Rome,
Italy, August 2, (AGI), -- Foreign Minister Massimo
D'Alema expressed Italy's "sympathy for the Kurdish
cause and its people" whose hopes are fuelled by the
process of democratic reconstruction in Iraq after a
long history of suffering.
Standing side-by-side with the Iraqi Vice Prime
Minister, Kurdish Barhem Saleh, D'Alema assured
Italy's willingness to collaborate with "all the
regions of Iraq".
D'Alema pointed out that "We have been present
especially in the south of Iraq, but we are willing
to develop collaboration" with other provinces such
as that of Iraqi Kurdistan.
According to the Italian Foreign Minister, it is
important that Iraq be remembered not only by the
images of the war.
D'Alema spoke about the market of Sulaimaniyah in
Kurdistan-Iraq as an example, which he visited in
his recent visit to Iraqi Kurdistan, a place "where
one can walk freely". |

About Massimo D'Alema: In April 2006, just
after elections, he was proposed as the future
President of the Chamber of Deputies, but Communist
Refoundation strongly demanded for Fausto Bertinotti
to become the next President.
After a couple of days of heated debate, D'Alema stepped back to prevent a
fracture between political parties, an act applauded
by his allies. He later went on to become Minister
of Foreign Affairs in the new Prodi government.
