Tariq Aziz accuses Crown Prince Hassan of intervening in Iraq's affairs

Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz has accused Jordan's Crown Prince Hassan of intervening in Iraq's affairs and criticized Crown Prince Hassan as well as of not denouncing last month's US - British military actions against Iraq.

Aziz' stated that Crown Prince Hassan has committed the same fault as Jordanian officials who in return behaved as they were the regents of the Iraqi people.

Crown Prince Hassan confirmed during the Arab parliamentarians' meeting in Amman last Sunday that Jordan hopes that Iraq's people could enjoy freedom and democracy.

Aziz stated that during the meeting Crown Prince Hassan overlooked the topic about which they all gathered -- the US -- British military action against Iraq.
