"Mr President, Mr President-in-Office, thank you for your reply. It was most interesting. You say that the situation is unclear and that there is a political and military vacuum. In other words, that Iraq does not control its northern area. Now, forgive me Mr President-in-Office, but Iraq does not control its northern area because we do not let it and perhaps we are right not to. But even if we do not let Iraq control its northern area, that does not mean that we have to put up with its being controlled by someone else. What I am hearing is quite absurd. I imagine that you are unable to defend whoever it is who takes the decisions there. Except that, of course, they include members of the European Union.
Perhaps they could inform you of what is happening in the area and tell you, for example, why they are allowing other people to go into and take control of the northern area of Iraq, which they do not allow Iraq to control, i.e. – let us not beat about the bush – why are they allowing military invasion? I think that this situation is scandalous in every sense of the word from an international and political point of view and I wonder how you tolerate it."@en1
