I wonder noone has post that!




Iraqi Parliament passed the Iraqi Provincial Election Law of councils for governorates, districts and sub districts and the elections are anticipated to take place early 2009 (with the exception of Kirkuk and the three Kurdish dominated governorates of Arbil, Sulaimaniya and Dohuk).

However, the big coalitions of the Kurds and Arabs (Shi'aa and Sunni) in Iraqi Parliament voted as well to eliminate article 50 from the the Iraqi Provincial Election Law. This article guaranteed our people quotas (13 seats: 3 in Baghdad, 3 in Nineveh, 2 in Kirkuk, 2 in Arbil, 2 in Dohuk, and 1 in Basra) that was approved on July 22, 2008. The Iraqi Provincial Election Law of councils for governorates, districts and sub districts passed on July 22, however, the Kurdish coalition did not vote on it. Later, the Iraqi President Council (Including the Kurdish President Jalal Talabani) did not approve it; therefore, the law was referred back to parliament. The Kurdish coalition played a negative role in this new episode as usual.

Members of parliament Younadam Kanna and Abd al-Ahad Afram Sawa protested against the action. Meanwhile, U.N. rep. in Iraq Di Mistura met with Head of Parliament and criticized the law.

com on Waleeta,,that was the 2nd time..how about the first one..

seriousley, I thougt that ADM will get at leat 4 seats ouf of 5,, they did not get that because of what???


to many votes ??????????????????? Leeshany peeshewa Tarpa, explaining to ppl. why they should vote.
 
ya, lets blame it on them as usuall,, I belive they blocked some villages in Nenweh plain only, what about the rest of the World,,


of all what Kurds had done to us, this was not thier doing and fault,,

it was our ignorance, Period...azizta
 
No, not only in the NIneveh Plains, all over the north. They literally blocked dozens of ballot boxes, and many which were filled "disappeared" on their way to be counted. So yes, I will blame them in this, as it is their fault.

I realize Assyrians tend to blame many things on Kurds when they shouldn't - but seriously, this is a valid concern, to the point that even the US Military and State Department published their concerns about it.  Azista.

You are wrong about kurdish coalition, they have agreed the new law. Why should they disagree? its for their own best, any waye I have some kurdish sources here, according these source that they are happy with the new  Law of councils for governorates...

Even if you Assyrians have 5 seats yet it won?t help to change the law, we are talking about 55 and 120 seats of kurdish and arabic seats.

Anywaye has Mr Yonadam Kanna voted against? Well to be honest I will be suprise if he does? Guys have any of you any source or link that  says about Mr Yonadam Kanna and his vote? I will like to read that...

In Sweden They didn?t block your votes and yet I saw barely Assyrians to vote the electiond day! Despite many Assyrians lives here? why didn?t they vote? one of the was my friend? He told me that he will never vote because it doesn?t concern him anymore, that he is living here and won?t never move back? but and the other hand I saw many of my kurdish and arabs friends to vote that day. 

Waleeta pls blame kurds on this one too? won?t you?
 
Aga, you're incredibly boring, but I'll answer:

European Assyrians were lazy.

Now, back to Iraq and the b*stard KDP Peshmerga and PUK who didn't allow us to vote....

haha iam not that boring? Am I? any way, well, good start to  admit that European Assyrians were lazy? so all this vote depended on Iraqi Assyrians? I just can?t imagine in which way would Peshamaraga stop Assyrians to vote? didn?t they vote in Dahuk,Arbil,Ankawa,shakla as well? I am lillte bit confused when you say kurds blocked our votes? maybe in Mosaul villages but believe me kurds lost many votes there too? according KRG the arabs didn?t send enough vote boxes.

I  have been a member of this web since 2006 and I have  never said or denyed Assyirans existince but what I have been trying to tell you is how possible is for Assyrians to get their own region since you Assyrians arent the majority of any region of iraqi soild. What more I have tried to tell you is that you Assyrians should stick with the reality not in dreams and why does Assyrians blames kurds evrying things? Thats what I have been trying to tell you dear cuttie?

Can someone post the language of article 50...

Second I am really HAPPY that the "erraqi parliament" eliminated this article. I am just wondering what it will take for Assyrians to realize that erraq is not their country, that they are unwanted, and that they can never further the Assyrian national cause by participating in such a manufactured "nation such as erraq". 

Assyrians should not be upset that the "erraqis" eliminate laws that "el as as" help the Assyrian minority, we should have expected it....  We should be more upset that our "representatives" in the eraqqi parliament  have not resigned their commissions...

I hope Assyrians start doing the right thing and pressuring their "representatives" in the erraqi parliament to resign their positions immediately.If erraq doesnt want us to be apart of their wonderful little incestous "country", I say **** them, we will not be..

It is time to say **** IRAQ and get the **** off ASSYRIAN LAND!

Im sorry for the misunderstandings i have mistaken you for the other pro kurd in this website. You correct you never said we don't exist. That i made i mistake in. I still disagree with everything else you say. Assyrians don't blame the kurds for everything, we blame them when the blame should be put on them.  Also i have never said i no everything about you. I do a lot of reading and i know where you stand and you are a very pro kurd in all your post. I made i mistake and thought you made the one who posted that the  Assyrian today aren't "real" Assyrians in another topic and i do apologize for that.
