Aram Sheikh Mohammed calls the Speaker to give an opportunity to representatives of the province of Kirkuk to negotiate and consult to solve problems
Aram Sheikh Mohammed, in today’s session of the Council of Representatives, requested a chance and a space of time to be given to representatives of the province of Kirkuk to to negotiate and consult and hold meetings to reach understandings and solutions appropriate to the problems and issues rather than escalating positions. The request was based on the submission of a request from some MPs to present the issue of the dissolution of Kirkuk Governorate Council.
Sheikh Mohammed added in his speech, “Unfortunately there has been a number of requests regarding the issues of the dissolved Revolutionary Command Council in Kirkuk which to date have not been submitted to the Council and has not been voted on. So, it is necessary to stay away from escalation and instead resort to dialogic language to calm the situation. We call today the Iraqi Council of Representatives to contribute in creating the suitable atmosphere, giving a chance to representatives of Kirkuk to reach solutions to the problems that the city suffers from.
