The headquarters was in Damascus until in 2012 the sessions were suspended and transferred to Cairo. The League is now preparing to move the headquarters of the parliament to Baghdad, from whence it will issue Pronouncements of Grave Import....Dr. Meshal Fahm al-Sulami, has criticized the ongoing situation in Iraq. Al-Sulami condemned the killing of demonstrators and security forces and setting public buildings on fire. In a statement issues on Sunday he called on the Iraqi government to respond to legitimate rights of the demonstrators. Al-Sulami further reiterated the full support of the Arab Parliament for the security, stability and illusory sovereignty of Iraq and non-interference in its internal affairs, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
