lpv:translated text	"The mutual damage inflicted across the Atlantic over the past few days has benefited neither the Iraqi population nor international security. In fact, only the current terror regime in Baghdad stands to gain from it. And then we talk about a potential neighbour of the European Union, in view of Turkey’s candidate status. This political option prompts me to put a couple of questions to the Greek Presidency. Has the Council resigned itself to the domestic status quo in Iraq – with all the dangerous consequences this could entail for the nation and the region; or is the Council striving for a better internal and external perspective for Iraq, actively involving Iraq’s very diverse opposition? Sooner or later, a new policy of containment towards Saddam Hussein will do the international community, and therefore the European Union, too, serious harm. My second question concerns Turkey’s position with regard to the Kurds in northern Iraq. I presume that Turkey, too, has been invited to next Monday's European crisis deliberations on Iraq. According to international press reports, the candidate countries are also receiving an invitation. Is the Council also intending to raise the Kurdish question, a crucial factor in the Iraq crisis, with Turkey at these deliberations? I assume, Mr President, that the Council is not divided on conserving Iraq’s territorial integrity!"@en1
