In addition, such statements lead to increased disputes between the political parties and to the accumulation of new problems at a time when we need to think and work together in order to solve the problems that already exist—especially as we are building up a new democracy, which is what all the political and national components of Iraq want.
As it is in democratic and developed countries throughout the world, such problems are best solved through working together, and through dialogue and communication. This mutual effort would lead to the development of all the various sectors, including the oil industry, and to increasing production through the use of reputable international companies who already have significant experience in this field. And, this would benefit all of Iraq’s people.
We call for the swift passage of the hydrocarbons law, as soon as possible, in a manner consistent with the constitution, which was ratified by the majority of Iraq’s people. This law will pave the way for overcoming the problems and disputes in this important sector.
This is a translation of the statement that was released in Arabic on 14 February 2012.
