KDP do not except second-class role
Iraqi Kurds will not accept being treated as "second-class citizens" in Iraq's new government, Massoud Barzani, head of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, said in an interview. The Kurds, who number some five million out of a total Iraqi population of 25 million, will have to enjoy "responsibility in sensitive ministries that represent the country internationally as well as in the internal security forces," he said.
As far as I'm concerned, they can turn the whole country over to the Kurds...
Iraq's 25-member transitory governing council, the country's first executive body formed since the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime, will hold its inaugural session Sunday in Baghdad, a UN official said. The council is expected to have responsibility for appointing or sacking ministers and diplomats, approving a budget and appointing abody of up to 10 members to draw up a draft constitution.
