Tayfour criticizes sides object granting key posts for Kurds

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) The Deputy Speaker, Arif Tayfour, assured that there are sides that do not believe in citizenship and dream of restoring Baath Party back.

Earlier, MP, Aliya Nusayif, of the Hurra Iraqiya Coalition called to replace the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hoshyar Zebari, by another figure from the Arab community.

In a statement received by IraqiNews.com, Tayfour said “It is unfortunate to recognize that some sides within the political process are chauvinists and do not believe in partnership and citizenship.”

“Such sides object assuming key posts like the Presidency or the FM posts by the Kurds forgetting that Iraq currently is for all communities,” he added.

“No one can deny the role of all the communities in building the country,” he remarked.

“All sides know well the value of the sacrifices presented by the Kurds to preserve the dignity and freedom of all citizens so they have the right of assuming such posts as granted by the constitution,” he concluded.
