Nickolay Mladenov, the United Nations Secretary-General Special Representative for Iraq, visits a Iraqi refugee camp on the outskirts of Arbil in Iraq's Kurdistan region June 14, 2014.
The U.N. special envoy to Iraq said on Saturday the country could plunge into chaos if its divided parliament fails to move forward on forming a government in its next session set for Sunday.
Nickolay Mladenov called on all lawmakers to attend the session.
Lack of progress on choosing the top three government posts - president, prime minister, and speaker - "will only serve the interests of those who seek to divide the people of Iraq and destroy their chances for peace and prosperity," he said in a statement.
