POLITICS: Iraq’s White Bloc charges GCC with attempts to prevent holding of Arab Summit in Baghdad

BAGHDAD / IraqiNews.com: Iraq’s so-called “White Bloc’s” Legislature, Alia Nusief has charged the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) with “striving to prevent the holding of the next Arab Summit in Baghdad, due to Iraq’s balanced attitude towards some Arab states, including Syria.” “Iraq’s taking a similar distance towards all Arab states is not to the liking of some of the GCC‘s member-states, thing that made them exert efforts behind curtains to prevent holding the Arab Summit in Baghdad next March,” Nusief  said in a statement, carried by her Media office on Thursday. She said that “the balanced attitude by Iraq towards the Syrian crisis had been one of the reasons that made the GCC refuse “the idea of Iraq’s return to play its leading role in the Pan-Arab decision-making.”
