BAGHDAD - A follow-up morning
Called on the Kuwaiti deputy Walid Al-Tabatabai to the transfer port Mubarak away from the waters of Iraq territory. The call Tabatabai first of its kind for a member of the Kuwaiti National Assembly, which supports the position of Iraq on a port of Mubarak. Said Tabatabai: It opposes the construction of the port of Mubarak Al-Kabeer off Iraqi waters, "and urged Kuwaiti government to transfer the port to another place to head off the crisis caused by the construction with Iraq.*** He told him Elaph-mail yesterday: "I am opposed to the presence of the port in this place***. Has stated and written articles opposed to the establishment of the port at this location for technical reasons, as it requires the place to deepen the water even more. "He pointed out that" The area is fragile security is difficult to protect and the target port is to deliver the goods and large ships to Iraq. "And on the direction of Iraq to establish a port of Faw before the announcement from the Port of Mubarak Al-Kabir, a member of the National Assembly: "I believe that without an agreement with Iraq, the feasibility of establishing a port Mubarak failed. I wish that there be serious thought to establish a Kuwaiti port in another location away from the place of the current port of Mubarak Al-Kabeer. "In terms of the proportion completing the port of Mubarak and how to move, and Tabatabai stated that he" could be used in the work of others. I ask the Kuwaiti government to transfer the port to the southern island of Bubiyan or anywhere else, in order to cut the root out the problem that got between us and Iraq, a problem made up. All of the justifications put forward by objectors in Iraq is incorrect, this port serves over Iraq from Kuwait because it deepens the waterways around ten miles to the port of Faw. So I ask the Kuwaiti government to cut off root out the problem and move, and the lack of economic feasibility of it. "And on the leaks that Kuwait rushed to build the port of Mubarak Al-Kabeer because they had learned the structure of U.S. hired the islands of Warba and Bubiyan to Iraq for 99 years, Fastbakt Kuwait by setting up the port to go the way of this proposal the U.S., said "This idea is excluded. A talk is not accepted. We believe that the transfer port to another place and end the problem, and let Iraq build a port that is needed on its territory. "In context, they demanded the MP for the Iraqi bloc white high Nassif existing Iraqi President Iyad Allawi, to exercise its role as a member of the Council of Arab relations International, in resolving the issue of port Mubarak. and said in a statement to transfer the Information Office of the cluster: "The Iraqi street is expected that the Allawi resolve the issue of port Mubarak through persuade Kuwait to back down from the construction of this port or change its location with no effect in the ports of Iraq." For his part, MP for a coalition of state law Mohammed Saadoun Chihod the Iraqi government to boycott the goods and products and Kuwaiti companies investing in Iraq. He said in a press statement: "The principle of reciprocity of the basic principles in international relations from the laws set by the international organizations based on mutual respect and common interests."
