Q & A with Iraqi President Jalal Talabani

Baghdad, Asharq Al-Awsat - So far, it seems that the Iraqi political blocs that have won in the last legislative elections at last have agreed on a single issue, namely to support the nomination by the Kurdistan Alliance of President Jalal Talabani for a second presidential term.

President Talabani has given Asharq Al-Awsat an exclusive, lengthy, and comprehensive interview, which is his first interview with an Arab publication after the elections, and in which he talks about the role of Saudi Arabia and the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques in helping Iraq and the Iraqis without interfering in its internal affairs.

The following is the text of the interview: link ~
