Baghdad ready to approve final accord with Kurds

Iraqi Baath Party member Saad Kassem announced that Iraq is ready to reach a final accord with Iraqi Kurds away from foreign intervention, specifically US and British intervention.

Kassem added that dialogue with Kurdish opposition parties is still open, but the main problem was the United States' role, which he said threatens the Kurdish side, preventing it from reaching any accord with Baghdad.

He also said that Iraq wants a national peaceful solution within the framework of a united Iraq without any role by a foreign side, adding that Iraq has no legal or constitutional problem with resuming the dialogue as the Iraqi leadership announced its readiness to discuss all points of view aimed at reaching a peaceful solution.
