Baghdad, -- Iraqi President Jalal Talabani on
Saturday expressed his "full" support of Iraqi PM
Nouri al-Maliki on the efforts exerted to impose
security and law during their first meeting since
the week-long major crackdown on Basra.
Talabani applauded "the responsible stand and the
outstanding role played by the PM to impose security
and law," said a presidential office statement
received by VOI.
The announcement added "the two officials agreed to
call on the executive council and the political
council for national security to convene and
activate their roles."
The Iraqi Constitution stipulates ruling Iraq is a
shared responsibility between Iraqi prime minister
and three-member presidency board along with
parliament,www.ekurd.net
though most of executive
authorities are at the hand of the premier. |
