Majid Aziza - Canada /Translation: Atour Michael
Mr. Madloum Mrouki the representative of the Chaldean Syriac Assyrian Popular Council in Canada attended the seminar that was held by the Iraqi embassy in the Canadian capital of Ottawa on the occasion of Dr. Ibrahim Al-Jaafari, the Iraqi Foreign Minister’s visit to Canada. During the seminar, in which the Iraqi minister and other officials spoke, Mr. Mrouki demanded from the Minister that there must be an international protection and a safe area for the displaced Christians and Yezidis in the Nineveh Plain and Sinjar, so that they can return to their villages and homes after they were evicted forcibly from them by the Islamic State of Iraq (Daesh) who looted their homes and properties later. For his part, Al-Jaafari objected the presence of international forces in Iraq under the pretext of maintain Iraq's sovereignty and its control over its territory, the strange thing to notice is that the Minister smiled after saying that and then wrote down the observation in his notebook.
