BAGHDAD: The Arab League warned against breaking down the democratic experience in Iraq, calling all political blocs "not to play denominational card to attain political gains".

In a statement to London-based Al-Sharq al-Awsat daily today, Deputy Secretary General Ahmed bin Hilli stated that the Arab League is "following closely the developments in Iraq", pointing that "what concerns the League is some negative indications in the Iraqi political scene".

He added that "Iraqi politicians should realize that denominationalism will gravely affect the unity and stability of the country and its increasing Arab role and its return to Arab politics".
