"The two sides will
discuss ways to accelerate the formation of the next
government," pointing out that "Kurdistan Alliance
will keep all doors open to all winning blocs to
discuss with them the issue of forming the
government."
The leaders of Kurdistan Alliance have announced
that they would form a negotiating team, heading to
Baghdad after the certification of the Federal Court
on the election results. The negotiations between
all political parties didn't witness any convergence
of views and the crisis is still continuing without
any progress after the certification of the Federal
Court on the results of general elections.
Al-Maliki's visit to Kurdistan Region comes few days
before the Federal Court ratify on the results and
this is a pre-emptive move for the delegation for
negotiations on the territory of the Region.
"The second objective of the visit is to discuss the
Turkish-Iranian shelling on Kurdish villages," he
added.
Falah Mustafa, an official at the Foreign Relations
Department in Kurdistan Region said earlier that:
"The visit aims to hold talks about the formationof
the the new government to get out of the crisis
which dominates the scene since the Iraqi elections
held on March 7."
According to the interpretation of the Federal Court
of the term "the largest parliamentary bloc," which
will be assigned to form a government, as in Article
76 of the Iraqi Constitution, it is either the bloc
that was formed after the elections by one electoral
list and had participated in the elections in a
certain name and number,www.ekurd.netand
had earned the most number of seats, or the bloc
that was made by allying two or more than two
electoral lists, which participated in the elections
with different names and numbers and then united in
a single block with a single entity in the
Parliament .
The debate now is over: who is authorized to form
the next government, while Al-Iraqiya bloc confirms
its right, based on Article 76 of the Constitution,
while the two Shiite alliances insist on this right
based on the interpretation of the Federal Court,
Under this interpretation, the alliance between the
State of Law and the Iraqi National Alliance (INA),
which was announced May 4th ultimo, has better
opportunity to form the government.
State of Law and National coalitions allied formally
on May 4 and after the alliance have 159 seats, four
seats less than the majority needed to form the
government, including 89 for the State of Law and 70
for the Iraqi National Alliance.
The Iraqi parliamentary elections were held on the
7th of March, and the results of the elections were
announced on the 26th: they showed the progress of
Iraqiya List led by former Prime Minister Iyad
Allawi, by gaining 91 seats, followed by the State
of Law coalition led by outgoing Prime Minister Nuri
Al-Maliki with 89 seats, while the Iraqi National
List coalition won 70 seats and Kurdistan Alliance
List came in the fourth place by obtaining 43 seats.
