London (KurdishMedia.com) 26 June 2009: Samir Salin, the political bureau member of the Kurdistan Islamic Union (KIU), said that if the results of elections are fraud, then we’ll take a stance. In the mean time, three American military battalions are put in the state of preparedness to face and quell any spasms and complexities resulted by armed groups. In a statement to Hawlati, Mr. Salim said that “if the people are not satisfied by the results of the elections, I am confidant that the [electoral] lists will not remain silent because competition is intense. There is a chance for fraud because there are already gaps within the [elections] commission with regard to its approach and the chance for fraud. We as the four Kurdistani parties will work as competitors in the arena and will not give in. I am confidant that the results will not be immune from fraud, but we want to keep it at a minimum.”
On the other hand, Fred Asesrd, the member of the PUK leadership committee, told Hawlati that "If the election results were not consistent with the desire of all the participating lists, there is fear that different stances may surface and citizens may come out to the streets. We hope that violence will not be part of any stances taken in the aftermath of the elections and nothing happens.”
Mr. Salif of the KIU also told Hawlati that “if any unhealthy military actions put the security of the Kurdistan people at stake, the US and the Iraqi military can intervene and control the situation. The Americans allow the use of medium size of force at present, and more than three U.S. battalions are stationed in the Kurdistan Region to monitor the situation closely. "
