Baghdad - INA
The Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) on Saturday called on political forces represented in the Kurdistan Parliament to expedite the activation of the legislature and leave the task of resolving disputes to MPs inside the parliament.
In a statement received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), KDP said that "the continuation of the current situation in the Kurdistan Region places a national, patriotic and moral responsibility on all parties to swiftly find solutions."
The KDP urged political forces, regardless of the size of their representation, to activate parliament, open dialogue within the legislature and abide by the decisions adopted by the Parliament.
It added that MPs bear responsibility for conducting a productive dialogue under the parliament dome to reach appropriate solutions, after meetings, delegations, visits and exchanges of messages failed to achieve the desired results.
The statement noted that, since the announcement of the results of the sixth parliamentary elections in the Kurdistan Region, the party has led multiple efforts aimed at activating constitutional institutions. These included dialogue with political forces, the presentation of various initiatives and scenarios, as well as bilateral and multilateral contacts, messages and meetings, with the aim of electing the region's presidency and forming the tenth cabinet.
The KDP said these efforts, carried out with the participation and oversight of party leader Masoud Barzani, had not received "the required positive response and stance," arguing that the continuation of the current deadlock serves no party and harms the Kurdistan Region, its political experience and its achievements.
