Kurdish coalition suggests urgent meeting instead of national conference
Mohsen Saadun said: "We'll send an invitation to all the political blocs for holding an urgent meeting for political forces in case the national conference is cancelled.
"The national interest requires holding an urgent meeting," he added, stating that the KBC has not decided on the formalities for such a meeting.
It has been more than two months since a committee of 12 MPs began mulling over a common agenda for the national conference called by Iraqi President Jalal Talabani.
The gathering was initially proposed to settle disputes and accusations between the major players the National Alliance and Iraqiya List. Recently however there have been suggestions to include proposals in the agenda of the meeting for replacing Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
The news comes as Kurdistan President Massoud Barzani concluded his 24-day trip abroad yesterday. Barzani once more called on political leaders to meet shortly before he began trip to the US, Bulgaria, Hungary and Turkey.
During his meetings with senior officials he voiced his concerns over the recurrence of a "new dictatorship" in Iraq.
