Posted On2022-09-16 By Sotaliraq   Baghdad..   Getting out of the political blockage and going towards forming a government has become conditional on achieving the interests of the Sunni and Kurdish forces and the external parties supporting them, especially the Turkish ones, a series whose episodes have been renewed despite the presence of optimism for the formation of the new government from the largest Shiite bloc to be applied afterwards as “every incident has a talk.”

During his speech, the representative of the State of Law coalition, Muhammad Al-Sihoud, pledged, “The stability of the political process is the dismissal of the Al-Kazemi government and its removal from power and the formation of the new government, accusing him of fabricating the political crisis since the elections and until the present time.”

The interests of the Kurds topped the political agenda during the current dialogues, as a member of the State of Law coalition, Fadel Al-Azrajawi, confirmed that “other non-Shiite blocs are not interested in the continuation of the conflict within the Shiite house, as they seek to achieve their interests, as the Kurds have placed most of their concern in obtaining 50 percent of Iraq’s imports.
