Baghdad - INA 

The Chaldean Catholic Patriarch of Iraq and the world, Mar Louis Raphael Sako, sent a letter to Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi, in which he presented his vision with several points regarding the shape of the state and its future, and addressed the expectations of postponing the elections.

Sako said in his message, which was seen by the Iraqi News Agency (INA) today, Friday:

 "Ensuring stability in Iraq is taking concrete and courageous steps to agree on the form of the state, and the structural problem is that there has not yet been realistic agreement on the form of the state, or there is no conviction." For most politicians in an organized state, loyalty to the homeland and confining arms to the state in defense of its absolute sovereignty.
He added, "What is the real and not theoretical form of the state in Iraq? Is it federal, democratic, civil, religious...etc? In my opinion, the situation is still very vague and complicated."
He continued, "The dilemma is in the form of the state and not in the formation of the government, where it is possible to agree on the government, but each party remains preserving its state, authority and interests, and it seems that all paths of reconciliation are suspended so far, and talk about an open dialogue that I see is useless without the presence of political will." And responsible patriotism, to build new sincere relations for cooperation in achieving equality among all Iraqis, ensuring their rights and equality, and providing them with services.He
believed that “this needs agreement on the form of the state, the constitution and the system, and our politicians need to be humane and patriotic and striving for peace and love, as Pope Francis emphasized during his visit to Iraq. "

He pointed out that" there is a sense to postpone the elections or not to hold them , and see if these elections were conducted was not in favor of some political parties will not accept the results, the country is due to the first box. "
Addressing Al-Kadhimi, he continued: "The president's country, after 18 years of the demise of the regime, and the exacerbation of the political, security, economic and health crisis, the Iraqi politician must develop his thought and renew his affiliation and commitment to serving his people. The points I mentioned with other presidencies and Parliament.
