Iraqi And Kurdish Forces Agree To Pause Fighting : The Two-Way This has the potential to open the door for talks, after Iraqi forces moved to wrest territory from the Kurds, including the oil-rich city of Kirkuk.

Iraqi and Kurdish forces have agreed to temporarily pause their fighting.

Earlier this week, the Kurdish regional government offered to freeze its bid for independence, an offer the Iraqi government did not accept.

Abadi said in a statement that he halted troop movements for 24 hours to allow for discussions about deploying federal Iraqi forces to disputed areas and the international border.

One of the areas that Abadi said the forces will focus on is the Fish-Khabur area, which the Kurdish Rudaw network says is a point "Located within undisputed Kurdistan Region territory where it borders Turkey and Syria."

The fighting that erupted earlier this month in areas that were under Kurdish control has displaced more than 160,000 civilians, according to Kurdish regional authorities.
