A part of the speech is given in the Arabic sentences on the right of the picture. The translation of the paragraph is : We paid visits to embassies of more than 30 countries. However, none of them gave any accurate information about the number of Circassian population in Iraq. When we paid a visit to the Russian Ambassador in Iraq Jafil Hasan, he said they do not have any information on Dagestanis who immigrated to Iraq, but that hundreds of Circassians served within the Iraqi army. According to the official figures, approximately 15 thousand Circassians live in Iraq. Circassians living in Iraq settled in southern Erbil, Zaho, and Duhok.” 21 The translation of the Arabic sentence under the Emblem is: “One for all, all for one” ORSAM Report No: 134, November 2012 25
