2.  (U)  Newspapers reported on KRG President's condemnation of the 
recent terrorist attacks in Baghdad, Babil, and Kirkuk.  He 
described the attacks as "cowardly" and acts of 
"anti-stabilization". He also expressed his condolences to the

institutions into centralized KRG authority.  The ministries of 
justice are one of the four ministries that was left under separate 
KDP and PUK party control during the unification that took place at 
the beginning of 2006.

Honesty."  The conference was presided over by the Governor of 
Sulaimaniyah and was attended by KRG Deputy Prime Minister, the 
Minister of Reconstruction, Regional Reconstruction Team 
representatives, and representatives from all local governmental 
offices.  Reports on all aspects of developing Sulaimaniyah were 
read on the first day of the conference including hydrocarbons, 
electricity, traffic, architecture, industry, and municipalities. 
Group discussions will run today in order to reach final decisions 
about an agenda for reconstructing and enhancing the infrastructure 
of the Sulaimaniyah province.

with Kurdish-language compatibility by LG.  The announcement was 
made at a ceremony at the Sheraton Hotel in Erbil attended by KRG 
Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani, the KRG Minister of Commerce, the 
Governor of Erbil, Kurdish businessmen, and the CEO of LG.  The LG 
CEO thanked the KRG for the support and facilitation it has provided 
for the success of this project. 
 
Commentaries: 
--------------------------------------------- ----- 
 
8.  (U)  Awene newspaper published a statement by Hiwa Sabir, 
Secretary of the Kurdistan Islamic Union Political Bureau that 
 
SIPDIS 
dividing the KRG budget for the year 2007 between the PUK and the 
KDP is an act of terrorism against the Kurdish Parliament.  Sabir 
told Awene that dividing the budget between the PUK and the KDP at a 
rate of 52% for the KDP and 48% for the PUK will jeopardize the 
Kurdish Parliament and reinforce corruption in the KRG. 
 
9.  (U)  PUKmedia.com published a statement by PUK's representative 
in Turkey, Bahroz Gallali, calling for an independent state of 
 
BAGHDAD 00000403  002.2 OF 002 
 
 
Kurdistan.  "I and all Kurds want an independent state of Kurdistan. 
 We would establish a state of Kurdistan immediately if we could 
without fear or hesitation, but the current situation is not 
suitable for that," Gallali said.  He also called on Turkey to 
support the establishment of the state of Kurdistan because a state 
is not only a name-it means economy, politics, and foreign 
relations.
