Masoud Barzani, president of Kurdistan Region, held a meeting yesterday in Salahaddin resort with heads and members of Kurdistan Region fractions in Iraqi parliament.

The main theme of the meeting was to discuss the law of elections that has been agreed upon in Iraqi Parliament, and not giving specialty to Kirkuk in the forthcoming elections.

Another important aspect of the meeting was to try to persuade Iraqi government of performing general population census, and try to implement partnership and agreement principles in Iraq.

Also in the meeting, it was discussed that even thought the election laws were not what Kurds hoped for, it gave a good notion; in that the law was not passed without the Kurdish side not being present and that Kirkuk was not made a specialty.

At the end of the meeting, all the Kurdish representatives and members of the Iraqi parliament agreed that law of Federal Council and political parties should be accepted by the parliament as soon as possible.
