(MENAFN) On Saturday, the former President of the Kurdistan Region Masoud Barzani announced on social media that he hoped that the relations between Erbil and Baghdad will be reviewed and that a path of "mutual-benefit" would be pursued, following the official announcement of last week's Iraqi parliamentary elections, Kurdistan24 reported.

"Now that the elections for Iraq's Council of Representatives have been conducted and completed, it is my sincere hope that the Erbil-Baghdad relations will undergo a thorough review in pursuit of a mutually-beneficial path," Barzani tweeted on his official Twitter account on Saturday morning.

"After nearly a century of injustices, it is imperative that Baghdad begins to fathom our righteous cause. We find it fitting to continue, through dialogue our relations until we reach a solution. If the political entities of Kurdistan remain united, then we will succeed at protecting our people's rights," he wrote in his second tweet.
