Nassiriya summit a failure Nassiriya, April 16, IRNA -- The first summit attended by members of the various Iraqi opposition groups, US officials and military commanders held in a military base in Nassiriya ended in failure on Tuesday. According to IRNA correspondents, except for a 13-point statement and an agreement to meet again 10 days later, the summit achieved no agreement on issues of contention. It was boycotted by the Supreme Assembly of the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SAIRI) as well five other main dissident groups. According to Abdolaziz Hakim, a leading member of the Supreme Council of the Islamic Revolution, the council did not participate in the summit because it was intended to enforce US dominance and hegemony over any other foreign state in the future affairs of Iraq. The summit ended with participants agreeing to hold another summit ten days later, according to IRNA's correspondents. Outside the summit's venue, thousands of Iraqis held a demonstration carrying banners protesting the Iraqi opposition members meeting inside as not being the real representatives of the people.
