Iraqiya List: Holding national conference after Arab summit would be pointless

22/03/2012

March 22 (AKnews) - Al-Iraqiya List said today that it would not participate in the long-delayed national conference if it were to be held after the upcoming Arab summit, adding that such a conference would have "no value".

The Sunni-backed bloc pushed for the conference to be held before the summit on March 29. They said the internal disputes in Iraq have to be solved before Iraq hosts the summit.

Thafer al-Ani, a leading figure in the bloc, said: “Al-Iraqiya would not take part in the national conference if were to be held after the Arab summit... because it believes such a conference has no value.

“The postponement of the national conference to after the Arab summit is additional proof that the State of Law Coalition (SLC) led by Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is not serious about reaching common grounds.”

Al-Ani called on the SLC to “tell the truth to the public that they have no desire to come to partnerships” and accused the Shiite list of “wasting time”.

SLC officials said previously that the time remaining before the Arab summit is insufficient to allow the national conference to be held in advance.

The Supreme Islamic Council of Iraq (SICI) shares the same view.

SICI spokesman Hameed Maala said: “The date of the Arab summit is approaching and the national conference agenda contains many big issues that require lots of discussion. Therefore it can't be held before the Arab summit."

The national conference is intended to bring together political blocs in an attempt to end disputes in the country.

The SLC and al-Iraqiya have been at loggerheads since 2010 when al-Iraqiya won the parliamentary elections by a small margin: 91 seats to SLC's 89 seats out of the 325-seat parliament.

The Federal Court ruled that the bloc that formed the government was not the one that received the most votes, but the one that formed a political bloc in parliament with the most seats.

Al-Iraqiya, led by former Iraq interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi, have boycotted parliament sessions and government meetings on several occasions due to their disputes with the SLC.

The disputes exploded when the judicial council in Baghdad issued an arrest warrant against Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi, a top Sunni leader in the country, on terror charges.
