Kirkuk,
Kurdistan-Iraq, October 25,-- Turkumani Akha'a Party
expressed support for the execution of Article 140
in the permanent Iraqi constitution
In a conference in the city of Kirkuk, the Turkumani
Akha'a Party expressed support for the execution of
Article 140 in the permanent Iraqi constitution,
which is related to the normalization of Kirkuk's
situation, local media reported last week.
"We stressed our support for the execution of
Article 140 in order to become a message for those
who stand against its execution," said Waleed
Sharika, Secretary General of the Party, who was
attempting to explain the main aim of the
conference.
The Governor of Kirkuk governorate, representatives
of the two main Kurdish parties of the Kurdistan
Democratic Party and the Patriotic Union of
Kurdistan, and a number of poets and writers from
various ethnic backgrounds read articles in their
own language stressing the positive implications of
the meeting on the future of their city.

The former Iraqi president forced about 250,000
Kurdish residents to give up their homes to Arabs in
the 1970s,
to "Arabize" the city and the region's oil industry.
Kirkuk city is not under the full control of
Kurdistan Regional Government administration. A
referendum is to be held in late 2007 to decide
whether the oil-rich Kurdish province should be
annexed to the safe semiautonomous Kurdistan region
in Iraq's north.
