| Suleimaniya, May 20, (VOI) - The Iraqi President Jalal Talabani on Tuesday expected Iraqi forces would take control of security by the end of this year. Speaking in press briefing at Suleimaniya airport before flying to Baghdad, Talabani said “Iraqi forces have been progressing and enhancing their combat capabilities to take control of security of all Iraqi territories.” “Next year will witness a remarkable improvement in security across the country,” he added. When asked about the proposed cabinet of Kurdistan’s regional government, he said “we must have patience,” noting “it would be formed soon.” President Talabani held talks with Kurdistan’s regional President Massoud Barazani on the new cabinet for the Kurdish region. Kurdistan enjoys semi-autonomus rule and has had a regional government running the region since 1991. |
