The legitimate governor of Kirkuk, Najmadin Karim had not taken part in any official political events since October 16, last year when the Iraqi army in coordination with the pro-Iranian Shi'ite militias of Hashd al-Shaabi overran the disputed territories and forced anyone who had supported the referendum out of the area.
The Kurdish envoy said in a statement on his Facebook feed that a number of Kurdish political organizations' representatives alongside Karim were attending the Monday's conference.
Kurdistan Region held the referendum on September 25, last year in which 93% of Kurdish people voted "yes", but the move received an overreaction from the federal government and other neighboring countries.
