Baghdad: Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani stressed that if there is a country that deserves to celebrate democracy, it is Iraq.

The Prime Minister asserted that democracy in Iraq has succeeded and is recognized by all countries of the world. He noted that the government has worked to support all the freedoms guaranteed by the constitution.
