Then he wished all the success for the Council members in their work, and set the cooperation with everyone and the sincere work to be as their first goal.

   Mr. Amir Goga thanked Father Kamal for his words, and said that he with his brothers in the Parliament, are working to serve our people in our homeland, so as to provide services and security for them, and to fulfill their rights, especially after the recent events of Zakho.
