US State Department: Kurdistan referendum is very disappointed and support a united Iraq
Release date: 2017/9/26 10:47 • 80 times read
{Continue: Al
Furat News} The United States expressed its "deep" disappointment of the
referendum of the Kurdistan region for separation from Iraq.
"The United States has been deeply
disappointed by the decision of the provincial government to hold a referendum
on unilateral independence and to involve the disputed areas," US State
Department spokesman Heather Naort said in a statement.
"This non-binding referendum will not affect the historic relations of the United States with the Kurdish people in the region."
"This step will increase the difficulty and instability of the region and its people," she said. "Relations between the region's administration and its neighbors and the central government will undoubtedly be affected by the referendum."
"The continuation of the war against the terrorist advocate," she said, expressing the hope that "extremist groups" would not use this process, referring to the referendum.
The US official reiterated her country's support for "a united, federal, democratic and prosperous Iraq and will continue to seek opportunities to help Iraqis achieve their aspirations within the framework of the constitution."

Kurdistan region is exposed to the first repercussions of the referendum
Editorial Date: 2017/9/26 0:11 • 1629 times read
{Continue:
Euphrates News} Some Kurdish leaders describe the referendum that took place
Monday on the independence of the Kurdistan region from Iraq as a historic
opportunity through which the Kurds can determine their fate after years of
repression.
However, there was little
enthusiasm for voting in the city of Sulaymaniyah.
According to Reuters, in the early hours of the voting did not stand long lines in front of the polling stations in the city of Sulaymaniyah, as expected from a people who dreams of a lifetime independent state.
About two hours after the polling stations opened, only a small number of people cast their votes and calm prevailed over much of Sulaymaniyah.
The sharp contrast between this calm and the celebrations in another major Kurdish city, Erbil, highlighted the divisions among the main political parties, pointing out problems waiting for the administration to handle any future state.
Some officials in the Sulaimaniya-based Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) have warned that the referendum could bring problems with Turkey and Iran and that it should have taken place at a more opportune time.
These two neighboring countries fear that the region's independence will push their Kurds to demand change, while the Iraqi government says the referendum is unconstitutional.
The Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) in Erbil insists that it is time for the Kurds to run their affairs after many years of persecution by the ousted regime and others.
Some voters questioned the intentions of KDP leaders and questioned whether they had the resources and the will to run an independent state.
In Sulaymaniyah, banners urging people to vote were few, and those who voted said they would support independence from Iraq.

Iranian parliament describes Kurdistan referendum as "grave mistake
Baghdad - Journal News
A member of the governing body of the Iranian Islamic Consultative Council, Mohammad Ashuri, criticized on Tuesday the referendum in Iraqi Kurdistan, describing it as a grave mistake.
"The referendum in Iraqi Kurdistan is a grave mistake that will damage the region," Ashuri said in a statement to Fars.
Iran has always stressed the need to preserve the national unity of neighboring countries because security in the region depends on the unity of their countries, he said.
He noted that "Iran has consistently taken the initiative to help neighboring countries during the regional crises and did not do acts stemming from sectarian and factional views."
"When terrorists arrived in the outskirts of Arbil, Iran rushed to support them in order to establish security and stability, but the current circumstances are not in the interests of any of the parties in this dangerous balance and endanger security in the region," he added.
"Iran will not bow to the conspiracies of stability in the neighborhood," he said.

The text of the speech of the Prime Minister and
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Dr. Haider Al-Abbadi during his visit to
the headquarters of joint operations
September 25, 2017
"All the villages in the east of the Tigris north of the Zab
and Zab are now completely under the control of our units and in a short time,
and God willing we exhort citizens to liberate the west of Kirkuk and all the
cities surrounding the Hawija, today we are at the same time that our troops are
fighting The referendum and the unconstitutional challenge that has taken place
will not prevent our forces from continuing the fighting. We have a priority in
this confrontation, which is to eliminate the evils and return the displaced to
their homes, and nothing concerns us from this basic priority.
With regard to the referendum, it is unconstitutional and the
Federal Court has decided not to conduct it. However, it has been enacted. The
Constitution is the rule between us. If we disagree in the Constitution, the
Federal Court will resolve this dispute. It is not our right or the right of any
other party to interpret the constitution as it wishes.
The referendum was conducted without any international
recognition. The strange thing is that the officials who decided on the
referendum themselves conducted the referendum, and they themselves announced
its results without any neutral legal supervision, so there will be no impact on
this referendum and its results. If it is intended as a general opinion, we are
not ready to discuss the results of the referendum. Because it is
unconstitutional and illegitimate and its actions are incorrect, whether by
international standards or Iraqi standards and even by the standards of the same
region, so that the President of the Parliament of the province considered it
illegal, and therefore will not deal with the results of the referendum, and
there are measures we have and will do now and its goal not to punish Atunaina
Kurds because they are our citizens and will not Ntky for the protection,
security and well-being of our citizens, the Kurds and all Iraqis and Snahami
them and defend them do not want to touch them any harm or bad but certainly
belong to those responsible for the chaos and sedition, which stepped up the
national and sectarian friction at a time when Iraqis unite all
We will step up our procedures to charge those who have taken
responsibility and not citizens
All the federal authorities will impose it in the region and
we will ensure the protection of all citizens and disputed areas must return to
the federal authority according to the Constitution and we have procedures in
this aspect and our security forces will defend all Iraqis, including our
citizens Kurds
There are those who raise issues of sectarianism and racism
and the other bear all the problems of the past and the Baathist Baathist regime
has committed outrageous crimes against all Iraqis by tyranny and injustice. It
is wrong to hold the Arabs responsible. It is wrong to blame a certain sect.
This responsibility is the responsibility of those who lined up with the regime
of Saddam Kurds and Arabs who oppressed the Kurds They are Baathists Arabs and
Baathists Kurds and those who oppressed Arabs are Baathists Kurds and Baathists
Arabs
And who bears the responsibility for this injustice is the
body and the people who carried out this persecution and bears responsibility
the people of Baghdad and the rest of Iraq
This is a dangerous approach to accuse the other of a racist
way that accuses the other of all the previous crimes and bear responsibility
All those who participated with the regime of Saddam bear these crimes and more
Iraqis have signed the injustice of Saddam
Our security forces are not like the previous forces. Their
aim is to protect the citizens and you see what they did in Ninewa and Mosul
sacrificed themselves to protect the citizens and these forces that protect the
citizens and protect Iraq, not Saddam's army.
We have a law and a constitution that governs the method of
imposing the de facto situation, seizing the land by force and persecuting the
citizens, as happened in this referendum. There were rejections, threats,
manipulations, manipulation of everything, threats of the people by force, and
others who were persecuted. And threatened if they did not go to the referendum
and this is a lot happened in the disputed areas and in the regions of the
province and this will not continue
And it is a mistake that bears responsibility for who did it
will remain loyal to all our citizens and we will remain loyal to the unity of
Iraq
The troops who fought and fought did not fight for this or
that person but fought for one unified Iraq and for all citizens to be together.

with the Kurds [extended]

[Ayna-Baghdad)Th
The Prime Minister, Haidar Abadi, a
condition for negotiations with the Kurdistan region, "revealing" the
establishment in the region - not named - the deposit of imports of Kurdistan
oil in personal accounts abroad.
"The referendum is a unilateral process
that does not respect the partners and its repercussions are catastrophic, and
we want the Kurds to negotiate because the constitutional procedures of the
federal government will harm them," Abadi said at his weekly press conference on
Tuesday.
"We will not negotiate with the region
on the results of the referendum because it is illegal and contrary to the
Constitution and can cancel the results of the referendum and then return to
negotiate," stressing "will not secede from the unity of Iraq and this
constitutional duty and the Constitution stressed the unity and sovereignty of
Iraq."
"Iraq is strong with all its sons and
will be weak by the weakness of its two sons," noting that "under the tyrant was
using Iraq strong to suppress the people and today, on the contrary, strong Iraq
to protect the people."
Abadi said that "some unfortunately
plan a weak Iraq and imagine it will be stronger and it is wrong," noting that
"the mood of the Iraqis is the rejection of sectarianism and chauvinism and some
want to restore chauvinism and say we and they, and prefer a nationality or a
sect on another."
He warned the Prime Minister "of the
repercussions of the referendum, which will cause damage in Kurdistan and Iraq
in general," surprising "throwing the crimes of the former regime from one
nationality to another."
He stressed that "the federal
government will not practice the practices of repression as in the former regime
and do not follow the sectarian approach and sectarian and racist, but we will
impose power according to the Constitution."
He explained that "the oil resources in
Kurdistan must return to the central government and the region receives a high
proportion of imports as well as grants and foreign financial loans, which is
part of the constitutional right."
Abadi stressed that "the government has
begun to implement measures on the region but will not affect the dignity of
citizens and their livelihood, especially the Kurds," accusing "the Kurdish
media to translate our statements and actions by mistake and delete many things
to prevent the arrival of the truth of the Kurdish citizens, but we emphasize
that all our actions are not directed against the Kurdish people, To tighten the
protection of the Kurdish citizens in Baghdad and any province they are in and
will not allow harm to any Iraqi citizen, especially the Kurdish citizen and
will remain Iraqis and defend them and their interests. "
He added that "our decisions towards
the region is merciful to the Kurdish people to take care of their interests and
away from any friction we are strong in the unity of our people and not
aggression and punishment, and we have no punitive action against the Kurds, but
some want to get things to fight hatred statements and we asked the region to
hand over oil to the federal government And we will restore resources to the
budget and allocate it to the people of the region. "
He pointed out that "Turkey remains a
neighboring country and has become a joint military exercise, which is healthy
to protect the border between the two countries and the region as
well."
"Our forces have achieved victories in
Anbar and Hawija, and we have not changed our priorities in the war. We are
continuing to liberate all Iraqi territory. We will soon liberate other areas
and liberate a large part of the occupied area in Kirkuk," he said.
He said that "Da'ash is still occupying
parts of the Iraqi territory, including part of Kirkuk, and there are those who
want to drag us into an internal crisis to divide Iraq through an
unconstitutional, illegitimate and rejected referendum locally and
internationally."
"The government demands that the
international community not recognize the legitimacy of the referendum," Abadi
said, referring to an official invitation to visit France next month to support
Iraq in the fight against terrorism and support the unity of Iraq and to attend
a meeting of international security in Brussels next month.
