The MP, Alia Nassif called on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to submit a memorandum of reservation to the Security Council regarding the negotiations between Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Iran on the demarcation of the borders due to al-Dorra gas field, stressing that the (basic) maritime borders of Iraq make it a partner in al-Dorra field.

She said in a statement today: “Iraq was previously subjected to great injustice through the blind implementation of international resolutions after 1991, especially Resolution 833, just as al-Dorra gas field, according to the oldest maps (before 1982), is located within the (economic zone) of Iraq if we calculate 12 miles towards it from (Al-Amaya port and Al-Basra port) regions, but they cut off our sea extension.”

She added: "The negotiations that Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are seeking to conduct with Iran to demarcate the borders without involving Iraq is a foul for us and a blow to the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which did not move a finger, although the issue falls within its responsibilities."

Nassif stressed, "The need for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to break its silence and submit a memorandum of reservation to the Security Council, at least to record our position and to prove our right in the future, noting that the memorandum of reservation is not a serious thing that causes embarrassment to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the officials and diplomats who have strong relations with Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Iran."
