"This crisis must be resolved," said parliament speaker Saad al-Katatni. "We have a lot of work ahead of us, including (reforming) the panel on the constitution. We have no wish to hamper parliament, but we need a solution, and that's why I propose that parliamentary sessions be suspended for a week."
