        Regarding the Turkish incursion and the breach of Iraqi sovereignty according to real justifications, Sayyid Ammar al-Hakim indicated that Turkey in its stubbornness to invade Iraqi territories has made itself isolated from the world. In effect, no state upheld this act including NATO countries in which Turkey is a member and even those who were kept silent, their silent was an evidence of refusal and not of rejection. He also described the Turkish stubbornness as a serious indicator in terms of the quality of the act, indicating that the attitude from it is related to the sovereignty of the country and to the responsibility of everyone to defend that country. As for the Islamic alliance, it is nothing more than a pressure paper in negotiating files as disruption suffers from the structure and the multiplicity of leaders.

His Eminence indicated that the National Alliance has a good relationship among its members and what it only needs is the coordination of visions and the organization of meetings, calling upon the political blocs to continue the meetings among them as they are capable of solving the disputes and unifying the efforts.
