New Iraqi govt. to be formed within constitutional period
2010-12-10
BAGHDAD / Aswat al-Iraq: The new Iraqi government will be formed within the defined constitutional period. There are no obstacles that stand in the way of its formation, the Legislature for the Iraqi National Alliance, Ali al-Allaq said on Thursday.

“The forthcoming couple of days may witness the settlement of the remaining differences among the political blocs,” Allaq told Aswat al-Iraq news agency, reiterating that the “government would be formed with the limited constitutional period,” which he did not define.

“What enables one to feel satisfied is that there are no longer any obstacles standing in the way of forming the new government,” Allaq noted.

“There are dialogues and viewpoints among the political blocs that necessitate reaching an understanding that may take few more days,” he continued.

“The problem has not yet been settled completely, due to the demands of some blocs and their competition to gain some of the cabinet posts,” Allaq said, reaffirming that “the distribution of the cabinet posts would take place within one deal for all ministries, and not each ministry on its part.”
