It is a sad time for PUK supporters

I think that is partly due to lack of information about Talabani's health - which I suspect is really bad or they would have been able to take a photo of him to encourage his party

I am not happy with the Gorran Movement winning so many seats

I cannot understand why anyone would vote for them especially now when it is extremely important for the people of Kurdistan to work together

If Kurds fail to unit there is lightly to be an upsurge in violence spreading into Kurdistan from Iraq

People who voted for PUK before would have never voted for KDP. So they did choice Gorran because, at least they are sure that Nawshirwan is alive…
