Iraq against economic sanctions on Syria
Iraq condemns the introduction of economic sanctions on Syria.They will affect regular people rather than the country's government, Iraq's PM Nouri al-Maliki said
"We say no to economic sanctions on any country. Sanctions punish not regimes, but peoples," Iraq's Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said.
Last week, EU and the United States tightened economic sanctions on Syria, as the UN said more than 4000 people have died in the ongoing crackdown on protesters.
