ERBIL-Hewlêr,
Kurdistan region 'Iraq', — The issues between the
Baghdad and Erbil governments over the Peshmarga
(Kurdistan borders guards) requires political and
legal solutions and the media should not intensify
the tension over these issues, said a spokesman for
the Ministry of Peshmarga.
"We demand the media not to blow up any statement as
a topic so that it does not end up against the
Kurds," said Jabbar Yawar.
The official said recently there were reports that
alleged by virtue of article 78 of the Iraqi
constitution that the Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki
demanded the Kurdistan Peshmarga forces be merged
with and controlled by the Iraqi Army Commander.
"But this isn't true and we haven't received any
official statements about this," Yawar said.
At the same time, Yawar said, one cannot generalize
the statements by some members of the PM's State of
Law Coalition as the general stance of the party or
of a particular MP.
"We regard the constitution of the federal Iraq as
the basis and criterion for settling our issues,"
said Yawar.
He added that considering the current state of
affairs in Iraq, one should understand "we are
undergoing a sensitive stage and all the Kurdish
media should deal with the events, especially issues
of Peshmarga, with responsibility.
"As now the political meetings are undergoing, and
provoking some topics will not be in the interest of
the Kurds."
