Threat of Withdrawal from Kurds

Nesrin Bervari, Minister of Public Works, the Kurdish member of the government told Reuters that they were to withdraw from the government, in case of a call by their leaders. Bervari said; All struggles which we carried out last year, went down the drain. We saw how democracy was mugged !

The UN resolution foresaw the transfer of sovereignty to the new government on June, 30 and the remaining of the coalition forces in Iraq; however the interim constitution which recognizes Kurdish autonomy in three regions in Northern Iraq, was not approved in the resolution.

Pointing out that she supported the stance of Barzani and Talabani, Bervari said that, refusing to recognize the interim constitution meant rejecting all the rights of minorities. Bervari said; U.S. disappointed us!
