Abdul-Halim Khaddam, the former Vice President of Syria, reiterated Syria’s support for the Iraqi people’s liberation, independence, and the construction of their state on the entirety of their national territory during his meeting yesterday with a delegation from Iraqi tribes led by Mr. Mohammed Tahir. He emphasized the importance of national unity and Iraqi solidarity to face the current challenges Iraq is experiencing, aiming to alleviate its suffering and pains caused by the occupation of its land.

Khaddam clarified that the Iraqi people are the only ones entitled to determine their destiny, build their state and future, and manage their country through elections supervised by the United Nations. He warned against any disruption in the process of national unity, as it would have serious repercussions on all Iraqis, regardless of their backgrounds.

Listening to the daily struggles of the Iraqi people and their aspirations to build their independent state on their entire national territory, Mr. Khaddam expressed Syria’s unwavering national stance and support for the Iraqi people.

Khaddam stated during the press meeting that Syria is working hard to provide all possible assistance to the Iraqi people to alleviate the damages they are suffering, expressing hope that the Iraqi brothers will be able to achieve their national aspirations in the near future.

Regarding the current situation in Iraq and its future, Khaddam emphasized that there is a national consensus in Iraq on the necessity of ending the occupation and rebuilding the Iraqi state, ensuring the participation of all Iraqis in managing their affairs and determining their future through elections supervised by the United Nations. He highlighted the importance of maintaining national unity and avoiding any actions that could jeopardize it.

In response to a question about the possibility of establishing federalism in Iraq, Khaddam stated that all matters related to the constitutional, legal, and political structure of Iraq are decided by the Iraqi people through free elections. No one can adopt any viewpoint before the Iraqi people express their opinion on this matter.

Regarding Syrian-Turkish-Iranian coordination on the Iraqi issue, Khaddam explained that there are communications taking place between the capitals of these countries and Arab countries on this matter. All Arab countries, as well as Iran and Turkey, are concerned about the situation in Iraq and call for its liberation, transferring power to the Iraqi people, and ending the occupation.
