SULAIMANIYAH,
Kurdistan region 'Iraq', — A deputy from the main
Kurdish opposition Gorran Party denied requesting
talks with the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG)’s
president Massoud Barzani over the bloc’s claims to
ministerial posts in the federal government.
MP Shayan Saeid told AKnews that although she
supports inter-party dialogue in the Kurdish
parliament, Gorran depends only on their voters when
making political, economic and social decisions.
Recent media reports stated that the Gorran Party
were to enter into negotiations with the leadership
of the ruling Kurdish Democratic Party (KDP) in the
Kurdish parliament over federal ministerial
positions the bloc claimed the electoral right to
hold.

Shaein said that Gorran
would not discuss the bloc’s non-allocation of
federal ministries with the Kurdish President, but
rather address the Iraqi PM Nouri al-Maliki and the
ruling National Coalition (NC) who were assigned the
role of forming the federal government.
Gorran emerged in regional elections in 2009 as a
rival to the two main ruling Kurdish parties and won
25 seats in the parliament. Gorran is challenging
Talabani's PUK (Patriotic Union of Kurdistan), and
the KDP (Kurdistan Democratic Party), of regional
president Massoud Barzani and accuses the parties of
corruption.
It’s headed by the former senior PUK-leader
Nawshirwan Mustafa, who was Talabani’s deputy until
2007. Since the July 2009 elections in which it
secured almost a third of the seats of 111-member
Parliament of Kurdistan.
