also at the urging of President Barack Obama and his Defense Secretary Robert Gates traveled to the Iraqi Prime Minister Al Maliki today in the autonomous Kurdish region in the north of the country. Background of this insistence is that the United States America after a U.S. withdrawal from Iraqi cities and the planned complete withdrawal from Iraq in 2011 will ensure lasting peace in the country.
But not only the central government is unusually cooperative in the negotiations - the Kurdish representatives are willing to compromise because both sides are interested in a quick solution for example to adopt an oil law, which governs the distribution of oil revenue, because only Iraq may increase its revenue significantly - it is not clear, however, nor the distribution of income.
Another contentious issue in the negotiations is the question of the area about the size of the future autonomous Kurdistan region will decide, because under Saddam Hussein in many historically Kurdish regions, other Arabs and Turkmens settled the rule do not Kurdish - as well as in the potential capital of Kirkuk.
The recent elections in Kurdistan in the emerged new opposition calls for the clarification of this question before the area can be made attractive to non-Kurds would have to prevent the oppression itself was developing. The issue of Kirkuk would thus priority.
CONCLUSION
Now the Kurdish autonomous region and could finally get in some years (or decades) s may have their own state - and after them the Turks have already promised 100 years ago but never met. I hope that the agreements regulate the internal political stability of Iraq after the withdrawal of troops.
