Erbil-Hewler, Kurdistan region (Iraq), --
President of Iraq's Kurdistan region Massoud Barzani
said on Tuesday that the U.S. President George W.
Bush has pledged not to abandon Iraq till achieving
"complete victory", denouncing the Iranian shelling
of the Kurdish villages in Kurdistan region.
Addressing the first session of the second
legislative term of the Kurdish parliament, the
Kurdistan president said "the U.S. president pledged
to realize complete victory and this is the U.S.
administration's strategy."
"Bush asserted during his meeting with Iraqi leaders
that he will not accept to lose or to leave the
country in a way that could be described as a U.S.
surrender," Barzani explained. |

Meanwhile, the Kurdistan region president strongly
denounced the Iranian-Turkish shelling of the border
regions, urging the two countries to immediately
stop these acts.
He emphasized that the shelling of the border
regions does not serve Iraq's neighboring countries'
interests.
"I strongly criticized the shelling, mainly the
Iranian because its artillery shelling surpassed the
border regions and we did not expect that from
Iran," the president noted.
U.S. President George W. Bush arrived Monday in Iraq
on a surprise one-day visit to the country.
Bush was accompanied by a number of U.S. officials,
including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and
National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley.
