Iraq on Sunday slammed the Arab League’s decision to suspend Syria as unacceptable

Iraq on Sunday slammed the Arab League's decision to suspend Syria as unacceptable.
  
"Suspending Syria's membership in the Arab League came in an unacceptable way," Iraq government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said on Iraqiya television.
  
Iraq was the only country to abstain from the Saturday vote to suspend Syria's membership in the Arab League.
  
Yemen, Lebanon and Syria voted against the decision while eighteen countries voted in favor of Syria's suspension from the pan-Arab body. "This decision was not taken against other countries that have bigger crisis than the Syrian crisis," said Dabbagh.

"The stability and security of Syria is important to Iraq, and the Iraqi government has called its Syrian counterpart to dialogue with the opposition, and to carry out the requested reforms. "We want complete freedom for (Syrians), but not in this forced way that moves the Syrian issue ... to internationalization," he said. "This issue is very dangerous."
