Brussels, 02/06/2004 (Agence Europe) - Richard Armitage, US Deputy Secretary of State who was on visit to Brussels on Wednesday, said he was convinced most requests and points of view expressed by members of the United Nations Security Council on the subject of the draft resolution on Iraq currently on the table would be heard. "We believe that we are able first of all in the resolution to accommodate the requests and views of most of the 15 members of the Security Council", Mr Armitage said during a press conference after his meeting with the EU High Representative for CFSP, Javier Solana. Mr Armitage affirmed that relations between the US-led multinational force and the Iraqi interim government would be specified in the resolution, as well as in a "series of letters" to be exchanged between the Iraqi prime minister designate, the Security Council and the United States. The US Deputy Secretary of State also pointed out that the resolution would provide for review of the mandate of the multinational force deployed in Iraq after one year, or even sooner if the Iraqi government so requests. To the question of whether the Iraqi authorities would veto a military operation or not take part, the US official replied: "Of course, if you have a sovereign government, it must be able to refuse". "It is the kind of thing that is settled on the ground", Mr Armitage added. Javier Solana, who welcomed the formation of a new interim Iraqi government, also expressed the hope that the UN resolution on transfer of sovereignty in Iraq would be unanimously approved. "I hope very very much that the Security Council resolution will be approved, if possible unanimously, so that the government will have the legitimacy needed to move the country forward to stability" and convene elections as soon as possible, Mr Solana said on Tuesday in The Hague, where he held talks with the Prime Minister and Defence Minster.
