SULAIMANI — The head
of the New Generation Movement (NGM) bloc in the Kurdistan parliament, Kawa
Abdulqadir, said on Tuesday (May 17) the NGM believes parliament sessions should
resume as soon as possible.
Abdulqadir said the
presidency of the Kurdistan parliament met on Tuesday to discuss ways to resume
sessions and made a decision for the presidency and heads of parliament blocs
to meet on Wednesday to discuss the same issue.
He stated there were
many important subjects directly related to public welfare and it was important
for parliament to hold a stance on elections, adding the polls would be
meaningful and could lead to radical change.
Sessions of parliament
were suspended nearly two months ago for no apparent reason. The Kurdistan Region’s
two main parties, the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and the Patriotic Union
of Kurdistan (PUK), have both traded accusations over the halt to sessions.
The KDP accused the PUK
of responsibility for the issue while the PUK alleged the KDP was attempting to
dominate the government.
Abdulqadir said if
there were no obstacles in the way, parliament sessions could begin as early as
next week.
