Baghdad-INA

National Security Adviser Qasim Al-Araji confirmed today, Tuesday, that Iraq has sought, with thoughtful steps, to end the causes of internal extremism and achieve justice, while pointing to the transfer of 12,000 citizens from Al-Hol camp and the recovery of 3,000 terrorists from Syria.
 
Al-Araji said in a speech during the third conference to celebrate the International Day for the Prevention of Violent Extremism Leading to Terrorism, in cooperation with the United Nations Development Program and the Federal Republic of Germany, and attended by the correspondent of the Iraqi News Agency (INA): that "Iraq has been exposed during the past years to types of extremism leading to terrorism for various reasons, including a feeling of marginalization, exclusion and the absence of justice, and that respecting international laws and human rights principles are real constructive partnerships between countries and the exchange of expertise and experiences capable of helping us all to enjoy security and peace for us and for other peoples," noting that "the love of peace brings us closer and removes all causes of disagreement that lead to the outbreak of disputes and problems of estrangement, and everyone is capable of doing that."
 
He added that "Iraq has sought, through deliberate steps, to end the causes of internal extremism and achieve justice with the participation of all and through democratic elections and a civil government, far from any religious, sectarian or national pressures to activate the principle of citizenship, and with Iraq's cooperation with the United Nations and international organizations, and with friendly countries, we have reached a stage of calm and stability," indicating that "security helps development, investment and building relationships, and Iraq has been very keen not to be an arena for local and international conflicts, but rather bridges and a place for affection and ending differences."
