Iraqi Issues

HIS MAJESTY KING ABDULLAH II THE ROYAL HASHEMITE COURT INTERVIEW WITH AL-GHAD Key Messages «o www.alg had.jo IRAQI ISSUES (Today, Iraq is in dire need for an inclusive, national political process in which all can participate.)) Iraq has and will remain a support for Jordan, as we will remain a support for Iraq throughout history.)) (We deeply believe in the unity and foresight of the Iraqi people and their ability to overcome challenges, and we are keen on maintaining the unity of all components of Iraqi society. )) Marginalising any component of the community means marginalising stability and giving way to extremism and threatening the unity of Iraq, its land and its people. )) IRAQ Today, Iraq is in dire need for an inclusive, national political process in which all can participate without exclusion of any component, to reach consensual solutions as achieved in the country's presidency and parliament, and we hope that will also apply to the premiership. )) (( The fact that the Syrian crisis has continued unresolved led to a spill-over into Iraq, exemplified in the rise of extremist movements in the country's west, as I have warned before. )) ( The continued absence of an inclusive political process and a government that represents all components of the Iraqi community will nurture the environment supporting extremism and terrorism, which will further complicate the chances for resolving the Syrian crisis. )) ( All segments of the Iraqi community should rest assured that Jordan's stances and actions will be in their best collective interest because we believe we are for all Iraqis and our interests lie with the interests of the Iraqi people to be strong and united.)) ( Jordan supports Iraq's efforts in bolstering its internal front and we stand firm against extremism and terrorist organisations. We will continue these efforts while addressing all segments of Iraq's community on equal footing. )) @RHCJO tO OSA
