A spokesperson for Gorran (Change) Movement invited the parties to gather for dialogue in order to break through the current "suffocating" political crisis in Iraq.
The current crisis is "suffocating, really grave and dangerous," said Mohamed Tofiq.

Tofiq added the situation requires understanding and dialogue by sitting at the table of discussion.

Gorran official criticized the political parties for focusing on media as the means for announcing their attempts to settle the crisis.

They should rather sit at the table of discussion and announce their efforts and ideas for solving the crisis there, Tofiq said.

Issuance of an arrest warrant for Iraqiya List leader, Vice President Tareq Hashemi over terrorism charges, sacking the deputy PM Saleh al-Mutlag, who is also an Iraqiya leader, and the disputes between Erbil and Baghdad over oil have all created a crisis in the country.

A number of proposals for settling the crisis are addressed.

Kurds, Iraqiya and Sadr Current demand Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to give up ruling. Leaders of these forces held Maliki responsible for the crisis due to his "dictatorship."

Kurds and Iraqiya MPs failed in shoring up enough support in a signature campaign to oust Maliki. Now they are preparing for interrogating the PM over "constitutional violations."

The PM himself has proposed dissolving the current House of Representatives and staging early elections.
