ERBIL-Hewlęr,
Kurdistan region 'Iraq', — The Kurdish forces [Peshmerga]
spokesman said on Sunday that the U.S. withdrawal
will create a security vacuum in the disputed areas
between Baghdad and Erbil.
Jabbar Yawar told Aswat al-Iraq that the vacuum will
be in areas like Diala, Mosul, Tikrit and Kirkuk.
"Article 140 of the constitution has not been
implemented up until now to determine the destiny of
these areas," he added.
"There is a U.S. division of 15,000 soldiers that
helps the Iraqi and Region's forces to preserve
security and collaborate in joint security
check-points," he added. |

"There is work to make the three-party joint forces
(U.S., Iraqi and Peshmerga) into two-party work
(Iraqi and Peshmerga) in the common check points",
he elaborated.
The United Nations called for more dialogues and to
encourage reaching compromises on disputed areas to
contribute in establishing a state of stability in
the country.
According to Article 140 of the constitution, the
disputed areas between Baghdad and Erbil should be
implemented in three stages: normalization,
population census and referendum to determine its
destiny, but all these steps were delayed.
It was decided that the U.S. forces will be drawn
from Iraq by the end of this year, according to the
security agreement signed between the two countries,www.ekurd.netwhich
lead to arising fears in Iraq that there will be a
security deterioration due to the non-preparedness
of the Iraqi forces, in addition to Kurdish fears on
the disputed areas between Baghdad and Erbil, mostly
in Kirkuk and adjacent areas of Mosul.
