And the success of his efforts to establish balanced relations between the neighboring countries and the countries of the Arab League and its international obligations, as well as there were questions about the nature of his duties as Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iraq. Zebari was keen to be noted at the outset of his speech to his failure to press releases to avoid any confusion in the complex circumstances, but continued to answer the questions, "Union" was this interview:

Q. Where did your big to remove Iraq from under Chapter VII?

- These efforts are continuing, Iraq practically came out of the provisions of Chapter VII and get rid of tens of binding decisions under this chapter on the subject of weapons of mass destruction, disarmament and oil for food program and many other obligations, what remains is the three key decisions related to the relationship between Iraq and Kuwait: Missing and Kuwaiti property, and maintenance of border markers (resolution 833), and the payment of war reparations by 5% of Iraq's oil revenues. We are currently in the Foreign Ministry are working up to 17 of the current month on all members of the Security Council to communicate with the Secretary-General of the United Nations and its secretariat, and with the Kuwaiti side, in order to transfer the file Kuwaiti missing persons and property of Chapter VII to Chapter VI. And very soon we will be maintenance of border signs with sister Kuwait, and if Tovguena in close file missing persons and prisoners we have approached the end of the half, we practically are close to reach our goal, and tireless efforts are continuing and achieve remove Iraq from under Chapter VII enhance the world's confidence in Iraq normal country returned to its normal position in the international community.



Q. How do you see Iraq balanced relations with neighboring countries and Iraq's membership in the Arab League?

- There is no conflict between Iraq's desire to balanced relations with neighboring countries and among Iraq's membership in the Arab League and Altazamth. Iraq is currently head of the Arab League Council, which is keen at the same time good relations with Iran and Turkey, The two countries two big Mgeortan us, and between us and them overlapping interests and varied, according to our convictions under the Constitution and the laws of Iraq and our vision, there is no conflict or clash between all these relations in circles and Arab neighbors, and the original Iraq stems in its relations with other countries according to its national interests, which is its own decision and there is no any country dictate foreign policies or dictate terms on how to build external relations and development, what governs our actions in dealing with the rest of the world is the interest of the Iraqi people and the sovereignty of Iraq.



Q. How can Hoshyar Zebari, the leader of the Kurdistan Alliance and member of the Political Bureau of the Kurdistan Democratic Party to maintain the domestic balance of his speech, in light of the contentions heated up an end, in many cases, unfortunately, between the presidencies of the federal and territorial governments?

- It's a difficult task and very tough, one of the hardest tasks I face, one hand and foreign minister a member of the Council of Ministers of the federal government represents Iraq as a whole, and to defend and represent it in all international forums, on the other "you" is a member of a political alliance, the Kurdistan Alliance, and personal partisan and political in the region, so I make sure that Oazin between all these obligations fixed in my conscience and mind, between these two tasks, which you choose to work from Ajlhma all my energies and my abilities modest, through my concern for the to be a bridge of communication and understanding to address some of the contract and difficulties, sometimes succeed my efforts and sometimes not, but originally in the approaches is the need to ensure a balance between my obligations and to maintain the public interest of all Iraqis above all else, must be representative of Iraq Society and not part of it, and not be a spokesman for a particular party, with my concern at the same time the legitimate interests of the territory Within this framework and understanding based on I am a representative of all Iraqis, of course, including the Kurds, I am a representative of all: all the ingredients without prejudice to any party at the expense of other parties without discrimination or prejudice. In this sense we avoid delving sliding or falling into these arguments and debates and political polarization, and we remain keen to do our job a member of the federal government, with full concern for the political commitments in the region.

Balance you Saltana for the very difficult task.

Q. Political virtue of your experiences and your balanced approach sober who you know, what is your advice, and you are a statesman, for the rest of your fellow politicians, to establish civil peace Ogz walk in the building of democratic civil state federal?

- Consolidation of civil peace and to continue the process of building a civil state of the Federal Democratic directly related to our work in the implementation of the foreign policy of the state of Iraq and its representation in international forums, what were not the home front strong and consistent hard for us to work in the international arena, and have repercussions on our international as far as approaching our goals or move away it (the civil state of the Federal Democratic), so interested to a large extent, I personally and the State Department in terms of professional and technical, too, that there will be peace of my family and agree embodied the values ​​of the democratic system and gubernatorial Constitution and the rule of law, Valtstt and political differences extent attraction passive and not differences constructive on the selection of the best ways to build Iraq desired part of consolidated democratic relations, not a sharp political division in the country, will reflect negatively on the performance of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Minister activity personally. My personal well-established and adhered I work with are: not through constructive dialogue administrator-quiet Capricorn committed Ptoukitat time to resolve internal disputes and problems.

Last week we were in Cairo, Iraq participated in the conference written constitutions in countries Arab Spring, and it raised that Iraq lucky more than other P "has the constitutional and legal can handle internal differences," At the conference I told them, "We are in Iraq wrote a constitution builds the state, not authority to adopt a constitution, "The Constitution systems relationship and ways to solve internal problems and systems the relationship between the federal authorities and the provinces and the region and the distribution of powers and independence and balance," the cause of the problems that currently exist in Egypt they set up legislative and executive branches first, then they want a constitution is not without executive influence, Lesson we made from the Iraqi experience: the Constitution first, then held the executive authority, what happened in Egypt is the opposite of the Iraqi experience completely, conducted elections and formed a government, then they want to write a constitution, and when he writes ruling Constitution happens a split in the community as we are witnessing in Egypt now, we have people elected a National Assembly wrote the Constitution and make a referendum on it, then after elections were held under the Constitution and was therefore form a government.

It is this deduced my advice that "there is no substitute for serious dialogue fruitful and not dialogue for dialogue or lashing or relay problems or suspended or frozen, but to address the problems of reality facing the country bravely treatment of perspectives and national and should remain stable monument eyes of everyone that the constitution is officer of the relationship of the political forces and society is the contract upon which the state and the belt that collects the best way, we must refer to it. And also this is our duty we politicians and should work on it always: all parties not Ttakndq, be flexible and waive some of its positions, by year civilized life dialogue, and this means negotiation and mutual concessions leading to the formulation of participants, as well as in the case face the issues difficult to resolve in the possible freezing and giving priority to what unites, and setting up a mechanism to follow up later.



Q. After World War II, turned Japan and Germany to construction, Japan has a small army, Germany, too, and they do not possess weapons "offensive comprehensive", Iraq historically before July 58 hired international relations to ensure safe levels and safety, how do you see the issue of arming the Iraqi armed forces?

- Originally each country needs to have some arms for the defense of its borders, even a country like Switzerland internationally proclaimed neutral has an army and arming Advanced, that arming the armed forces of the elements of national sovereignty and state-building, and no one objected to be Iraq's powerful army defensive, Army committed to the constitution that does not interfere in politics and not to line up with any party in the political differences, but we should also recognize that the strength of nations is not measured by the number of teams and tanks, aircraft and other military equipment, but measured force states currently capabilities economic welfare of its people and its impact on the international community: force soft-owned, in the media and relations with countries, the credibility of dealing in the international community and its various aid for others, and this is what we should keep in our plans to build a new Iraq. The building should be the Iraqi military for good and not evil, as was previously where the military forces, the fourth largest army in the world and an arsenal of conventional weapons and non-conventional and weapons of mass destruction, a tool wars of aggression with Iran and the invasion of Kuwait and internal repression. We want a strong Iraq with his army and built by domestic and economic cohesion and regional and international influence, a force for the good of the Iraqis and the region and humanitarian practices of a process, not just slogans.



Q. Political disputes in the fluctuation between hot and quiet, Hoshyar Zebari optimistic or pessimistic, or what about the solutions to the causes of the crisis and not the prosthesis?

- Originally differences exist, unfortunately deepened because of the absence of the confidence factor, confidence fell significantly between the parties of the political process, even now each party explains acted the other always negative, and there look Sodoaah to another, and to make matters worse the lack of dialogue in an atmosphere of frankness and openness between the parties , making each party clings his Atakndq true positions, which led to the increasing division and suspicion, a phenomenon that is certainly not healthy. The President of the Republic, Mr. Jalal Talabani projects for national dialogue to address the immediate challenges, one exits, but it must be the process of building trust between our leaders, noting that Sinai trust takes time, in light of the fact that time is not in favor of all parties, repeat time is not on everyone's interest, and there are positive signs to resolve some crises, such as the removal of tension between the center regarding the disputed areas, where things got to rally the armies. This situation weakened the confidence of the world in Iraq as a whole, the federal government and the region, for investments and the entry of international companies for the implementation of projects, so the internal market be affected by these tensions, which will reflect on the citizen himself, who is a victim.

And whenever there is a quick fix solutions and timely whenever emerged positive role of leadership in the access to solutions, not in the interpretation and exegesis, leaders eager to reach about through awareness of the importance of mutual concessions and the need in the process of political, social, due to approach the medial accommodate everyone with a view to overcome the crises and problems.
