Having taken cognizance of the Russian Federation's keenness to develop its cooperative relations with the Organization of the Islamic Conference

The Government of the Republic of Iraq has undertaken this position out of its honour and respect of the general agreement among the Regional Groups and out of its keenness to maintain the fortunately existing cordial relations with the African States.

There will be no more weapons on the street or in our cities and camps We will use force against anyone who tries to trigger internal fighting Some have mistaken our keenness to preserve national unity as a sign of weakness.

The Conference strongly reaffirmed its keenness on Iraq's sovereignty, territorial integrity, national unity and political independence and to be ruled by its own people through a broad based, all inclusive and fully representative government, in conformity with a nationally endorsed permanent constitution.
