Iraq backs Syria’s return to the Arab League
2019-01-04
[ALMASDARNEWS] Iraqi top diplomat Mohammed Alhakim has confirmed the country’s support for Syria’s return to the Arab League
...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing...
, in a statement quoted by the Foreign Ministry.

"Iraq supports the unity of Syria and its return to its normal position in the Arab world and the region and the restoration of its position in the vaporous Arab League," the Twitter post read.

The Iraqi foreign minister added that Baghdad wanted to see border crossings reopened between the two neighbors to stimulate trade.

The statement comes after Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
, seen as Syria’s rival in the group, said last week it did not mind the Middle-Eastern state’s return to the Arab League, followed by the UAE’s decision to reopen the embassy in Damascus.
Syria’s membership of the 22-nation League was suspended in 2011 in the wake of the Arab Spring uprisings.
