We are ready to work with Iraq in the fight against the fight against All terrorist organizations, regardless of their name, whether it is the RKK or Daesh, which are aimed at the territorial integrity and political unity of Iraq. They commit crimes against humanity, violate stability and impede the prosperity of Iraq. “
