Al-Mufti: Kurds Are the Backbone of Iraqi Unity
(Asharq Al-Awsat)
Kurdistan Regional Government parliament speaker
Adnan al-Mufti, said that Kurds, their political
forces and their government organizations play an
important role in keeping Iraq unified. He said
Kurds have chosen federalism (rather than
independence) by their own free will. Mufti
maintained that if terrorism is defeated, there
might be a good possibility to build a democratic
Iraq based on equality and love, and Kurds would be
proud to participate in the country. He maintained
that the Kurdish people's hopes can be achieved
through federalism and denied any intention of Kurds
to split from Iraq.

want to be reincorporated into Iraqi Kurdistan.) He

Thirty People Connected to Drugs Arrested in
Sulaimaniyah
(Hawlati)
In the last month, nearly 30 people have been arrested in connection with
trading and using drugs by security forces in
Sulaimaniyah and the town of Tawela. Among them were
a number of artists, headmasters, teachers and
health employees.
Security officials believe that the phenomenon of
using and trading in drugs is increasing and they
believe the drugs are coming from Iran.

Saleh: Government Worried about the Situation in
Basra (Al-Taakhi)
Deputy prime minister Barham Saleh said on Monday
that the government was worried about the wave of
violence that has recently overwhelmed Basra. He
said prime minister Nuri al-Maliki sent envoys to
Basra to calm the escalating confrontations between
rival groups. According to Saleh, the government
acknowledged that that the problems were not severe
in Basra, but leaders wanted to take preventative
measures to contain the crisis. (The violence) in
Basra is similar to what is happening in the rest of
Iraq, he added.
