Baghdad / Iyad al-Tamimi
after the Baghdad summit successful in terms of security and controversial (the media) has announced the organizers contrast their views on the outcome of the summit and the success of the preparations of logistics, technical, although confirmed the existence of violations and difficulties encountered, media representatives and Arab locals have expressed their displeasure through their presence in place of the Arab Summit Conference,
In the government palace, from the denial of some Iraqi journalists participating in the summit to the nature of their presence in the press center allocated to them by the organizing committee. Chairman of the Organizing Committee and government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said in a statement to the correspondent term in the government palace there is no media organization has not participated in press coverage, were taken a minimum of journalists and evenly, but it is only natural that errors occur because the applications that arrived was more than 5000 thousands of form, and certainly can not absorb it all, because we Mahddon a certain number, so we gave the opportunity for the channels, newspapers and national radio and I think that accommodate more than 1500 press release is the achievement of the summit and former did not occur in all caps.
denied Skinner that there will be selective and trade-off between the journalists and media professionals, and The Committee adopted the standard diversification and keen to share all media without being preference journalist over another.
and non-contact media with officials and delegates to the summit, Dabbagh said: It is natural that the sponsor for the transfer of the event, and the work of the Iraqi Media Network work is important and historic achievement , It is worth mentioning that the media network does not use any foreign company or an Arab to cover the event and this is what is calculated.
and the level of representation Dabbagh said that the representation of countries was good and we are satisfied with this level, and more importantly, all states participated, regardless of who is the representative, but There are no state opposed or boycotted the summit, and even the Arab League happy with the participation of the state of all, this gives the impression of the Arab League that the summit was successful.
Chairman of the Committee of Culture and Information parliamentary Ali Alfalh criticized the organizing committee in regards to prevent journalists from obtaining information in an easy, said Alfalh : From the beginning we move and hear the views of colleagues, journalists, and we know that there are more than 1500 journalists covering the summit, and through our contacts with the organizing committee show that there are organized successful, but we have heard reproach some colleagues of journalists, but there are two things to be Mlahzthma I: We believe that the media could conduct interviews with officials and delegations, and the Commission to allow them to conduct meetings, press releases, press conferences is not enough for journalists, especially as they are very few, and that the Secretary of State throughout the period held two press conferences only,
and added Alfalh in a statement to the extent it was necessary that make available to journalists for interviews to Asdmoa skeptics who tried some of them derail the summit inside and outside Iraq.
He continued: The second thing I Otfhmh and that some times had the necessities of security that have negatively impacted and hindered their time with the event, and journalists to understand this is because the organizing committee want to their safety.
He Alfalh a member of the State of Law Coalition led by Prime Minister: But what is calculated from the positive aspects of the organizing committee in the last two days of the summit is to provide a place appropriate for journalists and provide everything they need from the Internet to devices montage to technical matters integrated.
In the same context, praised the Director General of the network Iraqi media Muhammad Abd al-Jabbar carp efforts being made to the organizing committee and the network media, said carp that the Information Committee of the Conference and the Preparatory Commission has made extensive efforts and exceptional for the success of the summit, especially in the media, but these efforts have always been constrained controls, security, some from Iraq and some of the participating countries, and added carp in a statement to the extent that the subject of friction journalists officials or delegates to participate is a matter for officials themselves, as the delegation told the Preparatory Committee and the concerned authorities that they did not want to speak with the media, therefore do not bear the relevant committee for this dimension between the media and delegates.
said the accusations that were addressed to the Iraqi Media Network politicizing the summit for the government media, he denied carp that the network has turned to this way, he said, all this media coverage is under the supervision of Broadcasting Union Arabs, a subsidiary of the Arab League and the European Union is to set rules according to the standards of the Arab League, and was on the network to adhere to these instructions and we committed ourselves to literally controls, indicating that the government did not have any interference, either closely or from afar, and I am surprised at the accusations of politicizing government matter and not a party.
noted: It was a great challenge to the network this coverage important and significant challenges Although there are some problems at the technical level and technical but it did not affect the coverage in general, and we are as concerned have succeeded in covering the event do not have it any previous experience, and expressed carp was happy to cover the event without that use the network to any company or experts, He explained: up channel and Iraqi correspondents have been unable to access any of the participants in the summit over the last two days, and this is proof that the network is not unique to media coverage at the level of conducting meetings and special permits.
suffering journalists
journalist Muwaffaq Mohammed from a magazine and told Coughlan, based in Erbil, said that This summit did not differ from peaks that preceded it in terms of the decisions and treatment, but in terms of the media did not expect that the treatment of the media and security agencies in this form in addition to not technique, is very difficult news comes from the state or province, and lives in Baghdad a week or more, and did not get a special permit him or did not meet with any political figure, I participated conferences similar have not seen such a deal at all, and this deal gives the impression that the summit was a formality and not real as the delegates had an obsession of asking the journalist question embarrasses the delegation to participate and thus failure and success of the summit is always determined by the fourth power.
and even press conferences, is it reasonable to take place over 3 days of conferences only, we wonder if all that has happened over the summit of the events and decisions, limited to two conferences for the Secretary of State was enough to explain?
The strange thing that officials, journalists and the organizers of the summit, when appearing on television portray the journalist here had got all it wanted, but the fact that the opposite is true and that all the channels, newspapers and the multi-media could not get their rights guaranteed in the law of the rights of journalists.
imagine that I am extent of my presence during the three days I no longer any press report and I see that I have let down the organization that Bostna to cover the event, neither I nor others of our colleagues were able to write one story.
and what we have observed through our presence that the security authorities did not respect Alpag granted to the summit, told reporters, and Iraqi officials confirmed that the Albajat granted to journalists to enable them to move naturally, but what happened is harassing the media, and I think it is a message that the fight against journalists and prevent them from reaching the summit venue in another way.
The journalist Yasmin Haj from Oman TV Vaattabrt that the Baghdad summit in terms of the political dimension is very important and held at this time a strong message for the return of Iraq to the Arab world strongly after a long absence, confirming that the decisions to be taken by the Arab League is not as important as the head of Iraq this summit and give a message to the skeptics capabilities of Iraq at the level of the organization.
As for the suffering of journalists Vaattabrt Haj that the lack of Iraqi expertise in the organization of such forums is what has made the press has a hard time, and it was better Palmnian to provide for media access to information is smooth, but we are forgiven for the first because of the huge numbers involved from foreign and local journalists.
At the level of the presence of the media was distinct but at the level of regulation is a failure and hit him some violations and Alarbakat, promised Haj what happened in general is a normal happening in many conferences and forums of this type.
and difficulty of access to the participating delegations said Haj: Baghdad is different from the rest of the Arab countries there are obsessed with strong security the Iraqi government, and I think to prevent the press from access or access to the conference hall come from this door, and praised the Hajj organization information in the provision of all equipment and supplies and monitors the live broadcast, and all the journalists were able to obtain information, but what is the most important of all, we Kaalamyin Arabs We hope that the Iraqis or out of the summit decisions implemented on the ground, and not remain mere ink on paper
Food and candy out of work
TV correspondent eastern Minas Suhail spoke tension and excitement, I heard about the monopoly of some satellite channels covering football matches, all that is happening in international journals, but a political event sponsored by channel Government that is what we do not understand so far, is it a summit of foods and delicious desserts from what is, or to exchange emails and phones among journalists? During my presence to cover the summit has not prepared any report and when to call me the channel I do not know what to say, and frankly I regret all regret my presence and pregnant all these difficulties and fatigue, and it was better for the organizers to announce this so that we can attend or not, and I think that all journalists let down their institutions were unable to cover the event properly and professionally, in short it is a walk tired.
journalist George Michael from the Agency Lebanese news agency, surprised at what happened and said I have been practicing the profession of journalism for more than 10 years and covered summits previous occasions, I have not seen such a security alert before, and perhaps The most important question is this caution the government from the media or from the terrorists, and why the media blackout, many questions are still looking for an answer, through my summit the past there was a place dedicated to journalists like the press center here but the strange thing that this center has no visitors of any delegation or Iraqi official and I during my presence did not meet either Bnatq official of the government or the President of the Organizing Committee, and whether it really holds all the information, frankly, every summit held Tstahbha a number of negatives and graduated organizer justify the negatives but here shows that the organizing committee and the Iraqi government still insists that Summit a success in terms of media, how to be so and there is one journalist was able to have the information of its own.
