WASHINGTON, --
Iraqi President Jalal Talabani warns that Iraq can
"make trouble" for its neighbors if
they do not stop interfering in his country's
internal affairs.
In an interview to air on National Public Radio on
Tuesday, Talabani said Syria, Iran and Turkey were
interfering and warned that Iraq's patience was
wearing thin.
"We are asking them to stop interfering in our
internal affairs and respect the sovereignty and
independence of Iraq otherwise we will be obliged to
say something," Talabani said in excerpts of the
interview released on Monday.
President Bush also has accused Syria and Iran of
interfering in Iraqi affairs and pressed them to
halt the flow of militants through their borders.
Asked what Iraq would do if the interfering
continues, Talabani said his people would respond in
kind. |

"The Iraqi people will respond in the same way,
we'll support the opposition of other countries,
will try to make trouble for them as they are doing
for us," he said.
"We can do it in Iran, in Syria, in Turkey, but we
are not doing it," Talabani said. "Our policy is not
to interfere in the internal affairs of these
countries and ask them and beg them not to interfere
in our internal affairs because it creates chaos in
the Middle East."
