Sunnis Plan to Offer Counterproposals
Advertisements [?]
BAGHDAD, Iraq - A Sunni negotiator said Saturday the Sunni constitutional team saw no "essential changes" in a compromise offer made by the Shiites and Kurds, and they will respond later with their own proposals.


"We are studying the draft now but we do not see any essential change or amendment as we have asked," Fakhri al-Qaisi said. "We will give them our proposal on this subject."

Al-Qaisi said the Sunnis "will not abandon our stance" that the issue of federalism — both in principle and mechanism — be postponed for the next parliament to decide.

The Shiites made an offer to delay a decision on the details of how federalism — or the establishment of self-ruled regions — would be implemented until after parliamentary elections in December.
