The spokesperson of the Kurdistan Blocs Coalition in the Iraqi Parliament welcomed the activation of article 140's committee role saying this is a step towards solving problems between Baghdad and Erbil.
Muayad Taib said: "The committee members chose member from the Kurdistan Blocs Coalition Muhsin Sadoun as head of the committee and member from the Sadrist Movement Mushriq Naji as the deputy of Sadoun.

"The Kurdistan Blocs Coalition sees the activation of the committee's role and following up its work as a positive step towards implementing article 140 and solving the fate of disputed areas.

"The most important work of the committee is beginning its regulatory work next week, which is following up the work of the ministerial committee in charge of implementing article 140 of the Iraqi constitution."

Sadoun recently said: "The committee was formed by the Iraqi Parliament and its membership is 34 people. There was no control over the members of the committee because of the large membership and members were unaware of each others’ work. Connection among the members is a little hard in this way.”

He added: "Iraq's Parliament speaker requested to reduce the committee membership to 17 to implement its work better.

"Lately, because of the political division among the Iraqi parties, some members of the committee have not attended the meetings. Therefore the parliament speaker wanted the committee to be reorganized and the political split would not affect the committee."
