For these extremist forces and aggressive targets projects targeting other components include the whole region, and Iraq in the forefront, so it is necessary to avoid a conflict deplete our strength and its disposal to confront the major threats.
He stopped the meeting when the news that moving military forces by the province to areas around Kirkuk, and the issuance of orders from the leadership of the armed forces to military units to move towards Kirkuk, and expressed concern about the escalation in tension and military build-up and intensify its presence in the region and one by the province and the federal government , which led to a situation fraught with very dangerous and a gallery of explosion in the event that any of the parties work provokes him the other party, and there is no guarantee against this happening by military forces or some of its units or elements undisciplined, especially against the backdrop of the shipping process ongoing sense of national whether the Arabs or Kurds.

Some speakers considered the U.S. position is clear and has خطابان, one addressed to the Federal Government and the last towards the region, while Asher others influence the development of relations between Turkey and the region at the political and economic strengthening feeling the province by force and confidence, while confirming other interventions dangerous succession and escalating crisis in the context of series of action and reaction, which now governs the positions of political leaders in the federal government and the region. The total crisis end did not exist when trust between founding partners in the political process is being exchanged accusations by leaders in the media, but also relations have deteriorated to a level of moving military forces on the ground so that it no longer possible outbreak of an armed conflict something absent from the mind!
The point was that the course of the evolution of attitudes and events threatens and undermines the foundations and the political and societal consensus upon which the political process and the body of the Constitution, which in turn draw architecture of state institutions and the specifics of the democratic structure in Iraq. As a result of what characterizes the Iraqi society of pluralism nationalist and religious and sectarian and nationalist suffered the bonds of intimacy and trust between components to any vibration and cracking because of the policies of repression and oppression, discrimination and exclusion that followed the dictatorship regime, was adopted the principle of consensus between the components and the institutions of power and the state in light of consensual democracy and the rule of unified federal democracy, so as to ensure stability and civil peace and rebuild confidence and remove injustice and the injustice done to some of the ingredients. But the current conflicts and disputes between the joint forces in power suggest that the way to handle and manage governed approach and logic different from that.
And carried some opinions foundations of sectarianism and nationalism underlying political coalitions large and set apart from the system of government based on quotas primary responsibility in the current crises faced by the country in various fields, which requires overcome some alignments transient communities and nationalities and orientation towards asserting the principle of citizenship in the state-building. And called some of the views of His Excellency the President of the Republic to return to play a neutral role in the care of the dialogues and the convergence of views and bring the parties to reach political solutions required for the crisis.
The discussions concluded on this axis to the following:
• Adoption of the meeting proposed to issue a statement calling for calm and the adoption of dialogue and avoid escalation, both in speech or in attitudes and actions and work to find solutions on the basis of the Constitution and the supreme interests of the country, unity and security and the rights of all its components, stressing their support for the positions contained in the message references bones, which calls for the rejection of escalation Military and finding peaceful solutions that preserve the unity of the state through dialogue.
• call for the formation of a neutral committee comprising representatives of all parties headed by personal and national Iraqi prestigious neutral and acceptable to all parties, shall facilitate dialogue between the leadership of the federal government and leadership of the region and mediate to remove tension and cramping in relationships and rebuild bridges, and contribute to the development of the foundations and elements of the desired solution.
2 - discuss the idea of a "majority government a way out of the crisis"
Now the idea of forming a majority government political versus opposition active in the House of Representatives put strongly as the solution to get out of the political crisis experienced by the country, and to initiate the process of activating and reforming state institutions and overcome the paralysis and intractability in the work of the government and the House of Representatives from adoption of the principle of consensus and quotas in the formation of the government. Were presented arguments and justifications that assigned the call to form a government by the parliamentary majority, whether the majority is composed of a single party or coalition forces and parliamentary blocs. Has proved this type of governments effectiveness and efficiency through the experiences of ancient democratic in the world, as it represents ideal situation for democratic regimes, which holds the majority of political responsibility of governance, with an ational in opposing active government monitors and submit proposals, projects and legislation alternative.
But the views of the other recognizes the constitutionality of the government majority and harmony with the principles of democracy, but it is a majority government is not possible in practice in the current circumstances. The unanimous consensus that the formation of a majority government is not possible to investigate in light of the composition and balance of power in the current House of Representatives and the state of existing coalitions, and that talk of being mainly formed after the next election for members of the House of Representatives. The discussions showed that a majority government under the current structure of political parties and coalitions main menu on the basis of national and religious affiliations and religious, means practically exclusion or more components from participating in the government, making it intersects with the spirit of the Constitution, if not the text.
So form a majority government political, without exclusion or marginalization of any component, can not be achieved effectively and practical only if the rule of the principle of citizenship in the state-building, and the political formations on the basis of programs and projects and curricula intellectual, political and not by affiliations and identities basic people.
There was consensus in the diagnosis of the damage and the negative effects caused by nationalist and religious quotas governed by the various levels of leadership for government action, administrative, and the distribution of ministries and bodies on forces Altassh. It was also alert to the need to sort and discrimination between the principle of consensus required to state-building, which holds the acceptance and satisfaction of all components of the Iraqi people, and between Echtzelh concept to narrow partisan quotas in positions of power-sharing. What is needed is to move away from quotas and restrict the level of participation in the country's leadership by the elections, which is the practice in all democratic countries.
Several ideas were made to mitigate the effects of quotas on the ability of the Prime Minister to exercise his powers and his role in the running of the government, he was allowed to choose the Prime Minister Minister of shares of the components according to the standards of competence and integrity.
And concluded discussions on this topic to the formation of a majority government becomes feasible and acceptable if it was boot him system of reforms and legislation and procedures, including a law Anntkhabat fair, and the formation of the Federal Council and the adoption of the principle of citizenship in building state agencies and take practical steps to get out of Tzam quotas, in addition to make constitutional amendments.
It is difficult to expect serious changes to the quota system is not formed coalitions on the basis of a trans-national communities and nationalities.
