Iraqi Accord Front to make "significant" decisions in days -- Al-Hashemi

BAGHDAD, May 12 (KUNA) -- The Iraqi Accord Front is posed to make "significant" decisions on several choices in few days' time, Iraqi Vice-President Tariq al-Hashemi said on Saturday, expressing optimism on "the new political scene in the country." During an extraordinary meeting for the Front held today, Al-Hashemi reviewed the results of his meetings with the Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki and other officials over the past few days.

"The Iraqi Accord Front has few days to make important decision over many choices tabled before it. Priority will be given to dialogue" Al-Hashemi told the meeting "These decisions will be significant and will hit the deep roots of the political process, but not at all to rise to the level of a coup as the rumor goes." Al-Hashemi, however, did not reveal the nature of such decisions, nor the tendencies of the Front, one of the biggest in Iraqi parliament.

He noted that during the meeting with the Premier, he found fresh atmosphere that aroused his optimism, adding "there are many steps, requiring government decisions, that will, undoubtedly, contribute to secure success for these meetings and will have their positive impact on the political process and stability of Iraq." The Iraqi Vice-President had last week ended a weeks long boycott with Al-Maliki when he visited the Premier in his office in Baghdad coinciding with a phone call from US president George Bush and Al-Maliki. This was a day before the visit by the US Vice President Dick Cheney to Baghdad.
