Baghdad, -- Iraqi Vice President Tareq al-Hashimi
called on relocated families in the province of
Sulaimaniyah in Kurdistan region 'northern Iraq' to
return to their original dwellings in Baghdad after
security improvements witnessed in the capital
recently.
Hashimi "underlined the need for the displaced
families to return to their homes in Baghdad, where
remarkable security improvement was witnessed
lately," according to a statement by Hashimi's
office.
Hashimi made his calls during a visit to a camp
hosting scores of relocated families in the Kurdish
province of Sulaimaniyah,www.ekurd.net
Kurdistan's cultural
capital.
Iraq has seen a large-scale of displacement from
areas and cities where security conditions were
deteriorating to the cities in the Iraqi Kurdistan
region in pursuit of security.
Aggravating security conditions, particularly after
the bombing of a holy shrine in Samarra city, Salah
al-Din province, in February 2006, also forced
hundreds of thousands of Iraqis to move to
neighboring Syria and Jordan.
Hashimi also visited the Kurdistan Social Club,
where he met Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, Deputy
Premier Barham Saleh, Deputy Prime Minister of the
Iraqi Kurdistan Region Omar Fattah,www.ekurd.net
the chief of the Kurdish
Coalition (KC) bloc in the Iraqi parliament Fouad
Masoum and a number of officials, the statement
noted.
The KC is the second largest bloc in the Iraqi
parliament with 55 out of a total 275 seats.
