Ali Larijani received Iraq's Interior Minister Mohammed Salem al-Ghabban on Monday. Larijani stressed the importance of protecting Iraq’s territorial integrity, believing that some countries in the region had waged attempts to disintegrate Iraq; “maintaining a united Iraq as an important Islamic country is a strategic objective of the Islamic Republic of Iran; the only way to fight terrorism in Iraq is to promote national solidarity and establishing public volunteer groups along the Iraqi army,” Larijani said.
