KURDISH LIST AGREES TO POSTPONE IMPLEMENTATION OF ARTICLE 140

Sami al-Askari, member of Iraqi parliament and advisor to the Iraqi prime minister, said that Iraqi government has reached an agreement with Kurdistan Alliance to postpone the implementation of article 140 of the Iraqi constitution. "The Kurdistan Alliance has sort of agreed to delay the implementation of article 140 that calls for normalizing the situation in the city (Kirkuk)," Askari said and he believed that, "This article can not be implemented now, because it has a deadline that ends in the end of 2007."

Askari said that some factions have suggested to postpone the implementation for one year and other factions have asked for a longer time under the current circumstance. This might be supported by the United Nation that will supervise the referendum in the province if it confirms that the organization can not do it.
