Following the Iraqi Council of Representatives elections on May 12, 2018, there have emerged a number of observations on the elections and the subsequent results and the possibility of a new opportunity through which the issues may be resolved,  It is therefore very imperative that the focus should be on the principles of partnership, consensus, and balance and not as in the previous phases where one side determines the fate of an entire country. In accordance with these three principles, we are seriously attempting to reach a common ground and it is our sincere hope that abidance by those principles will resolve the issues between Erbil and Baghdad and the other political issues in Iraq.
