control of the People's Deputies, but I am not inclined to hold the only the only responsible for what is going on.

And I support that is separation between the head of وقائمته, but I try to arrange the priorities, and the primacy of deputy is the interests of its people.

• Are talking about the relationship between the coalition, "Iraqi National" and "the rule of law," My question is: what he wants الائتلافان, one of them from the other?

-You know that الائتلافين got out of a single coalition, like any political movement when they are united, still there are links links exist, both of whom are connected to the political one, these things keep pressure could not be disposed of on the individual. There are differences of opinion, right, but الائتلافين want to form a large bloc. There was a similar crisis in 2005, but because they were closer to the majority, it was understanding, including easier.

• Two days ago to the leader of the "Iraqi List" Iyad Allawi, الائتلافين المنضويين under the sign "National Coalition" responsible for the delay the formation of the government?

•, Iyad Allawi, what he says is true, that the alliance, he wanted to be the bloc must reach a candidate for the presidency of the government so far has not reached that.

If did not reach an agreement to keep the Iraqi bloc is the major powers, will remain the Iraqi bloc without a candidate for the National Alliance, is the major bloc as it is known, unconstitutional.

• There are those who speak about a scenario that all candidates for the prime minister will go to the House of Representatives will be the one to choose a candidate through the voting?

-Could not go with all the candidates to the House of Representatives, but can go to the بمرشحيها to the political forces and obtain their consent.

• Was "National Coalition" two candidates, may contribute to solve matters or the opposite?

-Now there are two candidates, either to give up one of them or to win one of them. In short, if reached one candidate will be an important step.

• Talked about ceding one of the candidates, are you willing to give up?

-I have no problem in this direction, it several times, ساتنازل, if any, in the interest of not just to give up, but we have to be in order to be behind him in the interest of government was set up to a successful conclusion.

A clear endorsement of Blocs

• Is it true that you have the support of blocs "Iraqi" and "Kurdish coalition"?

-There is support in principle the first of a clear majority may exceed two thirds.

• Of "National Coalition" or "iraqi" and the Kurds?

-Within the National Coalition and other blocs, get a clear endorsement of these Blocs, Constitute, in fact, the majority of two thirds. But this is a step the first and fundamental, and there were negotiations must be held, which will determine whether the parties agree to be their candidate Adel Abdul Mahdi or not.

• Whether "National Coalition" and "Iraqi List" Kurds agree, why not تتركون "the rule of law," وتؤلفون of the government?

-I said that this depends on the negotiations, and there are opposed, even among the same lists, which the bloc might run counter to what was the other demands, the question is how to reconcile these demands, the matter is not resolved as soon as to desire, or public support, but after public support operation comes in to go into the details, the practical as possible to support a reality.

• If agreed blocks "National Coalition" and "Iraqi" and "Kurdish coalition" on the formation of the government, would necessarily have to be the prime minister of "National Coalition"?

-No, not necessarily the Constitution does not specify the prime minister, and it is possible that the prime minister would be out of all these lists, and a candidate for the prime minister any citizen Saleh meets the conditions provided for by the constitution.

• Not incompatible with the "semi-the Shiite", which says that the prime minister must go and Islamic Shiite figure in particular?

-No, but others admit this, the Shiite majority in Iraq, normal to get the prime minister, the truth is political and demographic ruling.

•, Iyad Allawi, a Shiite, but persona non grata among Shiite powers to the presidency of the government?

-Allawi was our prime minister in the first phase, we دعمناه often was not this is the title, before the elections, we went to belong to Iraqi National Coalition, and there are voices emerged from the coalition to nominate Allawi.

In any elections there a certain balance governing the country, not because the person belongs only to a certain sect.

Do not deny that Iraq's sectarian rule over the past decades, is the sectarian, and from this situation to a new one will take time, and today the elections more open than 2005 elections both sectarian.

• Progress to see the Kurds to form the government and participate in the coming stage, consisting of 19 items, and they say we will give our voices of or the person who is US that vision, what do you think of that?

-The essence of most Kurdish issues properly, but also said his excellency President Jalal Talabani, that the paper put forward for negotiations. Yes, say that Article 140 of the constitution concerning Kirkuk, non-negotiable, according to other blocks that they have papers to be non-negotiable, but paper responsible and try to provide a certain vision of the interests of the region and the homeland.
