Sulaimaniyah, Kurdistan region (Iraq),
January 10,-- The US strategy would be in favor of
the Iraqi people, Iraqi President Jalal Talabani
said Wednesday.
At a press conference in Sulaimaniyah with Zalmay
Khalilzad, US ambassador to Iraq, Talabani said that
he was not attentive of the strategy's details, yet
he was confident that it would bring about security
and stability to Iraq.
Talabani pointed out that the new security plan; set
by Premier Nouri Al-Maliki, aimed at ending
sectarian violence and at the prevalence of law. He
added that the Peshmergas (armed Kurdish fighters)
would not partake in the plan.
He also urged all Iraqi powers to adopt a more
tolerant and forgiving mind-set, as it would
inevitably contribute to national reconciliation.
He said that Iraq's constitutional ban on Baathists,
Hussein's party members, from participating in
government should stand, yet they should be granted
their nationalistic rights despite their political
affiliations. |

In his part, Khalilzad urged countries neighboring
Iraq not to take advantage of the current
difficulties the country is going through and hoped
that the new US strategy would succeed in Iraq as it
did in the Kurdistan region.
