Today, Sunday, the State of Law Coalition called on the House of Representatives to hold an extraordinary session to discuss the situation in Kirkuk Governorate, while warning that matters would reach the stage of a security explosion.
The leader of the coalition, Haider al-Lami, said in an interview with Al-Maalouma agency, that “the language of dialogue must prevail, and unrealistic decisions must not be taken, and the government’s voice is the loudest and strongest,” noting that “solving the matter with weapons will expose all neighboring regions and provinces to great security risks.”
And he continued, “Political leaders must be responsible in ending the violations and attacks that occur in Kirkuk,” warning that “things will reach the stage of security explosion due to the absence of solutions that satisfy all parties.”
Al-Lami stressed, “The need for the government to be the official sponsor of resolving the issue of Kirkuk and not adopting the issue from one side trying to impose wills on other parties,” adding that “Parliament is required to hold an extraordinary session of the Council in order to discuss the outstanding issues in Kirkuk from all parties.”
The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Muhammad Shia’ al-Sudani, had earlier directed the imposition of a curfew in Kirkuk and the initiation of large-scale security operations, calling for preventing strife and maintaining security, stability and order in the province.
Yesterday, Kirkuk witnessed serious security tensions, after gunmen fired live bullets at the tents of the protesters in front of the Operations Command headquarters, and those who rejected the return of the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Peshmerga to Kirkuk.
