Meeting between Maliki, Allawi symbolic – source

BAGHDAD / IraqiNews.com: The meeting between Nouri al-Maliki, head of the Dawlat al-Qanoon Alliance, and Ayad Allawi, head of the Al-Iraqiya Alliance is going to be symbolic, member of the Dawlat al-Qanoon Alliance said on Monday. “The meeting is going to be symbolic, and will change nothing in the political process,” Hanan al-Fatlawi told IraqiNews.com news agency. She said that the meeting does not deserve the media interest, because the coming prime minister of Iraq will be named by the coalition between the Dawlat al-Qanoon Alliance and Iraqi National Alliance (INA), not the Al-Iraqiya Alliance. “The meeting will not be practical, and will be just a courtesy,” al-Fatlawi noted.
