Change Movement rejects informal participation in Baghdad negotiations

ARBIL / IraqiNews.com:  Kurdish Change Movement spokesman rejected today any “informal” participation in the talks made by the two governing parties with Baghdad, describing the Arbil agreement as “non-transparent” because the Movement did not participate in its formulation. Spokesman Shaho Saeed told IraqiNews.com that the “Movement did not participate in the negotiations between Baghdad and Arbil, because it was only with the two governing parties of Kurdistan.” “The two parties want us to participate informally, but we do not want this role,” he added. “The Change Movement wants relations with Baghdad to be institutional between the elected circles in the region and the federal government in Baghdad,” Saeed confirmed. The Kurdish delegation left Baghdad announcing the success of the negotiations with Baghdad government and other political circles. The delegation confirmed their demands for the implementation of Article 140 of the constitution. RM (TI)/SR Number of Reads:74
