Wali told Gorran-affiliated media on Thursday, February 14, that they had only a few remaining disagreements with the KDP.
&ldquo;The Kurdistan Democratic Party is content with Gorran&rsquo;s reform program.&rdquo;
&ldquo;We emphasized [the importance of] drafting aGorran good constitution that has buy-in from all parties and sides and that strengthens institutions,&rdquo; Wali was qouted by NRT as saying.
Wali also said that that Gorran told the KDP that they wanted a tripartite meeting that included the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK).
&ldquo;Gorran believes that reform more easily accomplished inside the government than outside it. We are supposed to meet with the Kurdistan Democratic Party again this coming Tuesday,&rdquo; he added.
