Hussein urges peaceful dialogue
NICOSIA. Cyprus (AP) — Iraq's Saddam
Hussein asked Sunday that a peaceful dialogue
replace "threats and warnings" to resolve the
Persian Gulf crisis, departing from his confronta
tional position in the standoff with the West.
In a message to the Arab and Islamic masses,
he said he wanted to launch a dialogue with
France to explore the possibility of using Presi
dent Francois Mitterrand's ideas on the crisis as
the basis for a settlement
He urged his 1 million-member army to re
main ready to fight any foreign attempt to drive
Iraqi forces from Kuwait. But — in another depar
ture from past speeches not once in almost 45
minutes did he renew his pledge never to relin
quish the emirate he seized two months ago.
Saddam's message was read over state televi
sion and radio by announcer Miqdad Murad and
monitored in Nicosia.
The backdrop behind Murad alternated be
tween a portrait of Saddam in a Western suit and
one of him in military uniform praying in front of
a picture of minarets
The message marked the birthday of the 7th
century Prophet Mohammed and was punctuated
by lengthy recitations from the Koran, Islam's
holy book.
Saddam said reducing tensions could begin
"if dialogue replaces the policy of threats and
warnings, if the language of peaceful politics re
places the policy of troop buildups and threats of
the use of force.”
He withdrew his previous opposition to the
involvement of foreign powers in the search of a
settlement to the dispute.
"Should the international community be in
volved in a solution to the crisis, then the empha
sis should be on the initiative of Aug. 12, 1990.
which underlined that . . . peace could not be
achieved without the settlement of all the prob
lems of the region,” he said.
In earlier statements, he rejected any outside
involvement, insisting the problem was for Arabs
to resolve.
Saddam said. "Withdrawal of foreign forces
from the lands of Najd and Hejaz (Saudi Arabia)
and the Arabian Gulf, and ending the blockade of
Iraq, is a slogan for all Arabs and believers to
raise."
Hut he did not repeat an earlier threat to dis
lodge these troops from the region by force.
