We must honestly reformulate our party's policy.

This forum will be a reason for reconciling PUK and its followers.

We need a clear vision. People are waiting on us to join them with a clear vision.

We need to have a policy for some issues such as environmental issues including sandstorm facing the world and Kurdistan now.

People are waiting on the PUK because they know it is the PUK that can do reform, can lead this nation and end autocracy in Kurdistan

PUK forum is a real step for reform and renewal, and to reformulate new and modern policy.

As PUK, we have own policy and we will not behind any party or country.

The PUK should have a vision for gender equality. The PUK must have a policy for women.

Despite the separation of some leaders from the PUK, the PUK was able to stand on its own feet.

The Forum must bring the PUK closer to the masses.

We work to review the policies of the PUK and restore the confidence of citizens and voters, carry out reform and work on developing our party and institutional work.
