The following is the text of the statement by the Presidency of the Kurdistan on the report of the Commission :
After examining the report of 'Commission for the Study of Iraq' We need to put forward the following points :
1- The non-arrival of the members of the Baker-Hamilton to Kurdistan, and for whatever reason, is a big shortage in the process of assessment and the report loses credibility.
2- Recommendation (26) to the audit of the Iraqi Constitution, the participation of experts from the United Nations.
In our view, any review of the Iraqi Constitution requires to be done within the mechanisms established by the Constitution itself. Therefore, we reject any change outside these mechanisms work, and everyone knows that the territorial integrity of Iraq are bound by the Constitution.
3- Recommendation (28) to put oil revenues under the control of the central government, and the distribution of proceeds on the basis of population in the areas in Iraq, considering that the control of the regions oil wells run with the new process of national reconciliation.
In relation to this recommendation, we renew our commitment to the full Constitution, which defines the right solution to this issue, and will reject any change in this area.
4.-in (30) on the Kirkuk report calls for the postponement of the application of Article (140) of the Constitution and to mandate 'of the international community in support of Iraq', which proposes the formation address this issue.
In our view, the Constitution defined mechanisms application of Article 140 and the ceiling of the time, and this is the minimum accepted by the Kurds. Therefore, any delay in the process of the application of this article is a great fears, which can not be tolerated in any form by the people of Kurdistan.
5-entire report stresses the strengthening of the central government and weaken the powers of provinces, and this in itself incompatible with the principles of federalism and the Constitution, which forms the basis of the new Iraq.
Here, I reiterate that federalism is the only way to preserve the unity of Iraq.
Six-take report clearly in a number of sections in the account of the interests and concerns of neighboring Iraq and calls for a greater role for these countries. In our view, this proposal is not consistent with the interests and sovereignty of Iraq in general and with the benefit of the people of Kurdistan in particular, which constitutes interference in the affairs of Iraq.
7- report calls in a number of paragraphs, for example, in recommendations (27) and (35), to persuade the parties that oppose the political process and resort to violence and to be included in the Authority and the government. This, in our view, contrary to the interests of the overwhelming majority of the Iraqi people and the democratic process.
8- with our thanks and gratitude to the President of the United States of America, George W. Bush and the American administration for their role in the overthrow of the former regime and their efforts to support the new Iraq, we believe that the Baker-Hamilton raised many of the recommendations unrealistic and non-believing that the application of these recommendations would help the United States to overcome the difficulties. If the aim is to be imposed on us by this Committee recommendations of the Inalienable application, we declare our rejection behalf of the people of Kurdistan each contravention with the Constitution and the interests of Iraq and Kurdistan.
9- that the report did not agree with us was confirmed by Mr. James Baker in a telephone conversation in which he noted that the Commission had taken into consideration in its specificity of Kurdistan. Note that we have made clear in advance the opinion of the Kurdish party in our letter to the Committee. It seems that the committee did not take the contents of this letter into account did not mention it.
Finally, make it clear that :
- We are committed and any form of the Committee's report.
- May not ignore the democratic process and the gains of the Iraqi people and the people of Kurdistan, especially after the elections and the adoption of the constitution voted on by more than 80% of the Iraqi people and supported by the international community and by the United States of America.
- We believe that before the others to resolve the issues of Iraq, Nodal that is needed is for the Iraqis themselves to solve this problem, including the serious treatment of the issue of national reconciliation. Therefore, we call on all Iraqi forces that believe in the political process and the Constitution, federal, democratic and an Iraq to take the steps necessary to address those solutions contract to avoid the regional and international forces based on the recommendations and suggestions wrong.
