Erbil, December 22 (PNA) - rejected the Sunni minority in Iraq on Wednesday, Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, all parties to the talks, ignoring U.S. pressure for dialogue to resolve the sectarian crisis erupted with the departure of U.S. forces this week.
With growing fears of a possible fall of Iraq's population of 30 million in the chaos after the withdrawal of U.S. forces that toppled dictator Saddam Hussein in 2003, the year-Maliki warned that they face exclusion from power if he got out of his ruling coalition.
And refused to block the main party, the Iraqi Sunnis who supported Maliki's call for dialogue involving all parties in the coming days and vowed to try to discredit the Parliament by the Prime Minister, a move unlikely to succeed. And angry because of the mass of Iraqi involvement in terrorism by the authorities and sent to the Shiite-led Sunni Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi in the day I left the U.S. military.
Maliki said he wanted the Iraqi bloc to end its boycott of Parliament and the power-sharing government formed a year ago.
But he warned that if they insisted they are free to do so and can withdraw permanently from the state and all its institutions.
The bloc said in a statement of "Iraq rejects the call launched by Nouri al-Maliki for the dialogue it represents the main cause of the crisis, the problem is not a positive element in the solution."
Hashemi faces charges of driving death squads are based on the confessions of a television to the men claiming to be his bodyguards. He also faces Saleh al-Mutlaq, Vice Prime Minister Maliki's criticism of the request of the parliament removed from office.
Hashemi denied the accusations and says it has denied a false credibility in Washington, where a U.S. official said he believed that the accusations against Hashemi baseless.
The White House on Tuesday expressed concern about the arrest warrant issued against al-Hashemi. In his calls to Baghdad, Biden stressed "the urgent need to meet the Prime Minister and leaders of other major blocs and work together to resolve their differences."
Shiite leaders say that this case related to the application of the law on individuals and not aiming for a certain category, but the Sunni minority fears that al-Maliki is determined to tighten his grip on the government and the marginalization of the year.
