Kurdish parties oppose toppling Saddam
Iraq, Politics, 2/16/2002

The Iraqi Kurdish parties which rally with the US on Friday announced opposition to the American moves to remove the Iraqi President Saddam Hussein by means of force.

Rosh Shawiz, the chairman of the so called the Kurdish parliament in the Iraqi northern "Pocket" said during his current talks with British officials that all feel concerned towards the American moves concerning Iraq.

Shawiz added that the Kurds live in a relative stability during the few past years in north Iraq and this situation enabled them to organize their matters.

British political sources described the statements made by the Kurdish official as a blow to the intention of the US to launch military acts against Iraq to remove the ruling system in Baghdad.

The sources said that the Kurdish groups are not enthusiastic for the American military act against Iraq because of possible consequences on the conditions of the Kurds of north Iraq.
