"For us, the project of the new prime minister will be more important than individuals. If there is no change in the status of Kirkuk and Turkmeneli region with the unity and solidarity of Iraq in that project, we will support that prime minister. If the Shiite parties that determine the prime minister come to an agreement, we will start negotiations with the candidate for the prime minister. Mustafa al-Kazimi" "The chance to be prime minister for another term continues. There are different names mentioned for the prime ministership. We would be pleased to have Haydar al-Abadi, one of the former prime ministers, as prime minister again. Abadi had 4 years of experience and positive steps for the Turkmen."
Turan said, "We expect support from the great Turkic world, of which the Turkmen and Iraqi Turks are also a part, and from the Turkish states in order to obtain the rights of the Turkmen in Iraq." finished with his words.
