alt Shafaq News / Spokesman of the "popular movement" of the protestors in the six provinces of Iraq said on Tuesday, that they have four options to resolve the current crisis, most prominently, the formation of a region.
Claims have escalated in the recent period to form a region that combines Sunni provinces.
But Sunni politicians and even religion men seems to be divided on this issue.
Government parties say that the idea of Iraqi Sunni region is supported externally.
"We have four options, the first is the replacement of Prime Minister, Nuri al-Maliki, split, formation of a region, or confrontation," the spokesman for the popular movement, Mohammed Taha Hamadoun told "Shafaq News".
A region option is the closest option, as he believes that "it is a way for many people to get rid of the injustice that they suffer by the central government".
Hamadoun revealed convening seminars and conferences (declined to disclose its location) on four options to get to an agreed point ".
Hamadoun described the election of Anbar and Nineveh councils, which will be held in the next days, as a "right statement," calling to "participate in it vigorously and effectively".
Anbar, Nineveh, Salahuddin, Diyala and Kirkuk provinces witness demonstrations and sit-ins against the federal government and Prime Minister, Nuri al-Maliki demanding to cancel the Justice and Accountability Law, Article 4 terrorism and release detainees.
While protesters positions were divided between supporters of the establishment of the regions and rejecters to it.
The sit-in Square in Anbar authorized the Parliament Speaker, Osama al-Nujaifi, a Sunni leader from the northern city of Mosul, to negotiate with the government on their behalf, but coordinating committees in Fallujah rejected thisauthorization.
Clashes took place more than ten days ago among the protesters in Fallujah, on the background of demonstrators carried banners calling for the division of the country in form of provinces.
The Constitution allows the formation of provinces in the country, but the Iraqi government says that what some of the protesters demanded is a "sectarian region".
