In an interview with ICANA on Tuesday, Nadimi said, "Being aware of the developments in Syria, the Iraqi people will continue to support the legitimate government of Nouri al-Maliki."
"Iraq is a multiethnic state and various ethnic and religious groups including the Shias, Sunnis and Kurds are living in the country without any problem."
"However, the Western governments and their Arab allies are trying to fuel the sectarian disputes by accusing the government of Maliki of supporting Shias and marginalizing others," he added.
