Kurdistan's Ministry of Natural Resource so vulnerable to criticism, says Jundiani

ERBIL, September 3 (AKnews)

The spokesperson of the politburo of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) said a ministry such as the Ministry of Natural Resources in the Kurdistan Region is so important but has a weak structure, meaning it is definitely vulnerable to criticism.

Azad Jundiani in an interview with local paper Rudaw said: "It has always been like that, the Ministry of Natural Resources' basic work is in one person's hand, which is the minister. That's why the ministry is facing criticism. 

"We [the PUK] are working to bring our views closer with the Kurdistan Democratic Party (PDK) about modification to Kurdistan's constitution but still we haven't discussed it in detail. We will ask experts about this issue too."

Kurdistan's constitution has 122 articles and was approved in August 2009.

With regard to the strategic agreement between both parties, Jundiani said: "The PUK and the PDK are concurrent on the strategic agreement between them, because both sides believe this agreement benefits Kurds in this stage."
