Statement

The Foreign Ministry is following with great concern the ongoing security developments in Syria and their serious repercussions on security and stability in the region. 

The Ministry stresses Iraq’s firm position calling for the necessity of protecting civilians and sparing them the scourge of conflict, and underlines the importance of self-restraint from all parties, and to opt for the language of dialogue and the adoption of peaceful solutions to avoid  military escalation.

As well the Ministry expresses its absolute rejection of targeting innocent civilians, warning that the continuation of violence will exacerbate the crisis and deepen the state of instability in the region, which hinders efforts to restore security and peace.

The Ministry reiterates its call to the international community to intensify efforts aimed at ending the human suffering in Syria, and to support the tracks of a political solution that guarantees the unity of Syria and the safety of its people.
