Baghdad, Aug 12, (VOI)- Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki called on Sunday for a summit meeting by political leaders during the two upcoming days.

"The internal political problems the country is suffering from, have forced me to make a call for the Iraqi political leaders to meet in a summit during the next two days," Maliki told a news conference in Baghdad.

The Prime Minister added "the aim behind the summit is to address basic topics arisen in the Iraqi political arena as well as considering the political program and the strategic problems facing the government."

"The meeting is to address the political program agreed upon when the current government was formed and ways to implement it. Demands submitted by individual blocs will be discussed as allowed by the constitution," Maliki told reporters concerning the topics on the meeting agenda.

The Iraqi Prime Minister who expected a number of decisions out of the summit including naming substitute ministers to replace the Sadrists who quit from the cabinet said "we will not stop at discussing the demands by the blocs; rather we will consider the commitments they have to honor as well."

"Demands submitted by the blocs will be implemented if they complied with the constitution, otherwise we will apologize for them," Maliki noted.

As regards naming new Sunni ministers to replace the quit Accordance Front ministers, the Iraqi Prime Minister said "we hope that the crisis will end and the Accordance ministers be back to the cabinet but if they refused to do so we will find ourselves obliged to replace them."

Al-Maliki also stressed that his government will not collapse saying "it is a wish by some but it is far the day when people would see the government in its count down." The Prime Minister applauded the Iraqi security forces saying "the forces are working on two parallel lines to strike with iron arm on the heads of terror and to increase, develop and train the already existing troops."

"The terror going on in Iraq has links to foreign states that were adopting ideologies hostile to Iraq but recently they felt that supporting terror will make it spread outside Iraq to other countries," the Iraqi Premier told reporters.

The Prime Minister who just ended official visits to Turkey and Iran told the news conference that he got pledges from Turkey and Iran to support Iraq in face of violence and providing basic services to its people, noting that he would visit other regional countries in the upcoming days.

Al-Maliki also welcomed the U.N. resolution to expand its work in Iraq saying "the resolution is in favor of the government as it will enhance our efforts and policies."
