Turkmen representative on Iraqi council wants Kirkuk police disarmed
Police in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk should be disarmed in order to prevent a repetition of Turkmen-Kurdish strife that left three Turkmen dead, the Turkmen's representative on Iraq's interim Governing Council said Sunday.


"I call for disarming Kirkuk's police because weapons are the source of the problem we are going through," Shangul Shapuk told AFP a day after the unrest.


"The situation in the city is tragic. The Kurds control everything, including the police ... I urge them not to try to dominate the Turkmen," said Ms Shapuk, warning against "an explosion in the town."
