appointing a new committee to replace the former
committee concerned with the implementation of
article number 140 of the Iraqi permanent
constitution that seeks to normalize the situation

the Iraqi media outlets announcing that the Iraqi
premier Noori Al-Maliki had appointed a new
committee headed by a Turkoman in origin to
implement article number 140 in Kirkuk.
“We have not yet received any written official
document certifying the reported change. Besides,

such can not be done unilaterally by the council of
ministers; it requires the agreement of all Iraqi
parties.” Ali said adding” We as the provisional
council of Kirkuk oppose decisions as such without
our prior notice or consulting with us.”
