As president of Iraq, I shall strive to represent the diversity of a country that has too often in the past denied difference.
Our plan is to struggle against terrorism and have security for the country and help draft a democratic constitution as soon as possible.
Under extremely difficult circumstances (Iraq) pursues the inherently complicated task of rebuilding the country. Yet Iraq continues, courageously, to reach for the promise of a democratic, federal and pluralistic state, where generations of oppressed Iraqis will regain their dignity, freedom and the right to join the civilized and progressive nations of the world.
Iraq is not going to starve to death because of the absence of assistance from Arab countries.
We are not denying that Turkey has a right to defend itself from extremists but some of its actions are not serving any democratic purpose in Turkey or in Iraq. This will not benefit the relations between the two countries.
