  1. “The most viable and dynamic solution would be to address the root causes of the crisis from a perspective that encourages the parties to negotiate through a framework geared towards a comprehensive political process that spares the brotherly Syrian people from the scourge of violence, killing and terrorism and provides for a bright future of peace and security free from the spectre of displacement and having to flee to a neighbouring country.”

  2. “Despite all the difficulties, the Iraqi Government has decided to establish a relief committee, chaired by the Iraqi Minister of Immigration and including the pertinent ministries and the Iraqi Red Crescent working in cooperation and coordination with relevant international organizations, in particular the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. The Government has allocated 50 billion dinars from its emergency reserves to build refugee camps for Syrian refugees and to provide for their basic needs. My Government believes in the importance of every effort to resolve the issue of refugees in neighbouring countries, so as to face up to this humanitarian crisis. However, such efforts should be based on the circumstances and be governed by the developments in the crisis.”

  3. “We support every Arab, regional and international effort to help achieve a just and honourable political solution. Like other countries of the region, Iraq, which is linked to fraternal Syria by bonds of neighbourliness and brotherhood, has taken on its burden of Syrian refugees - in addition to the thousands of Iraqis living in Syria who have returned to Iraq. That has compelled the Iraqi Government to deal with two issues, namely, addressing the situation of returning Iraqis and providing a safe haven for their brothers, the Syrian refugees. There are currently more than 15,000 Syrian refugees in Iraq.”

  4. “We therefore feel that stopping interference in the Syrian issue and clearing the way for the efforts of Joint Special Representative Brahimi are the minimum conditions necessary for achieving a peaceful solution to the Syrian crisis. Iraq's position is always to stand by the legitimate aspirations of the Syrian people and their right to self- determination and to themselves decide their political future. Iraq supports the political process ofa peaceful political transition of power and condemns the acts of killing, violence, bombardment and violations of human rights. It also condemns the militarization of the conflict and calls for an end to foreign interference. We are also concerned about the consequences of the Syrian crisis as manifested in the spread of extremism and terrorism.”

  5. “The third pillar has to do with providing the necessary support to the efforts of the United Nations and the Joint United Nations- League of Arab States Special Envoy to reach the goal of establishing a comprehensive political process with Syrian leadership. We continue strongly to believe that the six-point plan and the Geneva document could lead to resolving the crisis if the necessary support were provided to Lakhdar Brahimi's mission. Given Iraq's historic responsibility dictated by the exceptionalcircumstancesinthe Arabregion,my country believes that the continuation of foreign interference, regardless of its origin or focus, in supporting one side or the other will not lead to resolving the crisis, but will exacerbate it and thereby worsen the Syrian people's humanitarian situation.”

  6. “The first would be an internal Syrian dialogue, while the second would entail an Arab-Syrian dialogue under the auspices of the League of Arab States to peaceably resolve the crisis. Along with its Arab brothers and friends in the framework of the Action Group for Syria, Iraq has also worked energetically to produce the Geneva communique, which put forward a road map based on three pillars. The first pillar entails the various steps needed to implement the Kofi Annan six-point plan, including the immediate cessation of all forms of violence. The second pillar concerns principles for a political transition process that fulfils the legitimate aspirations of the Syrian people.”

  7. “We continue to call for the increasing suffering to be addressed responsibly, in order to stop the Syrian bloodshed and establish the necessary atmosphere to begin a comprehensive political reform process, agreed upon by the representatives of the Syrian people, that leads to the achievement of their legitimate aspirations for democracy and reform while simultaneously safeguarding the security, integrity and stability of Syria, and thereby the security, integrity and stability of the other countries of the region. Iraq is determined to play an active role as Chair of the Summit of the League of Arab States. We have therefore worked tirelessly to find a peaceful solution to the Syrian crisis by introducing an initiative focused on establishing two negotiating tracks.”

  8. “We have therefore from the outset expressed our grave concern about the escalation of the crisis in Syria, not only because it is a neighbour and a sister country but because, more than any other country in the region, it has been a victim of the evils of terrorism, killing and violence. Iraq therefore understands more than anyone else the dangers of the events in its neighborhood.”

  9. “Mr. Al-Doreky (Iraq) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, I would like to thank your delegation, Mr. President, for convening this important meeting at the ministerial level to discuss humanitarian issues in Syria, which are the subject of exceptional attention in my country, countries of the region and the international community as a whole owing to the humanitarian dimensions and the great and dangerous repercussions that this matter has on the future of security and stability in the entire region. Iraq is deeply committed to the security and stability of the region.”
