Erbil, December 22 (PNA) - Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari on Wednesday that Iraq will be vulnerable to further regional intervention in its affairs that did not reach its leaders quickly to resolve the political crisis between the Shiite-led government and the competitors of the year.
He said in an interview with Reuters that the escalation is not in the interest of any party.
He added that the continued fragmentation of the internal front will encourage those who want to intervene in the affairs of the country so it is very important to address this crisis as soon as possible.
And sought the government of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki for the arrest of Tariq al-Hashimi's Sunni vice president, accusing him of running the Iraqi squad assassinations and asked parliament to withdraw confidence from the last competitor of the owners of Saleh al-Mutlaq, a deputy prime minister after the semi-Saddam Hussein.
And could undermine the conflict that broke out after the days of the completion of the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq's fragile power-sharing deal between the Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds.
Zebari said that the crisis came at an inconvenient time for Iraq, where the last coincided with the withdrawal of U.S. forces, saying that the biggest challenge facing Iraq after the withdrawal of U.S. troops is a political challenge, followed by security.
He said he should not be allowed to neighboring countries that think they can fill the vacuum after the withdrawal of U.S. forces and intervene in the affairs of Iraq.
He said that Iraq would not be a tool in the hands of others.
Iran has gained considerable influence in Iraq after the fall of Saddam Hussein after the US-led invasion in 2003 and Iraqi officials also complain about the interference of Saudi Arabia and Turkey in the affairs of their country. I tried all these countries to play a role in directing Iraqi politics during and after the formation of the government last year.
Zebari said that the issue of al-Hashemi exaggerated in the media while it should be handled quietly among Iraqi political leaders.
But he refused to concerns about the possible return of Iraq to the sectarian violence that nearly tore Iraq apart in 2006 and 2007.
Shiite leaders say that the issue of al-Hashemi a matter of law enforcement personnel and does not target range, but the minority Sunnis fear that al-Maliki is increasingly strengthens its grip on the government and marginalizes the year.
Hashemi and al-Mutlaq, a senior Sunni leaders in the mass, the Iraqi political bloc from various denominations, won a majority of seats in parliament last year with the support of the votes of the year.
Hashemi and resorted to the region of Kurdistan after his arrest warrant was issued.
Maliki called the Kurdistan authorities on Wednesday extradited to face charges that he denied the Sunni leader.
