ERBIL - Iraqi leader Ammar al-Hakim, head of Hikma Party, has called for the resolution of the remaining disputes between Erbil and Baghdad, warning that it may affect Iraq's unity if the issues are not addressed.

Hakim made the comments during a a speech on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr where he pointed out that the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and Iraqi government have to work on improving their relations.

He further warned of worse situation if the two sides don't jointly attempt to resolve the issues between Erbil and Baghdad.

Disagreements between the Kurdistan Region and Iraq began to arise in 2003, right after the former Iraqi Baath regime was toppled. The implementation of article 140 from the Iraqi Constitution has been a prolonged demand by Erbil.
