ERBIL — A member of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) faction in the Iraqi parliament stated that the majority of Shia and Sunni parties are not in favor of canceling the decisions of the former Iraqi Ba'ath regime related to land occupation in Kurdish cities and towns.

Sherwan Dubardani, a member of the KDP faction in the Iraqi Council of Representatives, told Kurdistan 24 on Sunday that Kurdish parties in the Iraqi parliament insist on canceling the Ba'athist decisions.

The Iraqi parliamentarian noted that most Shia and Sunni parties oppose the cancellation of Ba'ath decisions concerning land occupation in Kurdish areas.

"The Shia parties want the cancellation of decisions that affect their regions," he stated.

The Iraqi parliament met on Sunday, to vote on several controversial and important issues, including the general amnesty bill, the amendment bill to the 1959 Personal Status Law, the bill to annul the decisions of the former Iraqi Supreme Revolutionary Council, the return of occupied properties to their owners, and the pension bill for Hashd al-Shaabi militants.

Meanwhile, Iraqi parliament acting Speaker Mohsen Al-Mandalawi initially postponed the vote on the bills but later adjourned the session indefinitely due to disagreements among lawmakers over the personal status amendment bills, the cancellation of former Iraqi regime decisions, and the pension for pro-Iranian militia groups known as Hashd al-Shaabi.

Shwan Kalari, deputy chairman of the Martyrs and Political Prisoners Committee in the Iraqi parliament, told Kurdistan 24 that there are still MPs in the Iraqi parliament who openly support the decisions of the Ba'ath regime.

"The Kurdish areas outside the Kurdistan Region should be returned to their rightful owners," Kalari added.
