Former PM Allawi: I Will Do Everything To Make

Iraq

Non-Sectarian (Political/Government) [¨Asharq Al Awsat Newspaper] (28 AUG)

Summary: Former Iraqi PM, Ayad Allawi has stated that he has paid $300,000 to an American company that specializes in public relations in order promote his point of view for patriotic and non-sectarian Iraqis. Allawi added that he is looking forward to changing the Iraqi government. Late last night, during an interview with the CNN show, “Late Edition, Allawi confirmed the reports that he paid a $300,000 fee for the last six months to the company Barber, Griffith, and Rogers to assist him in promoting his point of view.

According to Radio Sawa, Allawi said that he has lost faith in Nuri Al Maliki’s government because it has established a sectarian project that will destroy the Iraqi people and the region. This will cause the failure of the American mission. Allawi added, “I do not believe that this government can take any steps toward reconciliation, eliminate militias, or develop any external policy to stop Iran from interfering in Iraq’s affairs. That is why I believe that the US should reconsider its strategy and look to achieve real reconciliation. We are looking forward to changing this sectarian regime to building a country that all Iraqis will be satisfied with, which is away from sectarian and religious ideas.”

It is worthy to mention that Allawi was the interim PM from June 2004 to after the 2005 election.
