From AINA , with thanks to Nicolei, who comments: "It seems that the Arabs' cry for the "right to return" applies only to the Palestinian Arabs."

Demonstrators from both Turkmen and Arab Shiites ethnic groups turned out for a rally held in the northern oil-rich city of Kirkuk Friday night, to denounce the a transitional law and its article 58, which if implemented, would give the right of return to tens of thousands of Kurds to Kirkuk.

Local Sadr spokesman, Sheik Ahmed al-Lamy said, "Kirkuk must remain a city that belongs to all religions: Turkmen, Christian, Arabs and Kurdish, and that it must not be dominated by Kurdish rule alone."

Interim Foreign Minister Kurd Hoshyar al-Zebari said that the government was committed to resettling displaced Kurds, but also placed importance on the arbitration over property disputes that may arise between the Arabs and the Kurds.
