Thread: Iraq/Dinar News to April 19, 2007 10PM CST

I was looking on the ISX website and found this, it's dated March 25, 2007. Has anyone heard about this? If so, how will this affect the RV?

Foreign Investment in Iraq: Now you see it now you don’t, March 25 2007
Efforts to inject life into the small Iraqi bourse, the Iraq Stock Exchange, ISX, seem to have stalled again. According to informed sources, recently announced plans to open the exchange to foreigners will not take place in the near future despite the enacted foreign investment law. The small manually operated stock exchange which was opened June 2004 has been trying since to allow foreign investors to bye and sell sock of some 80 listed small companies in the exchange
.
Despite recent proclamations by the chief executive officer of the exchange to the effect that procedures have been agreed upon to regulate the process, our sources say that many unresolved difficulties are more then likely to delay the much awaited opening up plan for quite some time.

Informed opinion say that the circulated procedures are crafted in such a way to make foreign investment in the ISX highly difficult and if adopted these procedures will repel foreign investors rather then encourage them. Venturing into the ISX is already a very risky proposition because the infant capital market of Iraq is highly unstable due to the ongoing war and the uncertainty of the future of the whole country itself. Non Iraqi investors are to provide a long list of documentary evidence of their status before they can enter the market, according to the circulated procedures. The procedures, according to one broker, are cumbersome, expensive and time consuming.

Moreover there are other more serious caveats. Careful reading of the Investment Law which was passed by parliament late 2006 shows that most articles of the law speak about regulation of direct foreign investment, that is investment in factories, agriculture etc. Such investments will be fully protected by the state of Iraq against nationalization and will be afforded tax perks for up to 10 years. Foreign investors are guaranteed the ability to take their profits out of the country at free will. But to benefit from such privileges and to be able to enter Iraq in the first place, the investor needs a license from a newly created Commission which oversees the process.

In only one odd article does the foreign investment law allude to investment in the financial markets of Iraq where it says foreign investors are allowed to buy and sell shares in the Iraq Stock Exchange. It does not say however, whether those wanting to invest in the ISX need or do not need, the prior license of the Investment Commission. It makes one wonder whether those who do invest in the capital market can freely take their money in and out of Iraq via the banking the system? Regulations of the Central Bank of Iraq are very cumbersome when it comes to taking out of Iraq any some of money in excess of $10,000.

Brokers who met the chairman of the Iraqi Securities Commission, the regulatory body that overseas the work of the ISX, last Thursday, say they went out of the meeting with the distinct impression that opening up the exchange to foreign investment will not happen any time in the near future. Among the many floating ideas in the meeting, one suggested that without automation and a central depository system, it was futile to make a hasty move of opening the exchanger for foreign traders. Concerns about money laundering were also raised, in addition to concerns about the security of the brokers who handle foreign traders. Foreign investment is seen suspiciously by many in Iraq, especially those who grew up in a closed culture of the old regime. Some say that foreign investment is tantamount to selling the assets of Iraq on the cheap. Similar concerns have strongly been raised about the yet to be enacted oil law which for the first time removes the monopoly of the state over oil exploration and development projects.

Comments on the draft bill reconciliation and accountability
Date : Wednesday, April 11
Topic : Main Page
Zuhair Kazem Aboud
The law abolishing the Baath agitated, and away from the substantive, and did not address the issue of Iraq and the Iraqi reality wisely law, which seeks to arrange rights and punish offenders and the prosecution wanted,
But confusion many of the issues that started floating on the surface and then modify and analyze necessary, until now all the political forces demanding the law be amended or accepted by him again, in spite of the amendments and procedures that were practiced, which was broken many mistakes and remote under texts more innocent and many Iraqis suffered any injustice, but the law still needs to be checked commensurate with the Iraqi situation with the Iraqi reality perfectly Iraqi political forces.
The draft law was put forward reconciliation and accountability to the law instead of abolishing the Baath Party, in order to discuss the idea and some of the provisions and proposals made by the project, we present our point of view in terms of paragraph accountability :
1 - the first paragraph of the draft law, which refers to retire all of a member of the branch and over without any consideration to whether his service in the Iraqi state or not, and thus will be given a favor to the members of the party branches in the regime them in retirement and access to pension rights, including equality he served the Iraqi state and transmit any other reason to retire without the right, and thus bring them legal status, it is assumed that the proposal to the words that he had legal service rewarding, just because he was a member of the leadership section of Ayateh truly Iraqi treasury, and that assignment did not the service is profitable and reached the legal age to the Social Welfare Act has no work there not able to work.
2-in the third paragraph supposed to commit crimes in the security services are by holders of the senior ranks of colonel and above security, according to the project, while the practical logic says the opposite in Iraq, it was the practice of torture, murder and abuse of Iraqis not necessarily the highest ranking , and the text of the project covers the crimes of the minimum elements of the security services, and the paragraph in question incompatible with the principle of accountability of the perpetrator of whatever rank or position of security.
3 - The exception workers in both the intelligence and military intelligence, not linked to the nature of their work lives of regular citizens, "says project which gained on the ground, as the two feminized intelligence and the intelligence organs of the national security organs of repression exercised its work in the abuse and killing of Iraqis, and to exempt Egd unjustified because of all the security agencies had exercised its role in the horrific torture and murder of Iraqis and prosecution, and the assassination of politicians Iraqis outside Iraq were held by the CIA.
Four-abolition of all rights resulting from these groups and determined by the regulations, orders and instructions issued at the time Saddam's regime, since the mere cancellation Awards and decorations for Aighi rights and benefits resulting from these groups because of what has been committed against Iraqis, and therefore the proposal to issue a bill abolishing those rights.
5-contained in the paragraphs that the project does not divert pension or grant each was a member "of the disbanded sent" at the time of the fall of the regime and has submitted a request for political asylum outside the country, it is known that the pension is payable pension either personally or for the relationship to his agent at the special powers, It will not be possible to create from outside Iraq naturalized citizen or resident or a refugee, and therefore the proposal to suspend the retirement pension upon notification from the Ministry of Finance, It is amusing to note that the Finance Ministry decided to suspend the payment of pensions opponents of the Saddam regime who were outside Iraq and the salaries of non-entitlement that period punish them while he was covered by chopping those receiving salaries and those interesting paradox where they had stopped the salaries of all retirees opponents who have only God in this new time, which required the right, justice and logic, to be disbursed financial benefits for all prove that Saddam's regime had deprived them stopped disbursement, and to all those who opposed the regime of Saddam. 6-in paragraph 8 of the project falls all exceptions and the rights and separated from the service for violating the honor each benefited from this law and subsequently shown to provide false information or return off one of the banned formations, or to help them, and calls for a judicial pay what Asthsalh rights and funds, and can retain the text of punishing prove that he gave false information in legal proceedings according to the death with its recovery obtained on the basis of the false information that, since the issue Khalal honor, a word meaning broad and far from specifically, the legal descriptions required. Paragraph forgiveness :
1 - The formation of a supreme body to fortify memory, and to strive to fortify future generations from falling again in the grip of tyranny and oppression and to instil the spirit of coexistence, reconciliation and civil peace, justice, equality and citizenship among Iraqis contrasts with the publication of a list of Baathists according to the eradication action in adopting this law, bringing a list of the names of all individuals those who were subjected to these measures, pointing out the degree of each individual and the date of the issuance of uprooting the Baath is relevant. And be retained in the archive of the dissolved Baath Party, because contribute to the development of social and educational programs that emphasize political pluralism, tolerance and equality is incompatible with the presence of those names published and unkept proven to be changed or lifted in spite of all the procedures spirit of coexistence, reconciliation and civil peace, justice, equality and citizenship among Iraqis contrario from the foundations of genuine national reconciliation to turn the page of the unsavory past, and the construction of Iraq is open to all Iraqis in labor determined to build a free and democratic society is far from sectarianism and racism, oppression and discrimination, exclusion and marginalization, according to the introduction.
2-to turn the page on the past to keep unkept those names etched in the annals declared in Iraqi cities, and inconsistent with the method of equal rights and obligations confirmed by the Constitution, and also incompatible with tolerance and the construction of a new Iraq based on democracy and the establishment of a civil state that has been afflicting all the people of Iraq without any discrimination , and as long as the methodology punishes the accused found guilty, as long as the accountability list and include all of the accused to be called to account in accordance with the legal standards, based on what the proposal to keep those names published from time to time, which makes a certain category not covered by paragraph legal accountability, but always accused of belonging the party disbanded, where remains of those names include children, and perhaps grandchildren without guilt and inconsistent with the principle that Atzer kind. .
The three-paragraph forgiveness must learn the meaning of tolerance, and came in San Arabs in the interview : God says : Allow for Abdi Kasmaha to Ebadi; Alasmah : language in the permit; allowed to say : Allow if serious and I on the kindness and generosity; said : but said in generosity allowed, or allow it said in the follow-up and bow; said : Ashmit itself if a whole had succumbed, and the first true; and allowed me ... she gave me any; and allowed me to do that allowed tolerance. Allow : Sameh and concurred on required.

Sustainable development of rural social protection of the environment in Iraq
Date : Wednesday, April 11
Topic : Main Page
D. The Hanoch
Sustainable development in rural areas, is a model of integration between ecology and the social and economic sciences, in the context of a new vision of anthropology. The new vision based on the methodology of keeping the balance between the components of the natural environment and social development. In the application, it focuses on a series of seminars, including basic maintenance on the sustainability of natural resources to face the population growth, and the rehabilitation of the population (as a social) in general and rural areas in particular to the protection of resources, and in the context of a Dimomitha University, believes the needs of current and future generations, we call sustainable development. The serious imbalance between the resources and the natural population growth leads to the retreat of absorptive capacity. thus turns population growth (especially for the rural population) to the burden on development, through low per capita income and its share of those resources, and food shortages and others. And the rural population, the first and most prominent victims of ecological and climatic changes through reduced biological diversity, and complexity of the traditional pattern in agriculture. If we add to this the low social life and the health and education of our countryside, it could be argued that all the elements of the infrastructure of rural development fragile and vulnerable. The deterioration of infrastructure in rural areas found reflection in the performance unstable and deteriorating production farmers and the protection of natural resources. The fluctuations in production and degradation of natural resources, leading to low income individuals and rural families, and thus weaken its economic contribution to the national income. The agricultural production constitutes one of the most prominent examples Oscillation (annual) in food resources. Current estimates indicate that the production of agricultural crops for 2006 was good, but some production in 1990, while the proportion of the Iraqi population had increased by 58 per cent during the past decade and a half. Permanent fluctuations of production parallel to the continuous rise of population growth imposes imposed expansion of the food imported goods become invoice handling the four billion dollars annually. declined in the agricultural sector's contribution to national income ranked third after industry (including oil) and services, and became increase of about 7.3%. All those factors is the justification for increasing migration from the countryside to the city.
Statistical data show that rates of migration from the rural areas were higher than the global rate almost doubled (global rate of one cent per annum) over the long decades of the last century. This latest happening distortions in the demographic composition of the population as in the data table.
Agenda : Percentage of the population in urban and rural areas, rural activists in 1990-2010
السنوات 1990 2000 2010 سكان cities 70 77 80
The rural population 30 23 20
Activists in rural areas (of the total activists) 15.7 10.3 6.3 Source : Food and Agriculture Organization International 2006

Increasing numbers of the population of Iraq during the second half of the twentieth century with accelerated, rising from 4.6 million in 1947 to about 26 million in 2005 is expected to exceed the population of 30 million at 2010. This means that population growth has increased more than six times, and changed the proportion of the urban population of about 30%, to more than 80% during the nearly six decades. Annual growth accelerated to the population (of between 4-2.5%), compared with growth rates for the production of food sources does not exceed 1% at best. And it has resulted in an imbalance between population growth and the decline of natural resources to the following phenomena :
One-size increase unemployment, and in particular to the younger generation due to the decline of development opportunities for the past decades
Two-increasing demand for food commodities and services (health, education, drinking water, municipal services, etc.) for twice the efficiency of the available potential three-urban expansion and urban encroachment on agricultural land, including cities to introduce further climatic influences. 4-low per capita natural resources, and increased competition and conflict over resources.
And to address the effects of population pressure that requires the development of an annual increase in investment income, consistent with the terms of the proportion of population growth, Moazat requirements for services for new residents. This type of investment does not achieve a rise in the standard of living, but it provides the minimum needs of the population. If Aghtrant high rates of population growth and weak spontaneous organization (as is prevalent in Iraq), they lead to crises and social service, political, and the stability and security to a variety of shocks faces. Iraq in less than half a century, moved from a rural society and craftsmen to the urban community, but lacks industry and the CST was open to individuals and generations of modern rehabilitation and provide appropriate work. Thus, a shift from relative affluence to a deficit. Data show that there are Iraqi countryside distinct phenomena, the first decline in the number of activists in the countryside of the total labor force in Iraq from about 16% in the early 1990s to about 10 per cent at the end of the century, is expected to lead to represent about 6% in the first decade of the twenty-first century, that the forces active in the rural economic process back in a decade by almost one third, because of the extensive unemployment in the countryside, especially among young people, which is an encouraging sign of the continuing migration to the city. The other distinctive phenomenon, the increasing reliance on women in agricultural work,. The percentage of women in agricultural work in 2000, 50 per cent of the total employed in agriculture, compared to 20 per cent half a century ago. It is expected that the figure rises to 59% in 2010, according to data the Food and Agriculture Organization, which prevented women to work in the main field basis. And the increasing rate of participation of rural women in the work field basis (in addition to family duties), causing increased pressure on women, which is a limiting opportunities for rural development.
Environmental degradation and mass migrations development worldwide phenomenon, but one of the oldest phenomena in the history of human society, Fedwaekh live expel the entire peoples of the bud and elbow from one locality to another, some basins fertility and civilization river and sea. The basin region of Mesopotamia and the site of one of the oldest migrations in human history. And those migrations known as environmental migrations. The same description of the environment on refugees who had been forced to migrate because of desertification, erosion, drought or exacerbate poverty and population density. The expanded this concept to include victims of violence and ethnic and sectarian discrimination, nationalist and political.
And history has shown us the old models of rural development, Shari embodied in Sumer, making good use of natural resources and the growth of urban population. Cities were Sumar, inhabited by 89% of the population, and the remaining workers in the countryside, were able to secure sources of food for the urban population, due to high fertility of the land agricultural productivity and Kavat producers. The alternated fields in the production of wheat, barley, chickpeas, lentils, dates, onions, garlic, lettuce, mustard, and others. It also developed a tame sheep, goats and pigs, as well as easy fishing, birds and deer, in addition to the capacity of pastures and water resources and rainfall amounts in excess of the current substantially. All helped to raise the efficiency of production of food sources for cities. The other model, shows that the degradation of natural resources (particularly agricultural land salinity) for the region, the actual cause of environmental migrations. Have retreated, water resources and water bodies by almost half in the second half of the twentieth century. Agriculture and retreated from a primary source of national income and the proportion of manpower to the site in the low-income. The erosion and poor use of land resources degradation of the model. According to estimates by the Food and Agriculture Organization, over 79% of land resources in Iraq, suffer from deterioration between serious or very serious, and living in these areas, more than 80 per cent of the population, population density up to 114 people per kilometer. And those conditions are in themselves, centrifugal and stimulating environment for immigrants. And immigrants tend to live in the outskirts of towns, often, in the living conditions of poor services, poverty and high unemployment. Migrations environmental Iraqi varied colors and causes throughout the twentieth century, between ecological reasons (soil erosion and declining water quality and harsh climatic factors) and the shrinking of per capita natural resources and widening unemployment, and the phenomenon cities attract closely with the oil and some aspects of development. The absence of rural development led to increased migration of rural, has been magnified by the problem of unemployment in the cities. The World Bank estimates that the unemployment rate ranging from 30 to 50 per cent of the forces that have the ability to work, and unemployment among rural youth, which is twice the unemployment rate of urban youth. The high mass led to a distortion of events installation social and economic development of the urban population. And another manifestation of environmental migrations is witnessed by the 20th century and even today migrations closely by ethnic, sectarian and political. The new migrations, although they take different political, ethnic or sectarian, but it was hide (mostly) true dimension it is the struggle for resources and power theme. It had previously been considered one of Iraq's most prominent ten countries in the world migrate level in the last two decades. The quality of this haemorrhage (internal and external) in the era that followed the toppling of Saddam Hussein, due to the erosion of effective state institutions and the maintenance of order and for widening the circle of violence. Fmattiyat High Commission for Refugees show that the continuing violence has led to growing external and internal migrations. There are at least 1.6 million have been displaced inside the country, including 425 thousand have fled their homes this year due to sectarian violence, and 1.8 million fled to other countries. Located in Syria and 600 thousand refugees, in Jordan 700 thousand In Egypt, at least 100 thousand, 54 thousand in Iran and in Lebanon about 40 thousand. And what I mean is that there are 3.6 million people Shmatlh internal and external migration to this moment, or 12.6% of the population, the advantage characterized by the countries of civil war and sectarian violence.
Iraq faces the mandatory benefits migrations (both internal and external). The expectation that the process will lead change of the former regime to encourage the return of displaced persons and migrants who are about four million numbers to their towns and villages. However, those hopes have been shattered by violence and civil war. The experience of many decades to confront the problems of migration shows that attract immigrants require resources and incentive programs often costly, in the context of a long-term strategic vision. Zaela and return of migrants (both internal and external) in the last three and a half years is minimal, even in areas available elements of stability (the inhabitants of Kurdish villages and marshes) and other victims of political violence and mass environmental Yugoslavia.
Alternative Option
The lesson of that picture, which is that the maintenance of nature and the diversity of its resources and good management, and political and social stability, is of decisive importance for sustainable development. The experience of Finland (example) shows that they derive from forest resources and manufacturing (without damage to the area and the quality of their resources), rather than accruing from the full resources of Iraq. Opting sustainable development is best to solve the dilemma of the interrelationship between migration from the countryside to the city. The reform and the protection of natural resources of the foundation for sustainable development, to be in the context of a package of steps related to the improvement of social and economic life and housing, health and education in rural areas, involving the concerned ministries and civil society institutions, and focused in the following areas : - care to women and young people in the countryside, as a human base for sustainable development. Absi and for the rehabilitation of young outskirts of towns to work in the agricultural sector in the so-called (cultivation cities), through the distribution of land near cities, and subsidies conditional and proper control.
Capacity-building of rural institutions. - Market integration between production centers (Aalerev), cities and provinces.
- That the plans and projects conviction and acceptance of the local population and their rural and compatibility with the official departments, and have the support and benefit from regional and international institutions. (Such as the International Fund for Agricultural Development and Food and Agriculture Organization and other international)
- Protection of the rural heritage and social components. - Protection of assets and genetic species (flora and fauna), and wild and domesticated as a vital part of the genome (genetic bank). The use of scientific developments, particularly Albaiotknluji applications. - Is the special situation in Iraqi Kurdistan appropriate to revive sustainable development, because of the abundance of natural resources (compared to the center and the south) and the possibility of turning the region into the main food basket for Iraq.
- Require sustainable development, high transparency and effective participation of the local population and the civil society organizations and official departments.
Conclusion
Take the theme to restore the balance between the components of the natural and social life, the greatest challenge in our current and, in particular, and that all possible future scenarios, from the confrontation between segments and groups to the civil war and the destruction of the remainder of our natural heritage and social development. If we accept the current version of the Department of economic and social life, our acceptance means greater competition for natural resources and mineral, which is an option to reject the strategy of sustainable development of human and natural resources, which means that we live in a time when we accepted the option of using force and violence in all its forms, and the extermination of life on Earth Iraqi

Morning meet Adnan Mufti, the new President of the Parliament of the territory Cordstan
Date : Tuesday, April 10
Topic : Main Page
Narrow interests and the depth of involvement of foreign behind the refusal of the application of Article 140
And Saddam should be tried for his execution Samurai and the new Rvaghalsabbah : Mr. President of the Parliament of the territory Cordstan general scene suggests, there was a big problem on article 140 of the Constitution. Over the past two weeks, there was an escalation and downs and there calmly and there was tension and then followed stresses. What is the real situation?

Adnan Mufti :
First we have to recognize that the issue of Kirkuk controversial issue, and we came to the formulation of article 140 was a major objective behind the formation of a normalization in the city, which suffered the Ttaherarki and to a policy of demographic change for a long time extended to more than 35 years and perhaps more. And now that we have agreed on the wording of this article at the time and voted yes to the constitution, at that time, was opposed by some parties of the basis and these people - and they are few, which was in line with the policy of the former regime of Saddam Hussein, are still creating obstacles to the implementation of this article and others contribute beyond the border especially Turkey also have the negative attitude of the other reasons for the Turkomans, namely the vision of a better future for Iraq, but for reasons related to their view of the situation in Cordstan Turkey is not with the federal Oma Alcorde people's enjoyment of the right to democracy and that this right was talking about another State of the State is not Turkish, but not easy to talk about this form, Vithaggjon protection Turkomans in Kirkuk and other times entering the Labor Party in the subject. And of course, this vision Turkish adversely affect the political process and march on the application of Article 140. And certainly raises the slogans that the opposition parties raised some concerns and fears among the people who do not know the reality of things, for example, argues that the Constitution guarantees every citizen the right to housing and to live in any city of his choice alone in the existence of this text and invites you to the Housing others came to this city for many years, who had where and become part of us, according to their vision of how things calls for the exodus from the city, but the fact is that the vast majority of those who believe in the Constitution and those who voted for it know the details of these things, who are mostly removed committed to the Constitution, although the method of dealing with this article differ another.
Should not the use of force to re-comers to Kirkuk

The principle is to follow in the steps of any of the articles contained in Article 140, but sometimes find that the federal government, despite our appreciation to reaffirm their commitment to the constitution, trying to satisfy all the parties, and this is not possible, we can do something for the future and is waiting for you to approve all parties, and all spectra of the Iraqi people.
We are based on the constitutional provisions and we stick to the principle of the right to return to their owners, as well as compensate those who were victims of the former regime, whenever we talk about building our future and leave things as they were, then we worked for, none of this principle is essential .. Affected by the policy of the former regime and need to see themselves in the new Iraq wishes have been achieved, including the return to their homes as well as compensation for the damage to them - that this new policy does not cause Dtahad other possible reduction of course.
Arabs arrivals must be returned to it the coercive use of force.
The good and positive signs that the Arab brothers who come to understand these facts as they were a tool in the hands of the former regime, they are not ready to play the same role that they played in the past as part of the game of politics, and certainly they are nostalgic for their place of origin and places of original residence, and Ansjmwa to some extent in the this city, but as long as this is restore rights to their owners, to find that thousands are ready to return home and to Aikonoa cause of the misery of others. A year ago I met at the headquarters of the parliament delegation of Arab visitors, and who formed a committee representative of the dialogue has expressed about seven thousand families Aitaadadham to return, and a month ago returned to heaven and requested a meeting and were welcomed in the Parliament, including the brother of the Turkmen Shiites, who were subjected to persecution and deportation, where they prepared to return 12500 family registered figures and the existing mechanism in accordance with Article 140 of any facilities and provide good living conditions .. what we need to talk about is at the core functions of the problem by the federal government under the chairmanship of the Minister of Justice, who resigned with regret is a smooth mechanism, which includes providing support financial those they would return to the areas they need this support in order to settle and have an entity, home, work. Goody, Mr. Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has finally agreed to the Commission's proposal to increase the amount of support to twenty million.
Therefore, we have to have a culture of dialogue because Kirkuk can not be the exclusive town of Cord because the components are Alkord city, the Arabs and Turkomen and Alcaldoahurein and others .. And all need to dialogue and coexistence, networking and building the future.
New morning :
The brothers Turkmen some fears about the future if they joined the Kirkuk province .. How do you evaluate the attitudes in this context .. No assurances can talk about them?
Adnan Mufti : if he stops the others, from outside the borders, or from the owners of the ideas from within the narrow boundaries of their objections believe then that Kirkuk will not suffer anything. In the past, people lived in harmony and Kirkuk today, and in the future can do so. Kirkuk is historically and geographically part of the territory Cordstan says that all the facts .. From our point of view, that the Turkmen brothers after the implementation of Article 140 Sistmtaun but much more human rights that they enjoy at the present time, including the Aigas from their days as Saddam Hussein will be the second in the national territory and Cordstan Stmthelhm good proportion of the Parliament and the territorial government and the Constitution of the Territory grant more rights the Federal Constitution of the Turkmen, and the rest Alcloahurein spectra despite our Baldstorin who recognize these rights and guarantees in addition to any guarantees they require, in addition to their participation in the administration and in the political decision, and applies to the Turkmen applies to the Arabs ..
New morning : Who stands in the way of implementation of Article 140?
Mufti : odd thing is that the majority of Arabs arrivals, who are stakeholders, support the implementation of Article 140. But some of the Arabs in Kirkuk and Huwayjah area since the 1930s are those who point to the need for the survival of the case as it is and this is strange .. Here we must acknowledge that the lack of approval of the article 140 is the kind of extremism and fanaticism, extremism and the political affiliate, which stems from a culture of the former regime, which is due to the interference from outside the border.
New morning :
If deduce from the foregoing that there were no differences between the implementation of Article 140 Cordstan province and the central government? Mufti : We believe that we have a common understanding on the issue but Mseliatna differ, we may disagree in some directions, but we agree on the principle, we agree that since the days in the opposition and to be accountable before .. In the territory Cordstan Baghdad, the parties agreed to solve the issues of the regions that have been exposed to ethnic and demographic both in the London or Saladin, and other areas .. Always there was agreement, but because of the responsibilities of different possible show sometimes divergent views but when we discuss the common denominator is the Constitution to reach results the desired.
New morning :
Ask about you assess the work of the Parliament and its territory. Do you think that the parliament perform duties in a satisfactory manner, especially legislation appropriate laws, or the performance of the late political and social situation? .
Mr. Adnan Mufti : Outcome positive if we take into account the circumstances of the parliament and the short time we spent after the unification of the two departments. As is known, we have frozen the consideration of the laws after the elections fought the belief that the work should be focused on consolidating departments and the management of one of that Parliament decided not to deal with administrators and so unite in a single government in the month of May last consolidate departments since dropped, I can say Parliament play its role in the enactment of laws and Touhedqararat and much has been achieved during a year. Laws were passed on the new ministries, the presidency of the Territory, by which the election of Mr. Massoud Barzani as President of the territory by Parliament, and his deputy, Mr. Kosert Rasul, the Investment Law, a law sophisticated and well and in line with the changes and international standards for the regulation of investment internally and externally and to organize the contribution of investors and owners of capital funds for the construction process, we have the addresses of terrorism, which is an important law, where it was discussed and endorsed, as well as laws against unfair decisions of the former regime, and I consider one of the most important achievements because of this legislation-the new laws in the territory Cordstan courts can not follow the laws that were prevalent and they had been issued by the so-called "Revolutionary Command Council" and an example, there was the person who steals the death penalty, which was issued during the Iraqi-Iranian war, the law was unfair ... Simple theft crime punishable by death. Rumors have become citizens under the provisions of this article noted that the judgment of imprisonment not exceeding three years, and the stay of execution is the action taken by Parliament and now, after the passage of the new law, defendants can distinguish resolution in the courts, where the decisions will be that they deserve legally .. The law also stopped honor killings or what is known as the "honor killings" .. Finally, we now have an amnesty law to be discussed at the present time .. It took the two and we need to have another meeting for approval. This law excludes specific cases of the clemency process, who have committed terrorist crimes, drug traffickers and counterfeiters to work and those who have committed crimes and received their honor, and this is in line with the social development, even estimate laws, we will see that we started before hundreds of laws made by Parliament.
Morning : issued during the new era of the Saddam regime thousands of laws and decisions of the Revolutionary Command Council dissolved. How do you deal with it now and whether there is coordination with the Federal Parliament in Baghdad?
Mufti : far-tures 1994-1995 appropri this coordination, we work since the year 1992 and we are enforcing the Iraqi laws in the courts and personal status. But all the laws that are to Atnsjm Indeed, in Cordstan and exotic issued by the "Revolutionary Command Council" was disbanded by the suspension .. Parliament was submitting a draft resolution to halt the work of these texts, as well as the parliament considered the submissions from the government .. Dozens of laws have been repealed or stop work, of course, do not have the right to repeal laws which covers the whole of Iraq that we are obliged to stop work in the province because the cancellation of the validity of the parliament in Baghdad, and imagine that the parliament must eliminate many of the laws and that the circumstances now without consideration and as happened when stopped implementation of death sentences. The ruler issued its decision based on the legal text, but in effect, based on this stopped the proceedings.

Constitutional amendments must not include basic principles
Morning : on the new constitutional amendments to be made : How do you see it : Is there a particular approach to this subject?
Mufti : discussions took place between some of the spe******ts in this field of members of Parliament of the European bloc Alcordstani and in the presence of the political bureau of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan and the democratic as well as representatives of other parties, either directly or through their representatives in the parliament to discuss the two things the first draft submitted by the United Nations on the mechanism for the formation of the district and this despite the important role that approval will be for the next session due to lack of knowledge of what Territories She and when that vision will be clearer and, secondly, the proposed amendments within the Constitution. But we say that it can not include amendments basic principles of the Constitution, as well as any suggestions to amend Article 140 unacceptable by us because this has a negative effect on bilateral relations and the political process but with the amendment, which helps to speed up the process of reconciliation. While giving assurances to the parties that still insist on the negative attitude of the reconciliation process must be discussed without compromising fundamental principles .. Important We have deliberated on these issues and developed a vision identical message of the European Union and the Islamic Alcordstani Alcordstani which has independent representatives in the parliament and finally I can assure you that the vision Alcordstaneh one
New morning : on the economic side .. There is a phenomenon of disorder prices .. High obscene in many sectors consider how the economic committee in Parliament to control the way markets do not conflict and the free market.
Mufti : This is a very difficult, we are facing a difficult choices First, we believe the market economy and democracy and the principle of supply and demand and that any intervention by the Economic Committee of the Parliament or the government must be limited because the direct intervention and to take individual decisions may intersect with the principle of market economy, but we believe that the government that played a through competitor enter the market and through appropriate pricing and profit margin simple decisions, we can not solve the existing problem and painful to the general public. Saddam should be tried for his execution and his Samurai
Editor in Chief : Adnan Mufti fighter and one of the victims of the former regime .. How does the way he was treated by the former regime, was it can be disposed properly?
Mufti : certainly, it could be better .. Provisions that have been issued under the provisions of the law they are entitled to the reason behind the scourge of the Iraqi people and cause disaster to the current situation a result of the policies followed by the killing and destruction. But I personally was better to be the first case to be tried by the men of the former regime are on the execution commit great number of the Baathists and their leaders, who have been subjected to murder and slaughter .. Abdalkhalk Samurai and Mohammad Ayesh, Adnan Hussein, and others could have been on this issue to respond to the question : How was executed Everyone knows that they were without trial and the documents and Video recordings confirm this, and it was possible for this case greater impact on the street is killing members of his party and his regime, not his opponents. The can also be better to build a new Iraq and to give unvarnished picture of Iraq in addition to the manner in which the government of Saddam Hussein was emotionally and came way inappropriate in the first two points that the ruling was executed on the first day of Eid, although there may be an advisory opinion, but in the memory of people unpopular and, secondly showed Saddam as the hero commander Although this does not reflect the real personality and the things going on, but the atmosphere television and the trial was in a lot of havoc and things were in many respects had been transformed into a platform for the marketing of the image of Saddam .. Although, this can not be abolished Register of big mistakes suffered by Iraq during the rule was extended for 35 years, destroyed the infrastructure and social relations and destroyed the good-neighborly relations with the States and destroyed Arab relations and the Iraqi-Iranian relations .. Look how that Iraq is a rich countries expected assistance from the countries of the world these are your remnants of their policy.
New morning :
In the territory Cordstan there is no terrorism .. There is no military operations .. And there is no bombing of the oil pipelines, but there is no electricity, there is no energy .. How do you explain :
Mufti : those two big electricity and power "of oil, gas and other derivatives" causes many, even examined in an objective way, the part of the burden of the regional government, but if we are located, the electricity installations in the Territory, which covers 60 to 70% of the province's electricity needs, following the fall of the regime of Atlbi 10 to 15% of the province need .. Why?
Part of this energy is going to places that would have been received electricity and outside the administrative border of the province .. Consumption and demand for electricity doubled because of the purchasing power of the family .. House, which was owned by conditioners become more tailored addition to the electrical equipment that did not exist and became House of energy consumed five to six times as much as in the past, added that all the capabilities and plans that we believe was done to electric power with respect to the work of foreign companies building new stations for electric power or repair idle and faced terrorist act and many of them operate in the territory of Iraq or left their jobs and left Iraq did not accomplish their mission, this flaw and other projects even though there take delivery of six months to one year would provide a completed 80% of the territory and we need pressure the Hkomhalaglim in order to speed up the implementation of these projects for the oil derivatives Altjhih That depends on the circumstances of the 90% of Ahiajna for petrol comes from the Al-Dawra refinery in Baghdad when exposed to these outlets sabotage, it affects us and suffer from Tjhizna gasoline was delayed ten days by the strike workers at the session, as happened in the electricity issue happened to the fuel has doubled times and the demand for fuel due to the increase in the numbers of cars and trucks
