克里在巴黎討論伊拉克問題
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is continuing his focus on the crisis in Iraq as he meets Thursday in Paris with his counterparts from Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
The State Department says the talks will include both the security situation in Iraq and the civil war in neighboring Syria.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's on Wednesday decided not to form an emergency government to help the country out of its crisis. Mr. Maliki said such a move would go against the country's constitution and the results of Iraq's April 30 parliamentary elections.
The Prime Minister's stance provided little comfort for thousands trying to outrun the militants. One of them said: "The security situation now is zero. We've seen no soldiers, no army, nobody. There are no checkpoints, there is not army. We haven't seen officials at all. So we left our stuff, our beds, our money."
In Brussels, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told reporters at a NATO meeting that the U.S. is interested in who leads Iraq, but is not interfering as Baghdad forms a new government. Kerry said: "We need to remember that ISIL is a terrorist army that threatens not only Iraq, but threatens every country in the region which is opposed to it, and Europe and the United States. Succeeding in this fight is going to require Iraqis to come together finally, in order to form an inclusive government
The U.N's special representative in Iraq, Nickolay Mladenov, believes the international community has a greater influence in resolving the conflict. He said: "The risk of further sectarian or sectarianization of the conflict remains, however, I think the more the international community is aware of that risk, the more that risk is mitigated
Mr. Maliki's Shi'ite-led government has faced criticism of sidelining the minorities and breeding sectarian tensions. The militants from the al-Qaida breakaway group called the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant have seized vast areas across northern and western Iraq.
The United States is sending up to 300 military advisers to help Iraq counter the militants.美國國務卿克里星期四在巴黎會見約旦、沙特阿拉伯和阿拉伯聯合酋長國的外長，繼續努力解決伊拉克危機問題。
美國國務院說，會談內容包括伊拉克安全局勢及其鄰國敘利亞的內戰問題。
伊拉克總理馬利基星期三表態拒絕組建一個緊急狀態政府。他說，此舉將違反伊拉克憲法，而且不符合4月30日議會選舉的結果。
這個立場令逃離激進分子攻勢的伊拉克人感到不安。其中一人說：“根本談不上安全局勢。 激進分子向哈穆迪亞發射火箭炮彈，當地人都逃走了。我們看不到任何軍隊， 沒有崗哨，沒有軍隊，也沒有當官的。 我們只好扔下一切財產，扔下我們的傢俱和錢財， 跑了出來。”
美國國務卿克里在布魯塞爾的北約會議上說， 美國關心誰出面領導伊拉克，但美國在伊拉克組建新政府之際不會進行干預。克里國務卿說：“我們要記住，‘伊拉克和黎凡特伊斯蘭國’是恐怖主義軍隊，他們不僅威脅到伊拉克，而且威脅到中東地區反對他們的每個國家， 威脅到歐洲和美國。要打贏這場戰鬥， 伊拉克人必須最終團結起來，組成一個包容性政府。”
聯合國駐伊拉克特別代表姆拉登諾夫認爲國際社會在解決伊拉克危機方面有很大影響力。
聯合國伊拉克特別代表姆拉登諾夫說：“伊拉克衝突有可能進一步宗派化，但是我認爲國際社會對這個危險瞭解的越多，這個危險就越小。 ”
有人批評馬利基政府排斥少數派，造成宗派緊張關係。從基地組織分離出來的伊拉克和黎凡特伊斯蘭國激進組織已攻佔了伊拉克北部和西部的大片地區。
美國宣佈向伊拉克派遣300名軍事顧問，幫助伊拉克打擊激進分子。
