Iraq has turned to Syria and the United Arab Emirates to facilitate Iraqi passengers' travel in an attempt to alleviate the sanctions imposed on the movement of Iraqi citizens, Alshar-al-Awsat reported on Friday.

Iraqi sources in Amman said that the General Company for Passenger Transport in Iraq has started negotiations with Syrian transport companies to draw up a working formula for an agreement between the two sides to operate passenger coaches between Baghdad and Damascus.
