ERBIL, Kurdistan Region -- The current gridlock in parliament over President Masoud Barzani's term in office, which ended Thursday, has many Kurds remembering the crippling party rivalries that have hampered politics in the Kurdistan region.
"They should unite, I hope these political parties end their tensions and get together as soon as possible," one Kurdish observer told Rudaw.
Many Kurds feel the parties are working at cross purposes, rather than the good of the region.
"Everything has been made clear by law, but each party has a different interpretation of the laws," said an Erbil resident.
Meetings are continuing between the main parties, but until an agreement is reached, the region is technically without a leader.
