PanARMENIAN.Net – Iraq intends to open its diplomatic missions and
embassies in Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Armenia,
Iraqi ambassador to Kazakhstan and Tajikistan Sabir Raja Abboud
al-Moussaoui said.
“I wrote a letter to the leadership of Iraqi Foreign Ministry on
the necessity to establish diplomatic relations with Uzbekistan,
Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia and opening our embassies and
missions there,” Trend.az quotes Abboud al-Moussaoui as saying.
He said restoration of relations with other Central Asian republics
is necessary, as these countries have a common historical and cultural
community with Iraq.
“Khorezm, Bukhara, Samarkand have historical significance for Iraq. If
Muslim countries in the Middle East and Central Asia unite, then we
will become a major economic force,” he said.
