Mahmoud Othman Prime Quotations

I expect that there still will be difficulties over choosing the prime minister.

He doesn't share his decision with others, like his last visit to Turkey, which was wrong because he didn't tell his deputy, the president, the minister of foreign affairs. It was a decision he made by himself without going back to the government. Iraq is in a pool of blood and the prime minister left to visit Turkey, while in such a situation there shouldn't be any official outside the country.

He cannot make a successful prime minister. We experienced ... a year in which he was not capable of addressing the issues of Iraq. Why should we repeat this failure?

It's a good step forward, and we will cooperate with him. I don't think he's a strong sectarian. Now he's a prime minister, and he has to rule all Iraq, he has to be balanced and objective.
