The Greek government on Wednesday expressed hope that the upcoming Iraqi
elections will lead the war-torn country to a democratic society.
"The Greek government, as it watches with particular interest the Iraqi
people trying to establish a democratic society, hopes that the upcoming
elections will constitute an important step in that direction," said Foreign
Ministry Spokesman George Koumoutsakos.
"We hope that the government elected will fulfill the need for a united,
prosperous and democratic Iraq in accordance with the UNframework and spirit,"
he added.
