Baghdad (NINA) – Leader of the National Alliance, Ibrahim al-Jafari, said, "We are support demonstrating and our peoples' legitimate demands."
A statement on Sunday, Jan. 27, quoted Jafari in his speech before the International Conference of Islamic Unity, being held in Tehran, saying, "The Government in the service of the people, Parliament in the service of the people, the judiciary in the service of the people, everything in the service of the people and we support our peoples' legitimate demands."
He added, "Demonstrating is an expression of the public opinion, who chooses the government through ballots, and criticize the government; yet we trust that the people realize the dangers surrounding the demonstrations, by not allowing the Baath to infiltrate them."
As for the Arab Spring, Jafari said, "We impatiently waited for the Spring, but, regrettably some countries are afflicted by some defects."
He went of saying, "We are more than 50 Islamic countries located where the contenents of Europe, Asia and Africa meet, and we possess over two-third of the world's oil reserve and great moral wealth; but such moral, intellectual, political and economic energies are neutralized." / End.
