Before the start of the morning session, ITF EU Representative, Dr Hassan AYDINLI,
welcomed the Iraqi Parliamentarians to the European Capital, wishing them a
successful Meeting with the European participants and a fruitful exchange of
views with the EU representatives and policy makers.
Having noticed, once more, the absence of a Turkmen
parliamentarian in the Iraqi Delegation to the EU Parliament, he deplored this
anomaly and complained about it to the head of the Iraqi Delegation Mr. Sadiq
AL-RIKABI, telling him that he felt that the Delegation had once more
been composed on a wrong basis as it did not represent the Iraqi people
entirely, given the absence of a Turkmen representative in the Delegation. Dr Hassan
AYDINLI added that unfortunately, this is not the first time that such
anomaly has occurred as it seems that it has become a rule in the Iraqi
Parliament to marginalize the Turkmens when composing Delegations to visit
important foreign countries and institutions like the European Parliament,
despite the fact that the same Iraqi Parliament has recognized that the
Turkmens represent the Iraqi people’s
third main component.
ITF EU Representative Dr Hassan Aydinli asked Mr. Sadiq AL-RIKABI
to transmit his remarks and his complaint about the absence of a Turkmen
representative in the Delegation to whom the matter may concern in Iraq and
especially to the President of the Iraqi Parliament Mr. Usama AL-NUJEYFI,
hoping that the above mentioned anomaly will cease soon and that a Turkmen
representative will be part of all future Iraqi Delegations visiting important foreign
capitals and/or institutions.
