Baghdad

Will decide to continue boycott or resign – Change Movement

ARBIL / IraqiNews.com: Kurdish opposition members announced that they will boycott the Kurdish Parliament‘s sessions and will decide their position, either to resign or continue their boycott.   Change Movement MP Jaffar Ali told IraqiNews.com that three MPs sent a letter to the parliament presidency informing of their non-participation in the sessions.   Change Movement MP members denied that they have submitted their resignation, but stressed their boycott of the sessions.   The reasons for boycotting were due to the Sulaimaniya province incidents, which led to a political crisis in the region.   Demonstrators demanded political reforms and eradication of corruption and unemployment.   On Wednesday, the third meeting was held between the opposition and the main ruling parties to find resolution to the crisis, without announcing any details on the results of the meeting, as they did in the first and second ones.
