Stating
The United States is one of our closest allies in our common fight against terrorist entity Daash. The equal partnership between Iraq and the United States list on the basis of common interests and mutual respect within the strategic framework agreement between the two countries. The draft resolution, which was approved by the House of Representatives today any aspect of this partnership exemplified by the sacrifices made by the parties in the fight against the common enemy and does not reflect. And also raises Astgrabna that the draft resolution comes at the same time you're working in our armed forces, led by Dr. Haider Abadi, the prime minister with the international coalition forces led by the United States, to train and equip our troops from the sons of Anbar tribes to liberate their areas from the control of terrorists entity Daash
It should be noted that this draft resolution does not reflect the position of the United States towards Iraq since 2003 and so far did not reflect the policy of successive US administrations since then. And it does not represent the fact that the strong relationship between the two countries and that developed on the basis of democratic values
Common. But, unfortunately, may cause in the case of distrust among some Iraqis who do not have to inform and clear on the nature of the proceedings in the US Congress and prevailed in their belief that this draft resolution will become a binding law aims to promote division and sedition in our dear country.
The government of Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi coalition representing all the political blocs and regions in all parts of Iraq. Currently, our leaders take difficult decisions in the face of the terrorist threat entity Daash Iraq unite to build and prosper under the banner of our people all components of Arabs, Kurds and Turkmen, Shiites, Sunnis, Christians and others from other minorities alike.
With this strategic goal in mind and we reject all the power band factors and division carried by some of the paragraphs of the draft resolution, which does not reflect the reality in Iraq, nor for the national spirit, which play an essential role in defeating Daash entity.
The new government of Iraq led by Dr. Haider Abadi, the prime minister is committed to providing all the resources needed by the people of Iraq to liberate those who care about their areas of control Daash organization working through and with Iraqi security forces. The induction of components of the people on each other, as does the draft resolution, will only weaken our unity and to allow for the organization of Daash and other extremists penetration among our ranks.
Due to all the reasons that have been mentioned, and while going through this draft resolution various legislative channels, we are determined to work with key members of the US Congress and the US administration to modify this article and deliver the priorities of the Iraqi government and promoting common visions.
