The Federal Court in Iraq settled an internal Kurdish dispute regarding the election law in the Iraqi Kurdistan region. Representatives of the region's components, which are "Chaldean, Assyrian, Turkmen, and Syriac," objected to the court's decision in a joint statement.

These components considered the decision a “coup against the Iraqi constitution,” and demanded the head of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Masoud Barzani, not to accept “this injustice,’ according to the statement.
