Peshmerga return to Kirkuk point of disagreement between Sadr, Kurds

An Iraqi lawmaker from the cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's Sa'eroun Alliance, has revealed that they have disagreements with the two major Kurdish parties, the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) over the return of the Peshmerga forces to Kirkuk province.

The Kurdish factions have already made every effort to make the return of the Peshmerga fighters to the Kurdish disputed city possible, while the Iraqi sides have always objected on that, BasNews reported.
The Sa'eroun MP, however, said that they had very similar common opinions with the Kurdish political parties during the meetings, but the only thing that the sides have not been able to agree on so far is the issue of the Kurdish armed forces, as reported by Kurdistan 24.
Concerning the new prime minister of Iraq, they have given the Kurds two options, re-electing the current premier, Haider al-Abadi, or the Iraqi Minister of Youth and Sports, Abdul-Hussein Abtaan, the news agency added.
The Kurds have already said that they have no issues with anyone as long as he would show readiness to accept the conditions of the Kurdish political parties.
