Tariq al-Hashemi, the Iraqi deputy president and the leader of Iraqi Islamic Party, reiterated: The current political structure of Iraq has turned into a problem and not a solution; to overcome the existing political stagnancy, changes in the combination of political coalitions have to be done, reported Dar-al Salam Daily.

Answering the question whether signing a memorandum of agreement suffices and he is in complete accord with the two Kurdish parties, Dr. Hashemi said: Obviously, we would like this to happen, and we shall try for it until it is fulfilled. There is a hope that other political parties also join this agreement.
