The IS MP said “There is no difference between the two terms except if the IS gets guarantees concerning the implementation of Erbil convention and lifting of mines placed in the way the National Meeting represented by the case of Vice President Tariq al-Hashimi and the subject of the Deputy Prime Minister Saleh al-Mutlaq.”
