In
response to a question by Al Hayat on the existence
of paradox of situations between the Iraqi republic
presidency and the Syrian premiership, Othman said,
"Talabani depends on the policy of not being driven
into the Syrian-American conflict in the region." He
added, "The other situations, which are
characterized with inflexibility and hostility, are
not right, as during the regime of the late
president Hafez Al Asad, Damascus has supported the
Iraqi opposition.
In addition, President Bashar Al Asad has adopted
the same situation." Othman disclosed that the Iraqi
government and the Americans have received an
invitation to visit the borders zone and witness the
taken measures to control the borders so as to
prevent sneakers from entering Iraq.
Othman believed that Damascus "is serious and
truthful in the offer that it presented to the Iraqi
and American officials to witness its noticeable
measures on the borders between the two countries,
as Damascus does not desire to be exposed to more
pressures."
