Baghdad-INA 

The head of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, Bafel Talabani, stressed today, Sunday, the necessity of implementing the articles of the constitution to resolve any disputes between Baghdad and Kurdistan Region, noting at the same time that the demonstrations in Sulaymaniyah are a right for citizens due to concerns about salaries.
 
Talabani said during his participation in the activities of the Baghdad Dialogue Conference, which was attended by a correspondent for the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "The demonstrations in Sulaymaniyah are a right for citizens, because there is concern about salaries," explaining that "we do not want to arrest any of the protesters, and we as a government in the region must bear responsibility."
 
He added that "Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani stressed the necessity of localizing salaries."
 
Talabani stressed the necessity for Baghdad and the Kurdistan Region to work in parallel, stressing that "Kurdistan Regional Government is part of Iraq, and the articles of the constitution must be implemented to resolve any disputes," noting that "if the articles of the constitution are not implemented, the disputes will remain."
