SLC Welcomes Allawi's Bid of Reconciliation 09/12/2011 13:04
Baghdad, Dec.9 (AKnews)- State of Law Coalition of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki welcomes a bid by Ayad Allawi for reconciliation as a step for resolving issues after the U.S. combat troops complete withdrawal from Iraq, a SLC leader said.
Mr. Allawi who leads al-Iraqiya List was PM's elections rival. Continuous disputes between the two leaders source from elections results and an unfulfilled promise to interim PM, Allawi.
SLC came narrowly second in the elections by 89 seats, only two seats less than Iraqiya. However, an agreement served reinstating Mr. Maliki.
In an interview with the Syrian TV Monday, Mr.Allawi invited the PM to "shake hands [with him] and turn the page of the past."
SLC leader Ali Askari told AKnews his bloc welcomes Allawi's call for reconciliation with PM Maliki over political issues and "according to correct national dialog."
SLC invites all the political blocs for dialog "for correcting the previous mistakes and for the success of the process after the U.S. complete withdrawal from Iraq," Mr. Askari said.
Under State of Forces Agreement of 2008, U.S. should have withdrawn all his combat troops from the country by end of 2011. The pull out process in continuous and the last U.S. soldier is scheduled to leave the country by Dec.20.
"SLC has informed Iraqiya that it will comply with the constitution for settling all the suspended issues," SLC leader said.
Iraqiya has repeatedly accused SLC and in particular Mr. Maliki of violating constitution and political agreements.
An agreement which served Mr. Maliki secure his position for a second term was a reconciliation agreement presented by Kurdistan Regional President Massoud Barzani.
The agreement also granted the leaderships of a new council called the National Council for Strategic Polices to Mr. Allawi, in turn for his reconciliation over PM post.
The council had to be launched three months after the agreement was singed, i.e. in March. Failure to install the council resulted in incriminations passed between SLC and Iraqiya.
The tensions reached a state where Iraqiya threatened to withdraw from government several times.
