Iraq-Syria, Politics, 7/1/2003

Al-Sharif Ali Bin al-Hussein, the chairman of the Royal constitutional movement in Iraq said he might visit Syria in the context of his current tour on several Arab states he had already started last week in the United Arab Emirates UAE.

In a statement to the UAE al-Khaleij daily, al-Sharif Bin Ali explained that in case he assumes power in Iraq, he will work for the establishment good relations with Syria "because it is a neighborly and sisterly country and the interests of the two people requires the maintaining of such relations."

On the future relations between Iraq and Iran, al-Sharif said the two neighborly countries should be careful against attempts aiming at creating problems between the two countries.

He expressed his confidence that the wisdom of the Iranian leadership will not permit it interfere in the Iraqi affairs and not to provide any material and military support to Iraqi sides to be used in acts against Iraq's stability.

He added that one of the objectives of the constitutional movement is for Iraq to join the Gulf Cooperation Council GCC as a Gulf state and to win the confidence of the people of Kuwait, once again, because the Iraqi people has nothing to do with what Saddam Hussein had done.

He considered that the existence of the coalition forces in Iraq is not occupation, rather liberation, that might become occupation if the presence of the coalition forces in Iraq will continue for long, adding that the presence of these forces in Iraq should not exceed months. He also said that the Iraqi resistance of occupation is acts of destruction, damaging the Iraqis because the American and British forces retaliate acts these acts.
