Jalal Talabani Others Quotations

I believe that we are about to face a new strategy of the neighboring countries, especially by the brothers who support Iraq and the Iraqi people.

The Sunni Arab brothers should understand that their aspirations will be achieved through political action and not violence and terrorist acts,

I wish that all Iraqi Arabs, Kurds and others vote 'Yes' to the draft constitution which represents their ambition to build a democratic, federal, united and independent state,

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.

Not a big number, ... Only the presence enough to prevent others from interfering in our internal affairs.

There is not a need for a huge number of American forces, but I think there will be a need for two or three small bases for frightening others not to intervene in our international affairs,

Our Sunni Arabs brothers made a big mistake when they boycotted the elections. But they are an important group and we cannot ignore them and therefore they must take part in the democratic process.

You and your (Kurdish) brothers are the heroes of liberating Iraq,
