Jalal Talabani Accept Quotations

If those who call themselves the Iraqi resistance desired to contact me, I would welcome them. I would not refuse to meet any Iraqi who wants to meet me. But of course that does not mean I will accept what he says.

But I think that once the results are announced then it should be accepted by everyone, even if unwillingly.

We have accepted the amendments which we think necessary for the Islamic and Arab world,

we hope the people will accept this constitution, but we don't deny there are some disputes.

We hope that this constitution will be accepted by all Iraqis and that it will be for everybody. We are optimistic ...

The constitution is left to our people to approve or reject it, ... I hope that our people will accept it despite some flaws.

There is no excuse or justification for the Sunni brothers to boycott after we accepted all their demands and suggestions without changing a letter in them, ... Their task now is to participate with us and vote 'yes' for the constitution, and cooperate with us to fight terrorism and the people who want to destroy the country.
