Maliki last week made his second trip to Iran since taking office in what many critics claimed was proof of Iran's influence over his government.
In his speech yesterday, the prime minister defended the trip and said he would continue traveling to other countries to seek help in stemming the violence.
Maliki said he planned to discuss at the crisis talks demands for political reform made by various factions, including the Accordance Front, which has withdrawn its ministers from Cabinet meetings. "We will see if these demands are legitimate or not and we will apologize if it is not possible to implement them," he said .
