Crisis talks delayed due to religious ceremony
Erbil, June 27 (AKnews) – A meeting for the leaders of the political blocs planned to be held at Iraqi President Jalal Talabani has been postponed to next week due to it coinciding with a Shia religious ceremony.
Mohsen Sadoun, a Kurdish MP, told AKnews that the mourning of the death Imam Kadhim, a Shia religious figure, caused the delay of the meetings that were expected to be held this week. Many of Baghdad’s streets have been shut due to security fears around the event.
