Maliki expressed his belief that "the era of the control of one party and one community or a single person has ended," noting that "Iraq has suffered from the sanctions regime and we can not support it against any country, not only Syria because it affects the people and leave profound effects on them."

The media adviser of Prime Minister Ali al-Musawi said, that they as a government would seek "to find a solution, and that if the clashes continued, it would be harmful to all, especially the Syrian people and the Syrian state."

He added that "Prime Minister Maliki made it clear that he wants a dialogue with all parties."

The Syrian opposition did not delay their response, as Radwan Ziadeh ,the head of the Foreign Relations Syrian National Council soon announced, that "The Council had been invited by the Iraqi government to visit Baghdad," adding that "the Council is currently considering the possibility of accepting this invitation."

He confirmed that the Iranian influence in this case is clear in the Iraqi policy toward the regime of Bashar al-Assad, as he put it.

The white block counted the initiative to resolve the crisis the Syrian al-Maliki as "a step in the right direction."

A'alia Nassif in a statement reported to "Shafaq  News", said  "The Iraqi initiative will serve to end the Syrian crisis by finding a suitable formula for positive understanding between the Syrian parties instead of supporting a party at the expense of other, as did some Arab parties that failed to develop appropriate mechanisms to resolve this crisis. "

The Liberal Bloc which represents the Sadrist movement is not afraid to declare its position of refusing the change in Syria, as the MP from the bloc Jawad Alshahaily said that "The Iraqi real diplomacy began to appear at the international level as the initiative of Prime Minister of Iraq on the Syrian situation being one of the good things."

Another member of the Liberal bloc, the First Deputy Chairman of the House of Representatives Qusay al-Suhail, rejected "any Western intervention in the affairs of countries, including Syria," counting "These interventions will have negative repercussions on the situation in that country."

Observers say that any change in Syria will affect the situation in Iraq, some say the political wisdom would have been required to keep up with the Syrian people in their aspirations, especially that Syria was a conduit for insurgents who affaires armed forces in Iraq and point in this regard to the declaration of an Iraqi security high official that the reverse migration of the gunmen and weapons are from Iraq to Syria, after the wave of protests taking place in the Syrian cities .

The commander of Nineveh, Maj. Gen. Mahdi Gharrawi said in a news conference that "our intelligence confirms a reverse migration of weapons and militants from Iraq to Syria."

"Armed groups in Iraq became very weak and our intelligence has been able to penetrate them, causing them to go to Syria." He added
