Fifth : allocates a (share) for a specified period of the areas affected, including the disadvantaged and believes the balanced development of different regions in the country.

VI regulates contained in this article law.

As for the drafting of article 112 supplemented with article 111 says that it is infallible, as follows :

First : The federal government with provincial and district government relationship with the management of all oil and gas operations.

Second : The federal government with provincial and district government of the relationship together and agree policy strategic outlook for the development of oil and gas wealth certified latest techniques of market principles and encouraging investment to achieve utility of the Iraqi people and all the people of all regions of Iraq.

But the head of the Kurdistan Alliance pointed out that there are still different points, and said that there was a proposal to hold a meeting of heads of blocs of political leaders and heads of the major political parties and actors to decide on the points of contention centered on the fate of article 140 and the future of oil-rich Kirkuk, and the subject of sharing oil wealth and water.

He pointed out that the issue of water specifically removed there are points for formulations Iradalagreem it, pointing out that he would be listed powers water management file federal government with regard to international waters or riparian with other states, as well as for water beyond the territorial limit. The water within the region, the Brahiatha, according Massoum, will be confined to the territorial government only.

A Massoum the emergence of other contentious points relating to the powers the president, said that the discussions within the Commission on constitutional amendments, produced the first two calls to be the President of the Republic the power to be Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces and direct supervision of the various security agencies, while the Panel finds that the second such order is based on fundamental changes and the conversion of the regime in Iraq to Republican presidential, and therefore there must be direct elections for the President of the Republic, which strongly opposed the opinion first.

Massoum said that the depth discussions on this particular point showed opinion Thirdly perhaps longer compromise between the two views, calls for giving certain powers of the President of the Republic, which also existed across the State Administration Law, which gives the President the right to examine the decisions on the overall command of the armed forces, As entrusted by the validity of the appointment of officers and retirement.

He pointed out that the government, Iyad Allawi, and Ibrahim Jaafari has adhered to the terms of Article 58 of the State Administration Law, which turned to be Article (140), and that despite the relatively low survival period for the completion of the constitutional deadlines set for implementation of article seven months. the position of the Kurdistan Alliance within the meetings of the constitutional amendments were resolute, and the coalition insists that "no amendment .. not disrupt .. no postponement." The letter explains that "was expected to make recommendations to the Presidency Iraqi Parliament.

He pointed out, and because of the presence of sharp differences between the Vice-President Adel Abdel Mahdi and Tariq Al-Hashmi around withheld from the Shiite city of Karbala and linked Limits Anbar province has been unable to achieve unanimity presidency on those recommendations, and that light is needed to arbitration and this takes a long time, " explaining that "there are two on this article posed by Iraqi parties, is the first extension of the implementation of Article 140 for another year, and the second to make Kirkuk during the year 2007 territories with a special re-link district and sub-district withheld them, After three years the right of the inhabitants of Kirkuk through popular referendum to decide the fate of maintaining attachment Kurdistan province or refuse placement. "

The head of the coalition of Kurdish political leadership "that the very sensitive issue of Kirkuk, where people looked forward to the return of the territory of Kurdistan, but have not left us only 7 months must be resolved matters and the need to reach agreement.

Abdul Aziz al-Hakim is now resting in his home in Najaf, returning Friday from Tehran after a week-long hospital stay. "He is in his headquarters in Najaf and will be there for a long time, after he finished his initial period of treatment in Tehran," said Muayyad al-Hakim, secretary of the politician's son Ammar.
Hakim "returned home on Friday noon from Tehran, where he was told that his health condition was stable," a source told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI).
Two weeks ago, Hakim, 57, flew to the United States for medical tests before traveling on to Tehran for treatment.
Abdul Aziz al-Hakim was released from a Tehran hospital on Sunday after a week-long stay for treatment of what many have reported to be lung cancer.
"His sickness was diagnosed as controllable and the primary steps have been taken by his doctors," said the Islamic Supreme Council in Iraq's secretary in Tehran, Majed Ghamaz.
According to a report by Hakim’s medical team sent to the Mehr News Agency, “The endoscopic, radiological and clinical examinations followed by the examination of his cough and chest pain resulting from a short-term cold in the past, have indicated that he is suffering edema and thrombus in his lung."
Despite this account of Hakim's health, a SIIC representative reported last week that Hakim is suffering from a malignant lung tumor.
"The medical check ups carried out in a Houston medical institute in the U.S. for Sayyed al-Hakim showed that he has lung cancer with grade D, not A. Doctors affirmed that it does not pose a threat to al-Hakim's health. The case is curable but it needs more time," Sheikh Hamid Maala, media official at SIIC, told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI).

The source denied that Talabani's visit to the United States was "just for losing weight," adding "the visit was to have his general health examined."

Talabani left Sulaimaniya on May 20 for the United States for a checkup in Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
Iraqi and foreign mass media had said Talabani might stay in the United States for nearly three months to lose some weight and avoid work pressure for a while.
The Iraqi president was admitted into al-Hussein Medical City in the Jordanian capital Amman on February 25 after suffering from an indisposition.
