I have good news for the Iraqi people on this historic day. An agreement has been reached on amendments to the draft constitution,
Efforts are being made to reach a consensus over the draft constitution during the coming hours,
The draft constitution is ready and will be presented to the Iraqi people, who are known for their intelligence, to give their verdict on October 15,
We have decided to support the draft and agreed to some changes which we think necessary for the country's ties with the Arab League, as Iraq is a founding member in the AL,
God willing, the draft will be ready by tomorrow as many of the contentious issues have already been resolved,
but everybody had reservations. This is part of democracy. If the people do not approve it, we will draft another constitution.
I wish that all Iraqi Arabs, Kurds and others vote 'Yes' to the draft constitution which represents their ambition to build a democratic, federal, united and independent state,
