Thus a Kurdish parliament was established in Erbil which formed a federal government and the legal system began to work. This was considered the biggest achievement of the Kurdish people and a brave democratic experiment in the Middle East.
During the past years parliament has passed several important laws regarding administration, political parties, the press, the economy, the culture, society and etc.after some lively discussions.

popular attention and respect. The Kurdish parliament establish relations with many other
parliaments in the world, almost every foreign delegation to Kurdistan visited the Kurdish
parliament in Erbil.
