Speaking with Al-Sumaria News Agency Shawan Raber said the region experienced a lot of political, economic and social problems last year as a result of the October referendum, adding that if the climate continues there will be a political collapse.

Stressing that the living condition of the people is hard and that the rate of poverty and unemployment is increasing, he said this situation has affected the unity between the Kurdish political parties and has stopped them from forming a joint election list.

"Kurdish people are dissatisfied with the current situation in the Kurdistan region, so parliamentary election is a good opportunity to make changes in the political map of the region," Raber added.
