Talabani not able to settle crisis alone, says Khudhari

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) MP, Hamid al-Khudari, of the Citizen bloc confirmed that “The President, Jalal Talabani, is not able to settle the political crisis alone.”

He stated to Iraqi News (IraqiNews.com) “No doubts that Talabani has his effect on the progress of the political process due to his post as a President and protector for the constitution.”

“Talabani was in the country two months ago while the crisis was there and now we must not depend extremely on his return from the medical treatment abroad because the settlement of the crisis needs real will from the political blocs especially the major blocs,” he added.

“Talabani must be supported by the blocs to hold the meeting of the round table which the head of the Supreme Iraqi Islamic Council, Ammar al-Hakim, called for previously,” he stressed.

“We still emphasize the necessity of holding the national dialogue but all sides should have genuine intentions to solve the disputes to accomplish the national interests,” he concluded.

Iraq witnesses political crisis lasted for several months due to the disputes among the political sides related to the partnership and other issues which led some blocs to call for withdrawing confidence from the Premier, Nouri al-Maliki, after holding meetings in Najaf and Erbil provinces.
