Yusuf Matti pointed out that there is much work to be done in the Iraqi parliament. Many issues that directly concern and affect our people and the country of Iraq need to be reversed and reformed. The only place to effectively do this is in Iraqi parliament.

“Our Chaldean-Syriac-Assyrian people must unite their views, organize and close their ranks in this difficult and existential period in Iraq.”

The Chaldeans-Syriacs-Assyrians will have to speak with one voice, away from ideological dependencies that do not directly and immediately serve the interests of our, he said.
