Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) leader Masoud Barzani on Monday urged the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) to engage in direct talks with the KDP to resolve outstanding disputes and bring an end to the political deadlock in the Kurdistan Region, voicing hope for the formation of a broadly representative national government.
In a statement, Barzani said the current political developments require all parties to place the interests of the people of Kurdistan above all other considerations and political objectives.
He stressed the importance of coordinated efforts between the two parties to address their differences and overcome the ongoing crisis, calling on other political forces in the region to join the political process and work towards forming an inclusive government that responds to public needs and aspirations.
