Proceeding contribution from Baroness Amos (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 21 February 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq and the Middle East.
Iraq and the Middle East
My Lords, I have not read that book. I know that there are a number of debates and discussions about whether autonomous sectarian regions should be created within Iraq. Our view is that that would lead to increased conflict. All 18 provinces and many cities of Iraq, including Baghdad, have mixed ethnic and religious communities which have lived in close proximity, largely peacefully, for decades. It is important that that continues and that we work with the Iraqi Government to sustain it.
