4 Kurdish parties propose to reform regional government

January 10, 2009 ARBIL / Aswat al-Iraq:

Four Kurdish parties on Saturday submitted a project that embraces political and economic reformations in state institutes in the Kurdistan region.

This came during a press conference when the four parties also suggested a shape for the relations between the region and Baghdad.“We demand that the ruling system in the region be reformed,” Fatah Zakhoiee told Aswat al-Iraq news agency.“The president of the region should be able to do his job, as is the case in other countries allover the world,” he said.“We demand to minimize the number of ministerial posts in the region,” he added.

The project stresses the necessity of the Kurdish political leadership “adopting a realistic policy to frame relations and alliances with Iraqi political parties.”
