President Rashid: Regional Conflicts are not Impossible To Solve
Iraq 11:16 PM - 2024-02-28President Rashid's interview with al-Hadath TV
Iraqi President stated in an interview that
Kurdistan's powers are constitutional, and as Iraq is a federal state that
upholds the rights of the Region, no Iraqi party may call for their withdrawal.
"While regional problems are not impossible
to overcome, Iraqi security forces are proficient and capable of handling both
internal and external threats," he added.
During an interview with al-Hadath TV, Iraqi
President Abdullatif Jamal Rashid stated: "Our relations with Turkey are
favorable in terms of politics, trade, and investment, but we have some
security concerns that must be resolved within the framework of
negotiations."
"Iraq is experiencing a water crisis. We
rely on foreign water resources and advocate for agreement with Iran and Turkey
to guarantee equitable distribution for all," he added.
Regarding the Kurdistan Region, the President
said: "The powers of the Kurdistan Region are constitutional, and there is
no official Iraqi party to demand the deprivation of these powers. Iraq is a
federal state that ensures the rights of the Kurdistan Region. Although there
are disputes between the federal government and the Kurdistan Region regarding
budget, oil, and salaries. Discussions are ongoing through the joint
committees, and we are certain that they will yield favorable outcomes."
"The international coalition was
established to combat terrorism and ISIS. With the current absence of the ISIS
threat, the Iraqi security forces are now at a good level to handle both
internal and external problems," he said.
President Rashid further said: "We oppose
the utilization of Iraqi territory for launching attacks or making threats
against any neighboring nation. Kurds from Iran and Turkey who have relocated
to Iraq should respect this principle."
"The international coalition has reached an
agreement with the Iraqi government, and any timeline for their stay or
withdrawal from Iraq will be determined by the government in consultation with
political factions and the Iraqi parliament, with the Iraqi government making
the final decision," he said.
"We have been successful in bringing the
perspectives of Saudi Arabia and Iran closer together, and we are currently
working to get Syria back into the Arab League in addition to our other efforts
on other regional concerns," he added, "Regional conflicts are not
irreconcilable and can be handled. Rather than waging wars and conflicts, we
place an emphasis on achieving common goals by utilizing the region's enormous
resources."
