Official statement by Mr. Zalmay Khalilzad:

“There has been a lot of dialogue and panic and pain between the Iraqis after the announcement of the Kurdistan decree No. 60 on the question of the Iraqi flag.

Article 12 of the Iraqi Constitution on the map of the road relating to the flag of Iraq stipulates any decision on Iraqi national symbols to be taken by the Iraqi people as a whole through the established constitutional procedures. The United States supports these procedures and confirms once again its commitment to Iraq's unity and territorial integrity and sovereignty.

God bless the people of Iraq.”
