Question & Answer
Arman Kirakossian, Deputy Foreign Minister, responds to a question by Armenpress News Agency on Iraq's Constitutional Referendum
September 09, 2005
Q.: In October, the Iraqi people will probably hold a constitutional referendum. It is apparent that the adoption of the draft constitution, which was followed by a hot debate in Iraq's Parliament, received the international community's positive assessment. Taking into consideration that Armenia played its part in the rebuilding of Iraq, how do you assess the completion of the process of drafting a constitution?

A.: We have followed the process of the Iraqi constitutional referendum. In a country like Iraq, with great religious and national diversity, the Constitution adoption process is not only a vital and critical process, but also a complex process. We appreciate the willpower and efforts of the Iraqi political forces. We believe that the people of Iraq will adopt a constitution that will enhance the further development and stability of Iraq, and that it will correspond to the national and vital interests of all its people.
