Iraqi President, Minister "Tie the Knot"

By Aws Al-Sharqy, IOL Correspondent

BAGHDAD, September 4 IslamOnline - Iraqi President Sheikh Ghazi Al-Yawar got married to Minister of Public Works Nesrine Barwari, one of the guests who attended the wedding party told IslamOnline.net Saturday September 4.

According to the source, who preferred not to be named, the wedding took place Thursday, September 2, during a family party in the town of Arbil, northern Iraq. Al-Yawar, 46, along with a limited number of Iraqi public figures and some relatives, were received by the members of the Minister's family and relatives.

It is expected the marriage will effectively take place before the President leaves on a European tour due to take place within the coming weeks.

Barwari, 34, is one of seven Kurdish ministers who joined the current cabinet under Iyad Allawi. She belongs to the Democratic Kurdistan Party headed by Massoud Barzani.

She survived an assassination attempt several months ago at which many of her companions were wounded.

Sources close to Al-Yawar's clan point out that this is the third marriage of the Iraqi President.

Born in 1970, Nesrine is a Sunni Muslim and is a graduate of the faculty of engineering, Baghdad University in 1991.

Al-Yawar is the son of the well-known figure of Mosul Ogeil Al-Yawar, head of Shamar clan in Iraq.

Sheikh Yawar is born in Nenewa governorate, to the north of Iraq. He is a Sunni; yet, some of his tribesmen inhabiting the southern governorates belong to the Shiite sect of Islam.

Shamar clan comprises three million Sunni and Shiite Iraqis. The clan extends from Syria to the north to Saudi Arabia in the south, passing through Iraq and Kuwait.

Sheikh Ghazi Al-Yawar, a graduate of geological engineering, George Town University in the United States, presided over a telecommunication corporation in Saudi Arabia.

Al-Yawar spent some 15 years in the company before going back home upon the end of the former Iraqi regime of the deposed president Saddam Hussein in April 2003, and was appointed a member of the transitional governing council.

Al-Yawar was then appointed President of Iraq in June 2004 to be the fifth Iraqi President following Abdel-Karim Qassem, Abdel-Salam Aref, Abdel-Rahman Aref, Ahmed Hassan Al-Bakr and Saddam Hussein.
