BAGHDAD/ Aswat al-Iraq: Free Iraqiya bloc MP Alia Nsaif believes that solving all political questions "lies in abandoning narrow interests' inclinations and rejection of foreign interventions".
In a statement by the bloc, she added that "the real reform depends on true desire of the political blocs to rectify the political routes and prevent foreign interventions in internal politics, which led to the chaos in the internal arena".
She stressed that all political parties should desert narrow ideas and party gains to achieve of a state of harmony in the country.
Iraq has been witnessing continued political crisis which culminated in some demands to demote Premier Maliki who was charged with "dictatorial" behavior.
Arbil-Najaf alliance (consisting of Iraqiya Bloc, Sadrist Trend and the Kurdish Alliance) tried to withdraw confidence from Maliki, charging him with "unilaterally ruling the state and violating the constitution."
President Talabani refused to respond to the powers demanding Maliki's demotion, noting that the demand bore less than 164 signatories, stressing that dialogue and the National Conference are the best ways to overcome political crises.
Talabani's stance stirred criticism from Iraqiya Bloc, the Sadrist Trend and some Kurdish MPs who described his opinion as "unexpected."
A number of meetings were held in Arbil, Najaf and Sulaimaniya over the last few weeks among the blocs that demanded Maliki's demotion to determine their final stand on the political crisis.
