Salehy quoted Talabani as saying: “a special law must be promulgated by the Iraqi
Parliament in this respect, and I shall support your (Turkomen) demands in the
parliament, and become the leading defender of Turkomen, to grant them a leading
state position, because they have suffered enough, and more than others.”
He said the Turkomen Legislatures, who met the President had been six, representing
the Turkomen Front, from al-Iraqiya Coalition, three from the National Alliance and the
other from “Iraqiyoun List.”
Turkomen, the third national community after the Arabs and Kurds, exist in Ninewa,
Kirkuk, Diala, Erbil and Baghdad, and the leading Turkomen political parties in Iraq are:
the Iraqi Turkomen Front, the Islamic Union of Iraq’s Turkomen, the Turkomen Justic
Party, the Turkomen Homeland Party, the Support Movement for Iraq’s Turkomen, the
Turkomen Islamic Movement, the Turkomen Eli Party and others. (Aswat Al Iraq)
The Legislature from the National Alliance, Ali al-Kurdi, has charged the current Iraqi
Parliament with having inherited the violations of the previous parliament, including
failure to hold MPs absent from the parliament sessions accountable.
“The current Parliament has inherited the violations of the previous parliament,
including failure to hold MPs absent from the parliament sessions accountable,” Kurdi
told Aswat al-Iraq news agency, calling on the new parliament speaker to “prove the
potential to practice the parliament’s internal system on all MPs, including the leaders of
political blocs.”
“The parliament’s current debates are not taking place in a competant and genuine form,
due to act that its committees had not been formed yet and the new internal system had
not been accomplished,” he noted, calling for the discussion of the MPs salaries and
other topics, upon the completion of the said committees.
