ERBIL-Hewlêr, Kurdistan region 'Iraq', —
Shutting down the representative office of the
Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in Baghdad is
"illegal and unconstitutional" and Baghdad should
justify this step, said a member of the Kurdistan
Blocs Coalition (KBC) at the Iraqi Council of
Representative.
On Wednesday Baghdad government closed down the KRG
office in the General Secretariat of the Iraqi
Council of Ministers, claiming that the office is
"illegal" and Baghdad and KRG can talk directly not
through a representative office. KRG representative
to Baghdad Mohammed Ehsan refuted the claim,www.ekurd.net
saying the office was founded on legal basis.
Deputy head of KBC Mohsen Saadun said the decision
by Baghdad is "unconstitutional and illegal because
the KRG representation is not new in Baghdad.
"It is seven years this representation is
coordinating between Iraq and the regional
governments ….. This decision is… improper."
The official added after the parliamentary recess,
the KBC will meet with Ehsan and discuss the reason
for closing down his office.
"The Iraqi government should clarify closing down
the KRG office because this is an official
representation and has committed no violations,"
Saadun said.
