Kurds should separate from Iraq, says deputy prime minister
Iraqs deputy prime minister sees no problem in Kurdistan breaking away from mainland Iraq and forming a new country, and personally he would support the move as long as Kurds restrict themselves to areas that are not Arab.
In an exclusive interview with TRENDS, sister publication of Kipp Report, Saleh Muhammed Al Mutlaq said it will be better for Iraq if Kurds get their own country.
Speaking on the sidelines of the World Economic Forums Jordan summit, the prominent Sunni politician said the Iraqi-Kurdish relationship has been very complex from the beginning, and they have to decide whether they want to stay with Iraq or get their separate country.
The Kurds have to decide on their fate once and for all because these differences on opinion and policies between Erbil and Baghdad cannot continue for long, he said. Born in Fallujah, Mutlaq was an active member of the Baath party, but was expelled in 1977 for being critical of the then government.
He currently heads Iraqi Front for National Dialogue, which is the fifth largest political entity in the Iraqi parliament.

Sorry to poke my nose to those Shi'ee Iraqis but this is only the beginning. The Sunnis who are calling for Federalism are not calling it for without thinking about what they really want. They have a perfect example in Kurdistan. Do you really think the Kurds wont help the Sunnis in creating their own federal state?
