15 MPs from PUK, New Generation Movement, Komela Islami, Yekgirtu and Goran Movement submitted a petition to the Kurdistan Regional Parliamentary Presidency to hold a session on the invasion attacks by the Turkish state against Bashur (South Kurdistan).

Signatory New Generation Movement MP Mem Burhan Qanih said, “If we can hold the parliamentary session, we will call on the Iraqi central government and Kurdistan regional government to uphold their independence. This is a national, legal and humane responsibility. The regional parliament must fulfill its duty. We hope these protests produce results.”

The Parliamentary Presidential Council will have to determine a date for the session in 14 days.
