[ltr]{Baghdad: Al-Furat News} Our agency publishes the comprehensive interview with President Barham Saleh in the presence of a number of media including Al-Furat satellite channel, and dealt with internal and external files.[/ltr]
[ltr]The text of the interview: [/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. President, welcome to the Palace of Peace. I would like to welcome you here at the Peace Palace. I want this dialogue to be a direct dialogue in which we talk about the country's concerns about political developments and our aspirations for the future. Aiming for the good of the homeland and citizenship. And we shall begin with you, that I may not go any further, nor take of your time. [/ltr]

Q: Talking about reforming the political process after 16 years of the new regime and the new situation, there is a long talk about reforming this political process. What are the mechanisms by which this reform will take place? Always get pressure from the street but of course be late and very simple?[/ltr]
[ltr]
This is an important question, and perhaps the biggest challenge to the Iraqi state project at this moment must be put in its proper context. Iraq has not known stability for at least four decades if not more than the Iran-Iraq war to invade Kuwait. The siege of 2003 and its repercussions and the events that took place, this people did not know stability and our country is free from terrorism and subjected to the attacks of a fierce onslaught of terrorist forces really when you put things in context and this is often when I talk with foreign leaders remind them of this reality experienced by Iraq And lived Iraqis .. The truth of the Arab S out of those wounds Mtkhana no doubt about that, but there are challenges insistence by the Iraqis to move forward and get to the free life that they deserve a decent stable citizen. From 2003 to today we are partners in the political process This political process succeeded in important things including the writing of the constitution, including elections, including the peaceful transfer of power, the issue of peaceful transfer of power in the heart of the Middle East is not easy or easy, President McCron asked me about the situation in Iraq and its features I said The former president of the republic lives free and walks around freely, as does the former prime minister. I wish the current president, when my job ends, to be on the same situation. This scene is unusual in our country, so that there are not many failures but serious failures. What is happening in Basra is low. For services, count The existence of legal protection in many issues in the regions, the non-return of the displaced, the recurrence of the cycle of violence and the spread of terrorism. These are all manifestations and failures that accompanied the political process and are at its core from 2003 until today. We have no choice but dialogue. Yes, there is the political class. However, in my assessment, the social phenomenon is also important. It means that there is an important social and civil movement at different levels. I see it as an important pillar of the reform process. The response between the political class and the social movement will lead to a series of reforms necessary to correct the political process. If we hosted the first national consultative meeting, it was an important fact. For the first time, but for a long time, such meetings did not take place. Many of the parties who were involved in many issues participated. We met at one table and despite the existence of an agenda talking about the vocabulary of government work, "Let's talk about the basic issue before us, which is to correct the political process and achieve the required reforms," he said. I wish, through such dialogues, to stand up to those reforms that are required. First, we have a constitution that we have entrusted to ourselves through a popular referendum, but this constitution is one of the least restrictive clauses. Perhaps changing the constitution will not be easy, but at least to agree on a national interpretation. The gathering of some of these items, which may be confused by some ambiguity and fog is very important because usually every 4 years in the elections we meet at the negotiating table to form a government this ministry for this party and this ministry for that party and agree on a government program but to go deep into this subject, The political I call In this period, I will be serious about following up on this issue. How will we diagnose the inherent imbalance in the political process and how can we come up with successful solutions? In the end there is a great community development in Iraq.[/ltr]
[ltr] The people of Basra are not satisfied. The Sunnis are dissatisfied with the performance of the government or the Sunni ruling class. The Kurds have their own clout on the performance of the Kurdish government. The sectarian or national dimension of the political situation in Iraq does not say, it is over. It still exists A citizen in Basra, a citizen of Baghdad, a citizen of Mosul and a citizen of Sulaymaniyah looking forward to a free and dignified life, looking forward to a rational rule that harnesses the country's resources to serve the citizens and deal with the corruption that has spread with great regret because of the circumstances that have passed us. To win this basic common is the good governance of the citizen away from the issue of affiliations and labels known to us, which dominated not only a little part of the political process. [/ltr]
[ltr]
Q: Mr. President, allow me to speak frankly in a simple intervention. In all his mind, there is nothing new about the Iraqi citizen. The question that the Iraqi citizen asks is, do you have the political will on this reform and change? Are you convinced that you are moving as political forces at the same level as the movement of the Iraqi people in their legitimate demands? [/ltr]
[ltr]
I think that the Iraqi citizen is suffering real suffering and this is not afraid of anyone, go to Mosul and see the situation of Mosul and go to Basra and see the case of Basra and see the case of Nasiriyah even in Baghdad, but also in my estimation that the home sees that there may be development is not at the level What is required is that it may be achieved not at the appropriate speed required to achieve the minimum demands, but there is a positive trend or direction that we should benefit from and focus on it I am not a proponent of underestimating the imbalances or shortcomings that exist and there is no doubt that it is accumulated (Yakaka Karim) Do not forget that this country is exposed to its 40 year anniversary of destruction 40 A year of siege 40 years of terrorism 40 years of mass murder Arbitrariness The corruption that has penetrated into the depth of the government situation and became the deep state that controls many things, require a prime minister or a republican president to work to eradicate all these problems overnight The life of a single government is a promise that is not achievable but what is important, I also tell you important societal developments and to underestimate them, my wife and I went to the Baghdad Book Fair to mean that it was an important indicator of the 650 publishing houses in Baghdad which for long periods were the subject of violence, chaos and terrorism. The custody of the narrator is more m This is an important and important indicator of any political speech that indicates that this country is recovering and that you are not hesitant to say that perhaps many political forces and political leaders are not in the level of aspiration and the ability of the street to do so, but there is a trend and this trend has not been achieved. In vain, but because of the victory over terrorism because of the great work done by the Iraqis in the elimination of the alleged caliphate of Daish, to remember where we were four years ago, but also means a huge number of problems, God was in the hands of the Iraqis God was in the hands of those in charge This country so that we can achieve as I have the minimum of Hey free precious that it deserves citizen in this country. [/ltr]
[ltr]
Q: Mr. President Since the first moments in which you received the post of President of the Republic, the Iraqi media was busy and follow you an effective and distinguished effort in the many meetings with the heads of state in the East or the West or in the Arab region Do you believe under this effort or this movement or Iraq's need for this The type of effort It is time to modify the constitutional powers granted to the President of the Republic in accordance with the nature of this effort and these external relations that we need Do you have an answer?[/ltr]
[ltr] It is not because you are a president who needs these powers, but Iraq's basic need is real. Today we are without courtesy. We have an active president who has a youthful spirit that has an Iraqi national identity and counts on you a lot. [/ltr]
[ltr]
Thank you, this is a kindness from you, but I want to stress away from the issue of powers that I will not be able to do. I will not be useful and will not be useful except in harmony and cooperation with the Prime Minister and the Council of Ministers. Coordination, cooperation and solidarity. We are fortunate to have the Prime Minister and his understanding of the need to restore Iraq to its regional and international role. I return to the most important aspect of your question. We have made these visits based on an agreed political program here in Baghdad. Iraq is part of this region for decades. This country is a battlefield of conflict and rivalry and conflict for international and regional parties. The Iraqis are the victims of violence and the victims of this conflict. Etc.) This country is unjust from many parties and destroyed this country and destroyed generations because of this situation to stabilize the situation without finding a balanced state of Iraq in its relations, I want the Iraqis are confident that our speech in the Gulf in Tehran in the Kingdom in Egypt in France in Italy with the Americans is the same The discourse and the same logic only e We want to be part of the Axis policy. We want to congratulate our country on the conflicts and absurd conflicts that have engulfed this region. We want Iraq to be a platform for the reconciliation of interests between the countries and peoples of this region. We want a new regional system with Iraq as its center. , The problem in front of us is the eradication of terrorism and eradication, but the problem is not less important than that, but perhaps in terms of its repercussions are more important and more dangerous, the lives of Iraq today 38 million people and our souls are more than two million every year, 70% of Iraqis under the age of thirty years, Real unemployment p After years, it will become a serious social and political security problem that threatens not only Iraq but also threatens the region as a whole. The region needs a regional solution based on the creation of this economic interdependence and the common economic interests aimed at lifting The level of living for the people of this region and the creation of employment opportunities for our youth and this is achieved by regional cooperation and my assessment that Iraq is now required to play a role in the region's reunification. I am at the Sharm el-Sheikh Arab-European summit conference on the basis of Europe and the Arab world, And where is the end of the issue in this interdependent world of some discussion We said that there is a vital Bahrain in this region Gulf and also the Mediterranean Sea countries on these two Bahrain should have mechanisms and contexts for the interdependence of interests and also understanding and dealing with some basis of respect for sovereignty Non-interference in the internal affairs of some But the foundation and the basis remains to link our interests with infrastructure aimed at expanding our economies aimed at expanding the market and providing jobs for our unemployed youth.

Q: Mr. President, there is a lot of talk recently about the US presence in Iraq in light of the efforts of some blocs to get a resolution from the House of Representatives to remove these forces .. How do you see these efforts and if you got and issued this decision in your opinion what are the repercussions of this decision on the country?[/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. President: First, I do not want to talk about hypothetical cases. There is a debate, and as you mentioned some of the projects presented to parliament, let us emphasize the main points. Iraq issues the fight against terrorism. The Iraqis paid a heavy price to end the military call, but I want to emphasize that the final victory. Has yet to be achieved. Yes, there is a long way to consolidate this economic victory politically and intellectually. The security effort must be pursued, a serious victory. And Real but need to be entrenched and dedicated. American elements, but from the international coalition that came to Iraq at the invitation of the Iraqi government and based on understandings tasked to train Iraqi forces and enable the Iraqi forces in the war against terrorism, this is the mechanism agreed upon and this is the agreed goal, any action is different from this goal and this work is not Absolutely acceptable from the Iraqi side government and political leaders .. The third important point that we must stand then we are in the process of assessing the security situation permanently there is no request from Iraq and there is no request from the international forces and international elements such as America and America to establish military bases here in Iraq a The creation of combat ground forces in Iraq, even at the height of the battle against Da'ash, there were no combat forces, but rather training forces, pointing out important points in this context. The general commander of the armed forces and the military and security leadership assess the situation permanently. I hope that it will not be part of the current political debates that may have problems in the future. Our interest first is the interest of Iraqi security and Iraqi sovereignty. The standards we are dealing with will be training again and enabling Iraqi forces in their war against terrorism, not military bases and ground combat forces. As envisaged by the Council agreed upon by the political leaders and the government. [/ltr]
[ltr]
Q: It is said after 2003 that the office of the president is greater than his powers. We hope to prove the opposite during this election session. I want to ask you about an important topic in March. President Hassan Rowhani will visit Baghdad. This is the second visit of an Iranian president after 2003 in five years. President Rohani, the preliminary information indicates that Iraq is submitted to the re-operation of the Algiers agreement, which was signed in 1975 and will be modified some of its items and then be signed, there are talks that the Iranians sent a delegation to Iraq. Second, the President talked about a regional system Is the Saudi-Iranian dialogue It is becoming a need or a good interest Aq should require this dialogue and whether Iraq is able to play this role?[/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. President/ [/ltr]
[ltr]
Of course, President Rohani's visit to Baghdad will be an important visit. I visited Tehran and we had in-depth dialogues with the Iranian leadership and many of these files were discussed. Our relations with Iran are important. I said in all the countries we visited that Iraq's interest lies in having good relations Very much with Iran and I was deliberately repeating this phrase in our interest as Iraqis to perpetuate such a relationship and make it mainly from our regional system, we paid a heavy price for any tensions in the past The relationship must be based on respect for sovereignty must be based on common interests We have 1400 km of Border with Iran Iran has embraced the Iraqi opposition and embraced the Iraqi refugees in the recent war against Iran. It has played an important role in supporting the Iraqi forces from resisting and fighting a defiant. I speak about this in some detail. We also mentioned the importance of this relationship, and in the meeting also with President Rouhani, it also became a talk about the 1975 agreement. We also talked about the need to have understandings on various contexts that link the Iraqi-Iranian relationship. There is no doubt that each country inherits its predecessors, This legacy we have inherited and mutual commitments between the two parties. I know now there are working meetings between the Iraqi side and the Iranian side on this issue. The negotiations have not ended. The procedures have not ended. We await the visit. God willing, we will reach agreements and understandings that are at the heart of advancing the Iraqi-Iranian relations. ? And how to? "Our relations with Iran were not based on our relations with the Arab depth and were not at the expense of our relations with the Gulf and will not be at the expense of our relations with other countries. A work that is beneficial to all parties is also beneficial to our people. I also remember that in the meeting with a great Arab leader who spoke about the Iraqi-Iranian relationship, I followed him and told him that our relations with Iran are important to us, and so on. This is our history and this is our geography. He said to me, Mr. President, we want to be your relationship. Maybe you help us p Z is something of detente in the region, the question is whether these relations in terms of our interests as a country, as a nation? Or is it from another perspective? I say to the Iraqi National Party that Iraq can be a bridge for better relations between the countries of the region and this is in our interest and in the interest of the region as well. [/ltr]

Q / State President The situation in Kirkuk now stands on the back of the impasse Whenever an incident occurs we go back We recall the events that occurred in Kirkuk Earlier there is talk that the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan calls for the post of governor and disputes over the province, let me ask you as President of the Republic and not as a prominent Kurdish leader, The late President Jalal Talabani in resolving the problems related to the disputed areas and also there is a problem on Article 140 of the Constitution, you are today where stand from this dispute and how will contribute to the solution of the problems in Kirkuk? [/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. President/ [/ltr]
[ltr]
Kirkuk is a sensitive subject and needs radical and urgent treatment. This situation can not continue, so there are many variables that do not want to storm the situation in Kirkuk and the disputed and disputed areas. Article 140 A constitutional entitlement must be implemented. The context of its implementation requires legal and administrative procedures. But Kirkuk is a city in which the Kurdish component of the Arab Turkmen is composed of Christians and other components. Also, this city must after these years lean from the conflict. About this city One of the problems that hit this city must be the need to respect the views of the people of Kirkuk, I called the parties in Kirkuk a while ago in fact at the beginning of the post of President of the Republic, I told them that we want to win a solution from within Kirkuk consensual Kurdish components Arab Turkmen, of course with respect for the components The other is the solution based on the understanding of the administration in Kirkuk on the security system in Kirkuk, and also another important file has been neglected, but the investment and economic file, Kirkuk this rich city, go to Kirkuk city as if there is no oil, oil in this city only Smoke for the people of Kirkuk and not m I want to agree on the contexts of the solution may be a temporary solution we finish this situation, my appreciation and Majasti, although the original people of Kirkuk really tired and asked for bids in their name want a solution to their city to their region to win respect for their will requires the cooperation of Baghdad and the region and make sure There will be no values and there will be no imposition of wills, the people of Kirkuk are victorious to resolve their situation by mutual consent as we embrace this solution and help in that, and if this issue was resolved and exceeded this node, my assessment of the national consequences on the overall situation in Iraq will be very large, Cracow problem Kirkuk status and the conflict over Kirkuk have been a problem of decade since the establishment of the Iraqi state, perhaps at least since the 1960s, the time has come to reach a solution in this context. [/ltr]
[ltr]
Q / I mean, is it possible to see elections in Kirkuk in the next elections of provincial councils? [/ltr]
[ltr]
This is a constitutional and legal entitlement. The people of Kirkuk can not deprive them of their right to vote for those who want to run their city. But before the elections, I hope that we will finish building the basic building blocks of understanding among the Kirkukis. In Kirkuk and this solution will be supported and supported by Baghdad and an understanding in the region because without this will continue the suffering and suffering of the Kirkukis and remains a problem of contract in the relations between the region and Baghdad, but also in the end is also a security problem Do not forget that this conflict exists in Kirkuk Abhorrent and extremist to influence many areas and work to sabotage Iraqi security. [/ltr]
[ltr]
Q / The Governor?[/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. President: There is a debate on this issue Kurds are demanding the governor and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan as the force that got a greater number of votes consider it their share or their entitlement Brothers in the Democratic Party see otherwise and as the other components have different views so I say in the end not I can deal with this problem from the logic of the President of the Republic. It is my constitutional duty to be a sponsor of all. I do not enter into the core of these terms. But in the end, the status of Kirkuk needs a solution that can not be sustained. This solution must be based on Respect the will Kirkuk and enough resources Kirkuk and enough in the name of Kirkuk these arguments that do not benefit the Kirkukis and do not benefit Kurdistan and the Iraqi national project as well.[/ltr]
[ltr]
Q / Thank you Mr. President for this opportunity .. You mentioned the consultative meeting held two days ago from now and I spoke to you about the importance of the importance of the need for such a meeting and a period of time did not hold such a meeting my question in two Have been agreed in this consultative meeting on tearing political crises and Have you had an atmosphere of confidence to be committed to the outcome of this consultative meeting?[/ltr]
[ltr] Second, if this meeting is so important, why did not influential political leaders attend the political process?[/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. President:First, this meeting is a consultation meeting that did not come out with the decisions of the concept. It is clear that it is a consultative meeting, and it did not intersect with any of the existing constitutional institutions. There is an agreed constitution that is the basis of the state administration. There is a parliament, a legislative institution, there is a cabinet, there is the presidency, and so on. Because for a long time did not meet the parties to the multiplicity and their differences on one table, and fair there was an atmosphere of care and insistence on the need to solve the problems of the country was a recent in depth and directly on the problems existing if they were in Mosul, if it was in Basra, The issue of The Prime Minister also made an extensive presentation on the latest developments in the security and political situation, as well as issues relating to communication with the countries concerned in the fight against terrorism, and so on. It was a detailed and serious discussion. Some leaders did not attend or delegate their deputies to that meeting. You'll be in another position, me tooI want to invest this opportunity because some of the parties who were not invited to this meeting took us not to call. I want to say that this was not deliberate, God forbid, to underestimate them, but there were a number that should be called and we did not want the meeting to expand too much.The meeting should not last more than two hours only, but it will take more than four or five hours. God willing, in the coming meetings, these issues will be resolved. I also want to say that this consultative meeting was at a political level, but starting with your question, is social mobility important? No? Social mobility is also important. At the Peace Palace, I want to host consultative meetings for socio-cultural, legal and economic initiatives in which we discuss some of the issues that may not be discussed in this context in parliament or other constitutional institutions, so that there is a forum or forum for these competencies to discuss concerns. I hope in this meeting and the meeting that follows to end the recommendations and create an atmosphere that helps us to correct the course of the political process and address the complete imbalance at the heart of the political process, we are talking about the vocabulary now electricity is very important, water is very important, the reality of education is very important Very important, the reality of health medicine to add to itCorruption and the deep state that has become the greatest threat to the country, which condemns the chaos that condemns violence, which condemns the lack of services, the fact of these important and serious benefits, but also we have the benefits of the electoral system in the country support the rule of law and the fact that the law is the final situation of people and their problems in the end, We have many benefits. I hope that the presidency and the Peace Palace will be able to link these discussions in the right way and to employ the existing capabilities and competencies in order to achieve this required, namely correcting the political process.[/ltr]
[ltr]
Q: In short, Mr. President, what is the truth about the leaks and the news that came in the attempt to bring back some of the wanted people to Iraq to be mediated by the Presidency? [/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. President: The report, which was published a long time ago and in which the mixing of papers there are one or two of the wanted and then submitted to the judiciary by legal requests are decided according to legal policies and no authority over the law, but this method will not be, there are procedures in the past to be accurate Let's talk All the measures that took place in some areas were legal in the level required by the Iraqi judiciary? No, I come to my office many of these demands in this or that incident, and fair Iraqi judiciary is taking positive and reviews according to legal contexts, my duty as a protector of the Constitution that won the oppressed and the law, and those who committed crimes must be punished according to the law and there is no selective in Dealing with this topic.[/ltr]
[ltr]
Q / There is an important note in the last question .. Your presence did not invite any woman to the consultative meeting? [/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. President: This is not true. I did. This is a good question, but you did not bring any woman with you. I remember, I told the media office that the feminist element should also be present in this meeting. First, with deep regret, my mother, may God have mercy on her, always emphasized me when I said that women are half the society and the mother is the other half. Without any active role for women. Therefore, when I saw the names of the invitees and not any woman representing any of the political forces, we saw Dr. Zekri Alloush's invitation as the head of the Women's Empowerment Office. I wish that there were other women and women.
- The ratio has become one to, .....?[/ltr]
[ltr]
I agree with you I agree with you and hope to become a hot topic and political reality in the country, in parliament if you look at Parliament The performance of women's component in parliament is one of the best performances, I do not want to mention names, the best of men in some of them are better than some men not all Men.
- In the Kurdistan region we have a speaker of parliament. [/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. President: Yes, exactly, the truth of this is a good observation, so we insisted that there be at least one element of forgetfulness until we turn away the eye of envy as it is said. [/ltr]
[ltr]
Q: Mr. President, now as a protector of the Constitution, and also among the effort that you are playing, you are now an oppressed egg among the political forces. The American presence in Iraq is different among the political forces. Are you a head of state? Do you feel that the American presence is now necessary? Other presidents, leaders and parliament set a timetable for the withdrawal of US troops because the need is no longer necessary for such a presence now?[/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. President: I am far from the media debates, in the context that I asked to answer the question the first time training and enabling Iraqi forces to fight terrorism, nothing else in this context perhaps there is something of national consensus in general did not say that there were no different voices and also there In this context, I imagine that national consensus exists but in the end depends on the Iraqi vision of security on the position of the Iraqi government and the Commander-in-Chief of our continued need for these advisers and trainers. This is the basis for the resolution, nothing else. [/ltr]
[ltr]
Q: Mr. President, the troops there are combat units or advisers. People in the street see the forces and the fighter units that you see and imagine with mobile phones. So far we do not know an official position from the government. Are there combat units? Is there still a need for them?[/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. President: There is a clear and clear official position that there are no combat forces.[/ltr]
[ltr]
Q / What we see in the street What? [/ltr]
[ltr]
The American forces did not participate in the military operations. The US forces did not have combat forces. They did not have combat forces. They supported training forces and part of the arming of the Iraqi army is American armament, for example F-16s and so on. There is a wide margin of national consensus on this subject. There is also a general understanding and agreement not to accept the presence of ground combat forces or to support the efforts of the Iraqi forces to combat terrorism. Promising military. Because this does not exist in the Iraqi demand base remains Iraqi sovereignty basis remains the Iraqi need for these forces and this is what is being dealt with.[/ltr]
[ltr]
Q / Iraq does not need a courageous political decision in some of the slogans that we launched in 2011 and joy and then lost dear blood, all this and did not complete our forces?[/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. President: Habibi, your words are very accurate. This topic is not subject to the bidding of this subject. It must be dealt with accurately on the basis of the Iraqi interest, Iraqi sovereignty and the Iraqi requirements. I repeat, aside from being dragged behind such slogans and slogans, to be frank and clear. The Iraqi government has played an important role in supporting Iraqi forces in fighting terrorism and achieving victory. Its mission is to train and empower our forces and develop our capabilities in the war against terrorism. No other mission. There should be ground forces. There will be no military bases. This is the basis. P political consensus on this subject, and this confirms what a rational decision kindly by the Iraqi and wisdom and not to be dragged behind the slogans of our sovereignty in our interest to our military requirements, but it is to enable the army to dedicate and consolidate the victory achieved against Daesh.[/ltr]
[ltr]
Q: Mr. President, also briefly .. We always hear about the powers of the post of President of the Republic compared to that may be the position of the President of the Government .. Ask for the President of the Republic for four years to come first .. Second, will we see the President of the Republic three deputies, as happened from the Sunnis and Shiites?[/ltr]
[ltr]
Article 66 of the Constitution states: The Federal Executive Authority shall consist of the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister and exercise its powers in accordance with the Constitution, Law and Article 67. The President of the Republic is the Head of State and the symbol of the unity of the country. The sovereignty of the country and is keen to ensure adherence to the Constitution and the preservation of Iraq's independence and sovereignty and unity and territorial integrity in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution .. These powers are important. Protecting the Constitution is important .. The corner of the executive power is important .. But I want to be accurate in my answer also .. Legal Interpretation WMV Radaat .. We saw in previous periods the relationship between the presidency and the prime minister were not perhaps the required level ..This country is burdened with many burdens that can not withstand the debates and disputes. We need a state speech. We need a state policy. We need a genuine solidarity among the constitutional institutions in order to enable the government to implement its promised program by Parliament and the citizen. I have a close relationship with Dr. Adel, Fadel and we have a long relationship .. We did not move it is in a lot of public issues in the country and I am in the field of my work, but in full coordination with him because this is required .. I can not speak with a governor in Nasiriyah example and tell him we will do this to you and this The government is fighting in its area of competence if there is no tennis S .. I can not go to a country and hold agreements and to otherwise because it would be built into the terms of reference of the government, but the understandings that occur all be in the context of coordination between the two parties .. It is important Jadda..hee second important ..A good personal relationship will not suffice. It must be transformed into an institutional and constitutional relationship based on this constitution because whoever comes after me and after Dr. Adel must be committed. I hope to establish such an institutional relationship.[/ltr]
[ltr]
Q / Vice-Presidents? [/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. President: So far the political blocs have different and different views and there are those calling for one deputy or two deputies not a maximum of three.
The most dangerous challenge facing the ruling elites is the deep state that has turned them and their sword over them and the Iraqi society, which boycotted by nearly 70% of the recent elections. Where is the president of the republic or the president of the republic? The government of dismantling this deep state and is there a time limit to get rid of the problem started by the Prime Minister and the President and even perhaps the Speaker of Parliament in public?[/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. Prime Minister: I am taking the initiative to form the Supreme Council for Combating Corruption. This is in itself an acknowledgment of the seriousness of the problem and acknowledging the importance of serious and urgent work in order to confront what is considered the greatest danger to the state project in Iraq. Because this money that steals from the treasury and what is stolen from the contracting ends in pockets of power centers influential in the elections and lead to obstruction of government work and completion of building the required state in this country, adding that corruption requires the perpetuation of violence ..The continuation of chaos and instability .. If not We will not hit corruption Sikh and devote the victory against the dashing .. In the new legislative term, which will begin on the tenth of March there will be legal initiatives submitted to the House on this subject and how to deal with the problem of corruption .. Again many other issues .. The issue is not slogans .. Bajaj To the factors and contexts of legal process and also feasible financial ..For example, see the experience of Nigeria was suffering from serious corruption linked to the oil sector also, but there have been significant changes in the management of Nigeria and there is a significant improvement in this area, at least according to international data .. Iraq will have this challenge and my hope and I know that the community supports at least the political centers It will not be easy but achievable within the international contexts and conventions that exist in the world today.This will not be easy but achievable within the international contexts and conventions that exist in the world today.This will not be easy but achievable within the international contexts and conventions that exist in the world today.[/ltr]
[ltr]
Q: Mr. President, but this deep state has been enabled by the ruling elites, or has it empowered itself and become a gol. [/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. President: By God, part of what I preferred is true, but my hope is that there are forces and there are leaders and there is the popular determination and the higher reference in Najaf and the religious leaders who want to drive this trend in the need to confront corruption this rampant bull is no longer acceptable and the state is no longer bearing the continuation This situation.

Q: In return to the powers of the President also .. It is the powers of the President to submit draft laws to the House of Representatives .. Which laws believe today is the most important .. Which law is working President or write a law now to the House of Representatives?[/ltr]
[ltr]
The fact is that we will have a draft law on the Spyker case and to count them martyrs and enable them to enjoy the rights of their people .. The reality of a serious disaster It is regrettable that we have not been dealing with the families of the martyrs of Spyker in a proper manner and required but now we are also busy drafting a bill to recover the money that went And there are draft laws related to reconstruction. There are constitutional bills that require their presence here. We are working on this. There is high level coordination with the Prime Minister's Office in this area so that the bills are coordinated. But the presidency and the presidency of the government Raya intends to activate this authority vigorously and submit bills to parliament.[/ltr]
[ltr]
Do not you as the president of the Republic of Iraq as a national I mean here what is happening in the Kurdistan region .. Is the Kurds the tendency of rejection and rebellion after they touched the softness and luxury of power .. I mean here is what is happening from internal conflict in the Kurdistan region .. Is the infection moved politically to the center ? [/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. President: The reality of the Kurdish situation is not different from the situation of the country in general and not different from the situation of the Kurds from other peoples .. There are competing political streams and rivalries .. There were consensus between the two parties, the Union and the Democratic, an agreement between the late Jalal Talabani and Mr. Massoud Barzani and the absence of Mam Jalal means a state of political mobility .. Now, in my opinion, the Kurdistan region needs to make new internal arrangements and we live in the stage of labor in my estimation on this subject, but the Kurds have always had teams and conflict, but perhaps not much known to others .. I went to public .. No It is harmful in that case if it lasts In the course of the political process, but in the end there is no alternative to the agreement of the main parties because without this agreement will be the situation in the region is dangerous to everyone on the region and the situation in Iraq in general. [/ltr]
[ltr]
Q: There is a difference in the days of the mountain's roughness.[/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. President: The luxury of power .. This is where the roughness of the mountain .. Differences less .. The luxury of power .. Note the situation in Iraq when we were in the opposition despite our differences unite this life Did not life .. The circumstances vary and come .. But ultimately the power of Kurdistan is for Baghdad and the power of Baghdad The Kurds have a basic interest in building on Baghdad and winning a national democratic Iraqi project because we share it together. Our people in other parts of Iraq are much more likely than us to have distinctions. Because I said .. The people of Basra .. The citizen in Basra .. The citizen in Samawah .. Moa A citizen in Mosul and Anbar and a citizen in Sulaymaniyah and Arbil all share the aspiration to a free and dignified life .. to a good school and a good educational system to raise their children to a health system to ensure their health .. To respect their dignity ..These events until I remember in the recent past during the war on a hustler was probably more than two million displaced people went to the Kurdistan region There was no case of social conflict has never been all when they were displaced to the south and to the center did not feel alienation really because the parents embraced them .. These participants and perhaps The differences in Kurdistan and in Baghdad reflect the manifestations of the Iraqi unity. But this is like what they say the reality of political life, but in the end I imagine that the wise will win a balanced agreement that we are going to form the government and what is required in the region, soon, God willing.But these are what they say the reality of political life, but in the end I imagine that the wise will win a balanced agreement we go to form a government and what is required in the region, soon, God willing.But these are what they say the reality of political life, but in the end I imagine that the wise will win a balanced agreement we go to form a government and what is required in the region, soon, God willing.[/ltr]
[ltr]
Q: Mr. President, we are very grateful to you, but there is a question that we agreed upon and did not ask. Why did the French refuse to accept the returnees?
The Iraqi security authorities have withdrawn them and they have surrendered within the framework of a security plan. Those who have committed crimes inside the Iraqi territories have committed crimes against the Iraqis and the right of Iraqi installations and are held accountable according to Iraqi law. [/ltr]
[ltr]
What did they object to the French? What did they demand?[/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. Prime Minister: They did not demand them, but there is now a debate and discussion. This was discussed at the consultative meeting. The Prime Minister made an extensive presentation on this subject. There are many foreign nationals who do not want to be released. Do we do them? We are concerned with this matter, how to deal with this file, a file with commitments and implications. There is an incomplete Iraqi proposal to the prime minister and he made an offer to the consultative meeting and we are in the process of discussing it, but this will be an important issue that we will answer soon.
Mr. President, on behalf of my colleagues in Al-Iraqiya, thank you very much for the time you gave us and thank you for the frank answers. Thank you very much.
Mr. President: Thank you very much, God willing, next time the female component will be present and compensate for the absence this time[/ltr]

[ltr]
Mr. President, welcome to the Palace of Peace. I would like to welcome you here at the Peace Palace. I want this dialogue to be a direct dialogue in which we talk about the country's concerns about political developments and our aspirations for the future. Aiming for the good of the homeland and citizenship. And we shall begin with you, that I may not go any further, nor take of your time. [/ltr]

Q: Talking about reforming the political process after 16 years of the new regime and the new situation, there is a long talk about reforming this political process. What are the mechanisms by which this reform will take place? Always get pressure from the street but of course be late and very simple?[/ltr]
[ltr]
This is an important question, and perhaps the biggest challenge to the Iraqi state project at this moment must be put in its proper context. Iraq has not known stability for at least four decades if not more than the Iran-Iraq war to invade Kuwait. The siege of 2003 and its repercussions and the events that took place, this people did not know stability and our country is free from terrorism and subjected to the attacks of a fierce onslaught of terrorist forces really when you put things in context and this is often when I talk with foreign leaders remind them of this reality experienced by Iraq And lived Iraqis .. The truth of the Arab S out of those wounds Mtkhana no doubt about that, but there are challenges insistence by the Iraqis to move forward and get to the free life that they deserve a decent stable citizen. From 2003 to today we are partners in the political process This political process succeeded in important things including the writing of the constitution, including elections, including the peaceful transfer of power, the issue of peaceful transfer of power in the heart of the Middle East is not easy or easy, President McCron asked me about the situation in Iraq and its features I said The former president of the republic lives free and walks around freely, as does the former prime minister. I wish the current president, when my job ends, to be on the same situation. This scene is unusual in our country, so that there are not many failures but serious failures. What is happening in Basra is low. For services, count The existence of legal protection in many issues in the regions, the non-return of the displaced, the recurrence of the cycle of violence and the spread of terrorism. These are all manifestations and failures that accompanied the political process and are at its core from 2003 until today. We have no choice but dialogue. Yes, there is the political class. However, in my assessment, the social phenomenon is also important. It means that there is an important social and civil movement at different levels. I see it as an important pillar of the reform process. The response between the political class and the social movement will lead to a series of reforms necessary to correct the political process. If we hosted the first national consultative meeting, it was an important fact. For the first time, but for a long time, such meetings did not take place. Many of the parties who were involved in many issues participated. We met at one table and despite the existence of an agenda talking about the vocabulary of government work, "Let's talk about the basic issue before us, which is to correct the political process and achieve the required reforms," he said. I wish, through such dialogues, to stand up to those reforms that are required. First, we have a constitution that we have entrusted to ourselves through a popular referendum, but this constitution is one of the least restrictive clauses. Perhaps changing the constitution will not be easy, but at least to agree on a national interpretation. The gathering of some of these items, which may be confused by some ambiguity and fog is very important because usually every 4 years in the elections we meet at the negotiating table to form a government this ministry for this party and this ministry for that party and agree on a government program but to go deep into this subject, The political I call In this period, I will be serious about following up on this issue. How will we diagnose the inherent imbalance in the political process and how can we come up with successful solutions? In the end there is a great community development in Iraq.[/ltr]
[ltr] The people of Basra are not satisfied. The Sunnis are dissatisfied with the performance of the government or the Sunni ruling class. The Kurds have their own clout on the performance of the Kurdish government. The sectarian or national dimension of the political situation in Iraq does not say, it is over. It still exists A citizen in Basra, a citizen of Baghdad, a citizen of Mosul and a citizen of Sulaymaniyah looking forward to a free and dignified life, looking forward to a rational rule that harnesses the country's resources to serve the citizens and deal with the corruption that has spread with great regret because of the circumstances that have passed us. To win this basic common is the good governance of the citizen away from the issue of affiliations and labels known to us, which dominated not only a little part of the political process. [/ltr]
[ltr]
Q: Mr. President, allow me to speak frankly in a simple intervention. In all his mind, there is nothing new about the Iraqi citizen. The question that the Iraqi citizen asks is, do you have the political will on this reform and change? Are you convinced that you are moving as political forces at the same level as the movement of the Iraqi people in their legitimate demands? [/ltr]
[ltr]
I think that the Iraqi citizen is suffering real suffering and this is not afraid of anyone, go to Mosul and see the situation of Mosul and go to Basra and see the case of Basra and see the case of Nasiriyah even in Baghdad, but also in my estimation that the home sees that there may be development is not at the level What is required is that it may be achieved not at the appropriate speed required to achieve the minimum demands, but there is a positive trend or direction that we should benefit from and focus on it I am not a proponent of underestimating the imbalances or shortcomings that exist and there is no doubt that it is accumulated (Yakaka Karim) Do not forget that this country is exposed to its 40 year anniversary of destruction 40 A year of siege 40 years of terrorism 40 years of mass murder Arbitrariness The corruption that has penetrated into the depth of the government situation and became the deep state that controls many things, require a prime minister or a republican president to work to eradicate all these problems overnight The life of a single government is a promise that is not achievable but what is important, I also tell you important societal developments and to underestimate them, my wife and I went to the Baghdad Book Fair to mean that it was an important indicator of the 650 publishing houses in Baghdad which for long periods were the subject of violence, chaos and terrorism. The custody of the narrator is more m This is an important and important indicator of any political speech that indicates that this country is recovering and that you are not hesitant to say that perhaps many political forces and political leaders are not in the level of aspiration and the ability of the street to do so, but there is a trend and this trend has not been achieved. In vain, but because of the victory over terrorism because of the great work done by the Iraqis in the elimination of the alleged caliphate of Daish, to remember where we were four years ago, but also means a huge number of problems, God was in the hands of the Iraqis God was in the hands of those in charge This country so that we can achieve as I have the minimum of Hey free precious that it deserves citizen in this country. [/ltr]
[ltr]
Q: Mr. President Since the first moments in which you received the post of President of the Republic, the Iraqi media was busy and follow you an effective and distinguished effort in the many meetings with the heads of state in the East or the West or in the Arab region Do you believe under this effort or this movement or Iraq's need for this The type of effort It is time to modify the constitutional powers granted to the President of the Republic in accordance with the nature of this effort and these external relations that we need Do you have an answer?[/ltr]
[ltr] It is not because you are a president who needs these powers, but Iraq's basic need is real. Today we are without courtesy. We have an active president who has a youthful spirit that has an Iraqi national identity and counts on you a lot. [/ltr]
[ltr]
Thank you, this is a kindness from you, but I want to stress away from the issue of powers that I will not be able to do. I will not be useful and will not be useful except in harmony and cooperation with the Prime Minister and the Council of Ministers. Coordination, cooperation and solidarity. We are fortunate to have the Prime Minister and his understanding of the need to restore Iraq to its regional and international role. I return to the most important aspect of your question. We have made these visits based on an agreed political program here in Baghdad. Iraq is part of this region for decades. This country is a battlefield of conflict and rivalry and conflict for international and regional parties. The Iraqis are the victims of violence and the victims of this conflict. Etc.) This country is unjust from many parties and destroyed this country and destroyed generations because of this situation to stabilize the situation without finding a balanced state of Iraq in its relations, I want the Iraqis are confident that our speech in the Gulf in Tehran in the Kingdom in Egypt in France in Italy with the Americans is the same The discourse and the same logic only e We want to be part of the Axis policy. We want to congratulate our country on the conflicts and absurd conflicts that have engulfed this region. We want Iraq to be a platform for the reconciliation of interests between the countries and peoples of this region. We want a new regional system with Iraq as its center. , The problem in front of us is the eradication of terrorism and eradication, but the problem is not less important than that, but perhaps in terms of its repercussions are more important and more dangerous, the lives of Iraq today 38 million people and our souls are more than two million every year, 70% of Iraqis under the age of thirty years, Real unemployment p After years, it will become a serious social and political security problem that threatens not only Iraq but also threatens the region as a whole. The region needs a regional solution based on the creation of this economic interdependence and the common economic interests aimed at lifting The level of living for the people of this region and the creation of employment opportunities for our youth and this is achieved by regional cooperation and my assessment that Iraq is now required to play a role in the region's reunification. I am at the Sharm el-Sheikh Arab-European summit conference on the basis of Europe and the Arab world, And where is the end of the issue in this interdependent world of some discussion We said that there is a vital Bahrain in this region Gulf and also the Mediterranean Sea countries on these two Bahrain should have mechanisms and contexts for the interdependence of interests and also understanding and dealing with some basis of respect for sovereignty Non-interference in the internal affairs of some But the foundation and the basis remains to link our interests with infrastructure aimed at expanding our economies aimed at expanding the market and providing jobs for our unemployed youth. [/ltr]
[ltr]
Q: Mr. President, there is a lot of talk recently about the US presence in Iraq in light of the efforts of some blocs to get a resolution from the House of Representatives to remove these forces .. How do you see these efforts and if you got and issued this decision in your opinion what are the repercussions of this decision on the country?[/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. President: First, I do not want to talk about hypothetical cases. There is a debate, and as you mentioned some of the projects presented to parliament, let us emphasize the main points. Iraq issues the fight against terrorism. The Iraqis paid a heavy price to end the military call, but I want to emphasize that the final victory. Has yet to be achieved. Yes, there is a long way to consolidate this economic victory politically and intellectually. The security effort must be pursued, a serious victory. And Real but need to be entrenched and dedicated. American elements, but from the international coalition that came to Iraq at the invitation of the Iraqi government and based on understandings tasked to train Iraqi forces and enable the Iraqi forces in the war against terrorism, this is the mechanism agreed upon and this is the agreed goal, any action is different from this goal and this work is not Absolutely acceptable from the Iraqi side government and political leaders .. The third important point that we must stand then we are in the process of assessing the security situation permanently there is no request from Iraq and there is no request from the international forces and international elements such as America and America to establish military bases here in Iraq a The creation of combat ground forces in Iraq, even at the height of the battle against Da'ash, there were no combat forces, but rather training forces, pointing out important points in this context. The general commander of the armed forces and the military and security leadership assess the situation permanently. I hope that it will not be part of the current political debates that may have problems in the future. Our interest first is the interest of Iraqi security and Iraqi sovereignty. The standards we are dealing with will be training again and enabling Iraqi forces in their war against terrorism, not military bases and ground combat forces. As envisaged by the Council agreed upon by the political leaders and the government. [/ltr]
[ltr]
Q: It is said after 2003 that the office of the president is greater than his powers. We hope to prove the opposite during this election session. I want to ask you about an important topic in March. President Hassan Rowhani will visit Baghdad. This is the second visit of an Iranian president after 2003 in five years. President Rohani, the preliminary information indicates that Iraq is submitted to the re-operation of the Algiers agreement, which was signed in 1975 and will be modified some of its items and then be signed, there are talks that the Iranians sent a delegation to Iraq. Second, the President talked about a regional system Is the Saudi-Iranian dialogue It is becoming a need or a good interest Aq should require this dialogue and whether Iraq is able to play this role?[/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. President/ [/ltr]
[ltr]
Of course, President Rohani's visit to Baghdad will be an important visit. I visited Tehran and we had in-depth dialogues with the Iranian leadership and many of these files were discussed. Our relations with Iran are important. I said in all the countries we visited that Iraq's interest lies in having good relations Very much with Iran and I was deliberately repeating this phrase in our interest as Iraqis to perpetuate such a relationship and make it mainly from our regional system, we paid a heavy price for any tensions in the past The relationship must be based on respect for sovereignty must be based on common interests We have 1400 km of Border with Iran Iran has embraced the Iraqi opposition and embraced the Iraqi refugees in the recent war against Iran. It has played an important role in supporting the Iraqi forces from resisting and fighting a defiant. I speak about this in some detail. We also mentioned the importance of this relationship, and in the meeting also with President Rouhani, it also became a talk about the 1975 agreement. We also talked about the need to have understandings on various contexts that link the Iraqi-Iranian relationship. There is no doubt that each country inherits its predecessors, This legacy we have inherited and mutual commitments between the two parties. I know now there are working meetings between the Iraqi side and the Iranian side on this issue. The negotiations have not ended. The procedures have not ended. We await the visit. God willing, we will reach agreements and understandings that are at the heart of advancing the Iraqi-Iranian relations. ? And how to? "Our relations with Iran were not based on our relations with the Arab depth and were not at the expense of our relations with the Gulf and will not be at the expense of our relations with other countries. A work that is beneficial to all parties is also beneficial to our people. I also remember that in the meeting with a great Arab leader who spoke about the Iraqi-Iranian relationship, I followed him and told him that our relations with Iran are important to us, and so on. This is our history and this is our geography. He said to me, Mr. President, we want to be your relationship. Maybe you help us p Z is something of detente in the region, the question is whether these relations in terms of our interests as a country, as a nation? Or is it from another perspective? I say to the Iraqi National Party that Iraq can be a bridge for better relations between the countries of the region and this is in our interest and in the interest of the region as well. [/ltr]

Q / State President The situation in Kirkuk now stands on the back of the impasse Whenever an incident occurs we go back We recall the events that occurred in Kirkuk Earlier there is talk that the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan calls for the post of governor and disputes over the province, let me ask you as President of the Republic and not as a prominent Kurdish leader, The late President Jalal Talabani in resolving the problems related to the disputed areas and also there is a problem on Article 140 of the Constitution, you are today where stand from this dispute and how will contribute to the solution of the problems in Kirkuk? [/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. President/ [/ltr]
[ltr]
Kirkuk is a sensitive subject and needs radical and urgent treatment. This situation can not continue, so there are many variables that do not want to storm the situation in Kirkuk and the disputed and disputed areas. Article 140 A constitutional entitlement must be implemented. The context of its implementation requires legal and administrative procedures. But Kirkuk is a city in which the Kurdish component of the Arab Turkmen is composed of Christians and other components. Also, this city must after these years lean from the conflict. About this city One of the problems that hit this city must be the need to respect the views of the people of Kirkuk, I called the parties in Kirkuk a while ago in fact at the beginning of the post of President of the Republic, I told them that we want to win a solution from within Kirkuk consensual Kurdish components Arab Turkmen, of course with respect for the components The other is the solution based on the understanding of the administration in Kirkuk on the security system in Kirkuk, and also another important file has been neglected, but the investment and economic file, Kirkuk this rich city, go to Kirkuk city as if there is no oil, oil in this city only Smoke for the people of Kirkuk and not m I want to agree on the contexts of the solution may be a temporary solution we finish this situation, my appreciation and Majasti, although the original people of Kirkuk really tired and asked for bids in their name want a solution to their city to their region to win respect for their will requires the cooperation of Baghdad and the region and make sure There will be no values and there will be no imposition of wills, the people of Kirkuk are victorious to resolve their situation by mutual consent as we embrace this solution and help in that, and if this issue was resolved and exceeded this node, my assessment of the national consequences on the overall situation in Iraq will be very large, Cracow problem Kirkuk status and the conflict over Kirkuk have been a problem of decade since the establishment of the Iraqi state, perhaps at least since the 1960s, the time has come to reach a solution in this context. [/ltr]
[ltr]
Q / I mean, is it possible to see elections in Kirkuk in the next elections of provincial councils? [/ltr]
[ltr]
This is a constitutional and legal entitlement. The people of Kirkuk can not deprive them of their right to vote for those who want to run their city. But before the elections, I hope that we will finish building the basic building blocks of understanding among the Kirkukis. In Kirkuk and this solution will be supported and supported by Baghdad and an understanding in the region because without this will continue the suffering and suffering of the Kirkukis and remains a problem of contract in the relations between the region and Baghdad, but also in the end is also a security problem Do not forget that this conflict exists in Kirkuk Abhorrent and extremist to influence many areas and work to sabotage Iraqi security. [/ltr]
[ltr]
Q / The Governor?[/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. President: There is a debate on this issue Kurds are demanding the governor and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan as the force that got a greater number of votes consider it their share or their entitlement Brothers in the Democratic Party see otherwise and as the other components have different views so I say in the end not I can deal with this problem from the logic of the President of the Republic. It is my constitutional duty to be a sponsor of all. I do not enter into the core of these terms. But in the end, the status of Kirkuk needs a solution that can not be sustained. This solution must be based on Respect the will Kirkuk and enough resources Kirkuk and enough in the name of Kirkuk these arguments that do not benefit the Kirkukis and do not benefit Kurdistan and the Iraqi national project as well.[/ltr]
[ltr]
Q / Thank you Mr. President for this opportunity .. You mentioned the consultative meeting held two days ago from now and I spoke to you about the importance of the importance of the need for such a meeting and a period of time did not hold such a meeting my question in two Have been agreed in this consultative meeting on tearing political crises and Have you had an atmosphere of confidence to be committed to the outcome of this consultative meeting?[/ltr]
[ltr] Second, if this meeting is so important, why did not influential political leaders attend the political process?[/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. President:First, this meeting is a consultation meeting that did not come out with the decisions of the concept. It is clear that it is a consultative meeting, and it did not intersect with any of the existing constitutional institutions. There is an agreed constitution that is the basis of the state administration. There is a parliament, a legislative institution, there is a cabinet, there is the presidency, and so on. Because for a long time did not meet the parties to the multiplicity and their differences on one table, and fair there was an atmosphere of care and insistence on the need to solve the problems of the country was a recent in depth and directly on the problems existing if they were in Mosul, if it was in Basra, The issue of The Prime Minister also made an extensive presentation on the latest developments in the security and political situation, as well as issues relating to communication with the countries concerned in the fight against terrorism, and so on. It was a detailed and serious discussion. Some leaders did not attend or delegate their deputies to that meeting. You'll be in another position, me tooI want to invest this opportunity because some of the parties who were not invited to this meeting took us not to call. I want to say that this was not deliberate, God forbid, to underestimate them, but there were a number that should be called and we did not want the meeting to expand too much.The meeting should not last more than two hours only, but it will take more than four or five hours. God willing, in the coming meetings, these issues will be resolved. I also want to say that this consultative meeting was at a political level, but starting with your question, is social mobility important? No? Social mobility is also important. At the Peace Palace, I want to host consultative meetings for socio-cultural, legal and economic initiatives in which we discuss some of the issues that may not be discussed in this context in parliament or other constitutional institutions, so that there is a forum or forum for these competencies to discuss concerns. I hope in this meeting and the meeting that follows to end the recommendations and create an atmosphere that helps us to correct the course of the political process and address the complete imbalance at the heart of the political process, we are talking about the vocabulary now electricity is very important, water is very important, the reality of education is very important Very important, the reality of health medicine to add to itCorruption and the deep state that has become the greatest threat to the country, which condemns the chaos that condemns violence, which condemns the lack of services, the fact of these important and serious benefits, but also we have the benefits of the electoral system in the country support the rule of law and the fact that the law is the final situation of people and their problems in the end, We have many benefits. I hope that the presidency and the Peace Palace will be able to link these discussions in the right way and to employ the existing capabilities and competencies in order to achieve this required, namely correcting the political process.[/ltr]
[ltr]
Q: In short, Mr. President, what is the truth about the leaks and the news that came in the attempt to bring back some of the wanted people to Iraq to be mediated by the Presidency? [/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. President: The report, which was published a long time ago and in which the mixing of papers there are one or two of the wanted and then submitted to the judiciary by legal requests are decided according to legal policies and no authority over the law, but this method will not be, there are procedures in the past to be accurate Let's talk All the measures that took place in some areas were legal in the level required by the Iraqi judiciary? No, I come to my office many of these demands in this or that incident, and fair Iraqi judiciary is taking positive and reviews according to legal contexts, my duty as a protector of the Constitution that won the oppressed and the law, and those who committed crimes must be punished according to the law and there is no selective in Dealing with this topic.[/ltr]
[ltr]
Q / There is an important note in the last question .. Your presence did not invite any woman to the consultative meeting? [/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. President: This is not true. I did. This is a good question, but you did not bring any woman with you. I remember, I told the media office that the feminist element should also be present in this meeting. First, with deep regret, my mother, may God have mercy on her, always emphasized me when I said that women are half the society and the mother is the other half. Without any active role for women. Therefore, when I saw the names of the invitees and not any woman representing any of the political forces, we saw Dr. Zekri Alloush's invitation as the head of the Women's Empowerment Office. I wish that there were other women and women.
- The ratio has become one to, .....?[/ltr]
[ltr]
I agree with you I agree with you and hope to become a hot topic and political reality in the country, in parliament if you look at Parliament The performance of women's component in parliament is one of the best performances, I do not want to mention names, the best of men in some of them are better than some men not all Men.
- In the Kurdistan region we have a speaker of parliament. [/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. President: Yes, exactly, the truth of this is a good observation, so we insisted that there be at least one element of forgetfulness until we turn away the eye of envy as it is said. [/ltr]
[ltr]
Q: Mr. President, now as a protector of the Constitution, and also among the effort that you are playing, you are now an oppressed egg among the political forces. The American presence in Iraq is different among the political forces. Are you a head of state? Do you feel that the American presence is now necessary? Other presidents, leaders and parliament set a timetable for the withdrawal of US troops because the need is no longer necessary for such a presence now?[/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. President: I am far from the media debates, in the context that I asked to answer the question the first time training and enabling Iraqi forces to fight terrorism, nothing else in this context perhaps there is something of national consensus in general did not say that there were no different voices and also there In this context, I imagine that national consensus exists but in the end depends on the Iraqi vision of security on the position of the Iraqi government and the Commander-in-Chief of our continued need for these advisers and trainers. This is the basis for the resolution, nothing else. [/ltr]
[ltr]
Q: Mr. President, the troops there are combat units or advisers. People in the street see the forces and the fighter units that you see and imagine with mobile phones. So far we do not know an official position from the government. Are there combat units? Is there still a need for them?[/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. President: There is a clear and clear official position that there are no combat forces.[/ltr]
[ltr]
Q / What we see in the street What? [/ltr]
[ltr]
The American forces did not participate in the military operations. The US forces did not have combat forces. They did not have combat forces. They supported training forces and part of the arming of the Iraqi army is American armament, for example F-16s and so on. There is a wide margin of national consensus on this subject. There is also a general understanding and agreement not to accept the presence of ground combat forces or to support the efforts of the Iraqi forces to combat terrorism. Promising military. Because this does not exist in the Iraqi demand base remains Iraqi sovereignty basis remains the Iraqi need for these forces and this is what is being dealt with.[/ltr]
[ltr]
Q / Iraq does not need a courageous political decision in some of the slogans that we launched in 2011 and joy and then lost dear blood, all this and did not complete our forces?[/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. President: Habibi, your words are very accurate. This topic is not subject to the bidding of this subject. It must be dealt with accurately on the basis of the Iraqi interest, Iraqi sovereignty and the Iraqi requirements. I repeat, aside from being dragged behind such slogans and slogans, to be frank and clear. The Iraqi government has played an important role in supporting Iraqi forces in fighting terrorism and achieving victory. Its mission is to train and empower our forces and develop our capabilities in the war against terrorism. No other mission. There should be ground forces. There will be no military bases. This is the basis. P political consensus on this subject, and this confirms what a rational decision kindly by the Iraqi and wisdom and not to be dragged behind the slogans of our sovereignty in our interest to our military requirements, but it is to enable the army to dedicate and consolidate the victory achieved against Daesh.[/ltr]
[ltr]
Q: Mr. President, also briefly .. We always hear about the powers of the post of President of the Republic compared to that may be the position of the President of the Government .. Ask for the President of the Republic for four years to come first .. Second, will we see the President of the Republic three deputies, as happened from the Sunnis and Shiites?[/ltr]
[ltr]
Article 66 of the Constitution states: The Federal Executive Authority shall consist of the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister and exercise its powers in accordance with the Constitution, Law and Article 67. The President of the Republic is the Head of State and the symbol of the unity of the country. The sovereignty of the country and is keen to ensure adherence to the Constitution and the preservation of Iraq's independence and sovereignty and unity and territorial integrity in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution .. These powers are important. Protecting the Constitution is important .. The corner of the executive power is important .. But I want to be accurate in my answer also .. Legal Interpretation WMV Radaat .. We saw in previous periods the relationship between the presidency and the prime minister were not perhaps the required level ..This country is burdened with many burdens that can not withstand the debates and disputes. We need a state speech. We need a state policy. We need a genuine solidarity among the constitutional institutions in order to enable the government to implement its promised program by Parliament and the citizen. I have a close relationship with Dr. Adel, Fadel and we have a long relationship .. We did not move it is in a lot of public issues in the country and I am in the field of my work, but in full coordination with him because this is required .. I can not speak with a governor in Nasiriyah example and tell him we will do this to you and this The government is fighting in its area of competence if there is no tennis S .. I can not go to a country and hold agreements and to otherwise because it would be built into the terms of reference of the government, but the understandings that occur all be in the context of coordination between the two parties .. It is important Jadda..hee second important ..A good personal relationship will not suffice. It must be transformed into an institutional and constitutional relationship based on this constitution because whoever comes after me and after Dr. Adel must be committed. I hope to establish such an institutional relationship.[/ltr]
[ltr]
Q / Vice-Presidents? [/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. President: So far the political blocs have different and different views and there are those calling for one deputy or two deputies not a maximum of three.
The most dangerous challenge facing the ruling elites is the deep state that has turned them and their sword over them and the Iraqi society, which boycotted by nearly 70% of the recent elections. Where is the president of the republic or the president of the republic? The government of dismantling this deep state and is there a time limit to get rid of the problem started by the Prime Minister and the President and even perhaps the Speaker of Parliament in public?[/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. Prime Minister: I am taking the initiative to form the Supreme Council for Combating Corruption. This is in itself an acknowledgment of the seriousness of the problem and acknowledging the importance of serious and urgent work in order to confront what is considered the greatest danger to the state project in Iraq. Because this money that steals from the treasury and what is stolen from the contracting ends in pockets of power centers influential in the elections and lead to obstruction of government work and completion of building the required state in this country, adding that corruption requires the perpetuation of violence ..The continuation of chaos and instability .. If not We will not hit corruption Sikh and devote the victory against the dashing .. In the new legislative term, which will begin on the tenth of March there will be legal initiatives submitted to the House on this subject and how to deal with the problem of corruption .. Again many other issues .. The issue is not slogans .. Bajaj To the factors and contexts of legal process and also feasible financial ..For example, see the experience of Nigeria was suffering from serious corruption linked to the oil sector also, but there have been significant changes in the management of Nigeria and there is a significant improvement in this area, at least according to international data .. Iraq will have this challenge and my hope and I know that the community supports at least the political centers It will not be easy but achievable within the international contexts and conventions that exist in the world today.This will not be easy but achievable within the international contexts and conventions that exist in the world today.This will not be easy but achievable within the international contexts and conventions that exist in the world today.[/ltr]
[ltr]
Q: Mr. President, but this deep state has been enabled by the ruling elites, or has it empowered itself and become a gol. [/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. President: By God, part of what I preferred is true, but my hope is that there are forces and there are leaders and there is the popular determination and the higher reference in Najaf and the religious leaders who want to drive this trend in the need to confront corruption this rampant bull is no longer acceptable and the state is no longer bearing the continuation This situation. [/ltr]
[ltr]
Q: In return to the powers of the President also .. It is the powers of the President to submit draft laws to the House of Representatives .. Which laws believe today is the most important .. Which law is working President or write a law now to the House of Representatives?[/ltr]
[ltr]
The fact is that we will have a draft law on the Spyker case and to count them martyrs and enable them to enjoy the rights of their people .. The reality of a serious disaster It is regrettable that we have not been dealing with the families of the martyrs of Spyker in a proper manner and required but now we are also busy drafting a bill to recover the money that went And there are draft laws related to reconstruction. There are constitutional bills that require their presence here. We are working on this. There is high level coordination with the Prime Minister's Office in this area so that the bills are coordinated. But the presidency and the presidency of the government Raya intends to activate this authority vigorously and submit bills to parliament.[/ltr]
[ltr]
Do not you as the president of the Republic of Iraq as a national I mean here what is happening in the Kurdistan region .. Is the Kurds the tendency of rejection and rebellion after they touched the softness and luxury of power .. I mean here is what is happening from internal conflict in the Kurdistan region .. Is the infection moved politically to the center ? [/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. President: The reality of the Kurdish situation is not different from the situation of the country in general and not different from the situation of the Kurds from other peoples .. There are competing political streams and rivalries .. There were consensus between the two parties, the Union and the Democratic, an agreement between the late Jalal Talabani and Mr. Massoud Barzani and the absence of Mam Jalal means a state of political mobility .. Now, in my opinion, the Kurdistan region needs to make new internal arrangements and we live in the stage of labor in my estimation on this subject, but the Kurds have always had teams and conflict, but perhaps not much known to others .. I went to public .. No It is harmful in that case if it lasts In the course of the political process, but in the end there is no alternative to the agreement of the main parties because without this agreement will be the situation in the region is dangerous to everyone on the region and the situation in Iraq in general. [/ltr]
[ltr]
Q: There is a difference in the days of the mountain's roughness.[/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. President: The luxury of power .. This is where the roughness of the mountain .. Differences less .. The luxury of power .. Note the situation in Iraq when we were in the opposition despite our differences unite this life Did not life .. The circumstances vary and come .. But ultimately the power of Kurdistan is for Baghdad and the power of Baghdad The Kurds have a basic interest in building on Baghdad and winning a national democratic Iraqi project because we share it together. Our people in other parts of Iraq are much more likely than us to have distinctions. Because I said .. The people of Basra .. The citizen in Basra .. The citizen in Samawah .. Moa A citizen in Mosul and Anbar and a citizen in Sulaymaniyah and Arbil all share the aspiration to a free and dignified life .. to a good school and a good educational system to raise their children to a health system to ensure their health .. To respect their dignity ..These events until I remember in the recent past during the war on a hustler was probably more than two million displaced people went to the Kurdistan region There was no case of social conflict has never been all when they were displaced to the south and to the center did not feel alienation really because the parents embraced them .. These participants and perhaps The differences in Kurdistan and in Baghdad reflect the manifestations of the Iraqi unity. But this is like what they say the reality of political life, but in the end I imagine that the wise will win a balanced agreement that we are going to form the government and what is required in the region, soon, God willing.But these are what they say the reality of political life, but in the end I imagine that the wise will win a balanced agreement we go to form a government and what is required in the region, soon, God willing.But these are what they say the reality of political life, but in the end I imagine that the wise will win a balanced agreement we go to form a government and what is required in the region, soon, God willing.[/ltr]
[ltr]
Q: Mr. President, we are very grateful to you, but there is a question that we agreed upon and did not ask. Why did the French refuse to accept the returnees?
The Iraqi security authorities have withdrawn them and they have surrendered within the framework of a security plan. Those who have committed crimes inside the Iraqi territories have committed crimes against the Iraqis and the right of Iraqi installations and are held accountable according to Iraqi law. [/ltr]
[ltr]
What did they object to the French? What did they demand?[/ltr]
[ltr]
Mr. Prime Minister: They did not demand them, but there is now a debate and discussion. This was discussed at the consultative meeting. The Prime Minister made an extensive presentation on this subject. There are many foreign nationals who do not want to be released. Do we do them? We are concerned with this matter, how to deal with this file, a file with commitments and implications. There is an incomplete Iraqi proposal to the prime minister and he made an offer to the consultative meeting and we are in the process of discussing it, but this will be an important issue that we will answer soon.
Mr. President, on behalf of my colleagues in Al-Iraqiya, thank you very much for the time you gave us and thank you for the frank answers. Thank you very much.
Mr. President: Thank you very much, God willing, next time the female component will be present and compensate for the absence this time[/ltr]

Baghdad / Al-Sabah
The President of the Republic Barham Salih to begin drafting a law to recover funds that went in the corruption operations out of the country, with another law on the issue of Spyker and the martyrs and the empowerment of their people to enjoy their rights. Saleh said during a meeting with a number of satellite channels, including Al-Iraqiya channel: "Iraq is now required to play a role in the region's reunification.
Talk about reforming the political process After 16 years of the new regime, there is a long talk about reforming this political process. What mechanisms will this reform take place?

Talk about reforming the political process After 16 years of the new regime, there is a long talk about reforming this political process. What mechanisms will this reform take place?
This is an important question, perhaps the biggest challenge to the Iraqi state project at this moment. We must put things in context. Iraq has not known stability for at least four decades, if not more, than the Iran-Iraq war to invade Kuwait. To 2003 and its repercussions and events that took place, this people did not know stability and our country is free from terrorism and subjected to the fierce onslaught of terrorist forces, and often when I talk with foreign leaders remind them of this reality that Iraq lived and lived Iraqis .. He came out of those challenges, and he was infested with wounds, no doubt about that Are determined by the Iraqis to move forward and reach a stable and decent life worthy of the citizen.
From 2003 to today, we are partners in a political process, and this political process has succeeded in important matters, including the writing of the constitution, including the elections, including the peaceful transfer of power, and the issue of peaceful transfer of power in the heart of the Middle East is not easy or easy.
However, there are many failures, but serious failures. What is happening in Basra is the deterioration of services, the lack of legal protection in many areas in the region, the non-return of the displaced, the recurrence of violence and the spread of terrorism. These are all manifestations and failures that accompanied the political process. From 2003 to today.
We have no choice but to dialogue. Yes, there is the political class, which is important and influential in the situation, but in my estimation, the societal phenomenon is also important, meaning there is an important social and civil movement at different levels, I see it as an important extension of the reform process. To come up with a set of reforms necessary to correct the political path.
A few days ago, we hosted the first national consultation meeting, and the fact was important. For a long time, there were no such meetings. Many of the parties participated in a lot of issues. We met at one table. Despite an agenda talking about government work, He goes back and says to talk about the basic issue before us, namely correcting the political process and achieving the required reforms.
I hope through these dialogues that we stand on those reforms required, foremost of which is that we have a Constitution that we have submitted to ourselves through a popular referendum in general, but this constitution has very few things that are said to be strained, perhaps changing the constitution will not be easy but at least to agree on a national interpretation The collector of some of these items may be shrouded in some ambiguity and fog and this is very important because we usually every 4 years in the elections we meet on the table to form a government.
[Asharq Al-Awsat] Do you have the political will for this reform and change? Are you convinced that you are moving as political forces at the same level as the movement of the Iraqi people in their legitimate demands?
In my opinion, the Iraqi citizen suffers real suffering and this is not afraid of anyone, go to Mosul and see the situation of Mosul and go to Basra and see the case of Basra and see the case of Nasiriyah and even in Baghdad, but also in my estimation, the home sees that there may be a development is not at the required level Which is achieved not at the appropriate speed required to achieve the minimum demands, but there is a positive trend or direction must be to benefit from and focus on it, I am not a proponent of underestimating the imbalances or shortcomings that are many and there is no doubt that it is accumulated, His country, recall 40 years of destruction, 40 years of siege 40 years of terrorism, 40 years of mass murder, abuse and corruption that has deepened into the government and the deep state has taken control of many things, to ask a prime minister or a republican president to work to eradicate all these problems overnight, even at the age of the government One is an unattainable but important promise.
[Asharq Al-Awsat] Since the first moments in which you took over the post of President of the Republic, the Iraqi media has been busy and is following you with an active and distinguished effort in the many meetings with heads of state. Do you believe that the time has come to amend the constitutional powers granted to the President of the Republic?
I would like to emphasize, away from the issue of powers, that my efforts and work as a president will not be useful and will not be useful except in harmony and coordination and cooperation with the Prime Minister, because this country does not bear in this stage only a situation of coordination, cooperation and solidarity. And his understanding of the need to restore Iraq's regional and international role.
We have made these visits on the basis of an agreed political program here in Baghdad. Iraq is part of this region. For decades, this country has been a battleground for international and regional parties. The Iraqis are the victims of violence and the victim of this conflict and we are driven by our resources and our lives. Many parties and destroyed this country and destroyed generations because of this situation will not stabilize the situation without finding a balanced state of Iraq in its relations.
I want the Iraqis to be confident that our speech in the Gulf, in Tehran, in Egypt, in France, in Italy, and with the Americans is the same rhetoric and the same logic, that is, we do not want to be part of the Axis policy. We want to distance our country from the conflicts and absurd conflicts that have engulfed this region. We want a new regional system with Iraq as its center, based on the creation of economic interdependence among the peoples of the region. The problem before us is the eradication of terrorism and its eradication, but a problem no less important than that, perhaps even in terms of its most important and dangerous repercussions. The souls of the flock Today, 38 million people are growing each year, and 70% of Iraqis are under the age of 30. Unemployment is high, and the Iraqi economy can not, in its current form, create opportunities for these unemployed youth. Iraq only, but threatens the region as a whole, the region
* Much talk recently about the US presence in Iraq in the light of some of the blocks to seek a resolution of the House of Representatives to remove these forces .. How do you see these endeavors and if it got and issued this decision in your opinion what are the repercussions of this decision on the country?
First of all, I do not want to talk about hypothetical cases. There is a debate. There, as you mentioned some of the projects presented to the parliament, let us emphasize the main points. Iraq issues the fight against terrorism and the Iraqis paid a heavy price to end the military coup. But I want to emphasize that the final victory. Has not yet been achieved, yes, the military has ended up on the ground and militarily, but there are many elements for Daash still demarcating and embellishing between the Iraqi-Syrian borders and we must have a permanent security alert to deal with this subject, we have a long way to consolidate this victory economically politically and intellectually, Serious and real But it needs to be entrenched. A third important point that we must stand at is that we are constantly evaluating the security situation. There is no demand from Iraq. There is no demand from international forces and international elements such as America or America to establish military bases here in Iraq or to find ground combat forces in Iraq. The battle against Da'ash was not a combat force, but rather a training force. This is an important point in this context. The discussion is discussed with the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and the military and security leadership. The situation is always a matter of serious national security. Current political debates have borne us In the future, our interest first, the interest of Iraqi security and Iraqi sovereignty, will be the standards we are dealing with, once again, training and empowering Iraqi forces in their fight against terrorism, not military bases or ground combat forces. These are the contexts agreed upon by the leaders. Political and government.
* Iranian President Sheikh Hassan Rowhani will pay a visit to Baghdad, the second visit by an Iranian president after 2003. Preliminary information indicates that Iraq is in the process of re-establishing the Algiers agreement signed in 1975?
The visit of President Rohani to Baghdad will be an important visit. I visited Tehran and we had in-depth dialogues with the Iranian leadership. We discussed many of these files. Our relations with Iran are important. I said in all the countries we visited that Iraq's interest lies in having relations Very good with Iran.
We have 1400 km of border with Iran and few historical and social cultural ties between the two neighboring peoples. In the circumstances of the struggle against the former regime, Iran embraced the Iraqi opposition and embraced the Iraqi refugees in the recent war against Da'ash and Iran played an important role in supporting the Iraqi forces in resisting and fighting against them.
I spoke about this in some detail. We must remind the world of the significance of this relationship. In the meeting with President Rouhani, there was talk about the 1975 agreement. We also talked about the need for understandings on different contexts on Iraqi-Iranian relations. Its legacy inherited from its predecessors and the 1975 Convention of this legacy which we have inherited and which have mutual obligations to the parties.
Our relations with Iran were not at the expense of our relations with the Arab depth and were not at the expense of our relations with the Gulf and will not be at the expense of our relations with other countries and work beneficial to all parties and beneficial to our people basically and out of our interest.
[Asharq Al-Awsat] The situation in Kirkuk now stands on the brink of disagreement, because of the differences. Where do you stand from this dispute and how will it contribute to solving the problems?
There are many variables we do not want to storm the situation in Kirkuk and the disputed areas, and Article 140 constitutional entitlement must be implemented, and the contexts of implementation require legal and administrative procedures must be agreed upon, But let me come to the subject at the core, all tried solutions to Kirkuk and failed these solutions, we must win the Kirkuk solution to the issue of Kirkuk, Kirkuk is a city where the Kurdish component, Turkmen and Arab and the Christians and other components, and after these years to lean from the conflict and problems that hit this city Click to read I told them that we want to win a solution from within Kirkuk, with the consent of the Kurdish, Arab and Turkmen components, with respect for the other existing components, a solution based on understanding on the administration in Kirkuk. And the security system in Kirkuk, and also There is another important file that has been neglected. It is the investment and economic file. Kirkuk is a rich city. When I visit it, it looks as though there is no oil. The oil in this city leaves only the smoke for the people of Kirkuk, not its resources, and everyone prays to Kirkuk and everyone demands Kirkuk. A temporary solution by the end of this situation, in my estimation with the original people of Kirkuk really tired and tired of bidding on their behalf, they want a solution to their city wins to respect their will and this requires cooperation of Baghdad and the region and make sure that there will be no value and there will be no imposition of wills, the people of Kirkuk, Solve their situations The problem of Kirkuk, the status of Kirkuk and the dispute over Kirkuk have remained a problem of contract since the establishment of the Iraqi state, perhaps at least. Since the 1960s, the time has come for us to come to a solution
* We always hear about the powers of the post of President of the Republic compared to that may be expressed in the post of Prime Minister .. We ask about the program of the President of the Republic for four years to come first .. Second Will we see the President of the Republic three deputies?
Article 66 of the Constitution states: The Federal Executive shall consist of the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister and exercise its powers in accordance with the Constitution and Article 67. The President of the Republic is the Head of State and the symbol of the unity of the country and represents the sovereignty of the country. And to ensure the adherence to the Constitution and the maintenance of Iraq's independence and sovereignty and unity and territorial integrity in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution .. These powers are important, the protection of the Constitution is important .. Corner of the executive power is important .. But I want to be accurate in my answer too .. The subject is not in a legal interpretation And vocabulary .. We saw in the The country is burdened with many burdens and does not tolerate the debates and disputes. We need a state letter, a state policy and a real solidarity between the constitutional institutions in order to enable the government to implement its promised program of parliament. And the citizen .. I have a close relationship with Dr. Adel Abdul Mahdi, brother Aziz and Professor Fadel, and we have a long relationship .. We did not move, not in many of the general issues in the country, and I am in the field of my work only in full coordination with him because this is required .. I can not speak With a governor in Nasiriyah, for example, and I say to him, we will work for you, and this is what the government is fighting in its area of competence if there is no coordination. I can not go to a country and make agreements otherwise because that is at the core of the government's terms of reference. Between the two sides .. The second important thing that the good personal relationship will not be enough and must be For the institutional and constitutional relationship based on this constitution, because that comes after me and after Dr. Adel Abdul-Mahdi must be committed .. I hope to establish such institutional relationship. We do not move, not in many public issues in the country, and I am in the field of my work only in full coordination with him because this is required .. I can not speak with a governor in Nasiriyah example and tell him we will work for you this and the government in its area of jurisdiction if not There is no coordination ... I can not go to a country and make agreements otherwise because this is at the core of the government's terms of reference, but the understandings are all in the context of coordination between the parties .. The second important thing that the good personal relationship will not be enough and must become a relationship Institutional and constitutionally based on this constitution because the one who comes after me and after Dr. Adel Must Mahdi must be committed .. I hope to establish such institutional relationship. We do not move, not in many public issues in the country, and I am in the field of my work only in full coordination with him because this is required ..

I hope to establish such institutional relationship.
* From the powers of the President to submit bills to the House of Representatives .. Which laws do you think today is the most important?
- We will have a bill on the issue of Spyker and their martyrs and the empowerment of their families to enjoy their rights .. It is a serious disaster, and unfortunately it has not been dealing with the families of the martyrs of Spyker in a proper manner required, but now also busy drafting a law to recover funds that went in the operations Corruption and out of the country and how to obtain them and there are draft laws related to reconstruction and there are draft constitutional laws require their existence .. There is high-level coordination with the Office of the Prime Minister in this area so that the draft laws are coordinated .. The Presidency intends to activate this power strongly and provide Laws to parliament projects.
