| [RUDAW.NET] Iraq’s former Finance Minister Hoshyar Zebari has lost an appeal at the country's federal court against his removal as minister by the parliament which he called unconstitutional. The former minister lost his appeal 6 to 3 votes on Tuesday. The Iraqi parliament withdrew confidence from Zebari in September. "Unfortunately lost our appeal to Iraqi Federal Court 6 by 3 votes." Zebari reacted on his Twitter account. "Now I’m a private citizen after 13 years working for the new Iraq," he added. |
