Iran wants Iraq to pay war reparations
Iraq-Iran, Politics, 5/20/2005

Iran said today that it will continue to call on Iraq to pay reparations for the eight-year war of 1980-1988, saying that the issue will be raised at the due time.

"Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi told IRNA that certain important outstanding issues pertaining to Iraq's imposed war against Iran, particularly the issue of reparations, will remain in the agenda of the Iranian government," IRNA reported.

IRNA added "Asefi, speaking in reaction to the recent remarks by the Iraqi government spokesman, said the war was the fruit of the hostile policies of Saddam Hussain and the Baath regime. However, he stressed that Iran will not forgo the issue of reparations which have resulted because of the war."

Iraq who faces political and economic hardship is still having to pay war reparations to many with claims against Iraq as a result of its invasion of Kuwait.
