“There are some good ideas and visions on the referendum on the Kurdistan region to be held on September 25,” said Brett McGurk, the US president’s envoy to the international coalition against the organization.
He said in a press conference held today, “There are some good ideas and visions crystallized on the referendum of the Kurdistan Region,” noting that “dialogues are still going on behind the closed doors.”
He added that our position is clear on the referendum, which was expressed by President Donald Trump during his meeting with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Following their meeting in New York, US Presidents Donald Trump and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced their opposition to the September 25 referendum in Kurdistan, warning the region of its consequences.
The President of the Kurdistan Region Massoud Barzani said earlier in the day that he is under constant pressure to postpone the referendum to be held on 25 of this month, reiterated his position not to back away from this decision.
“We are receiving invitations to postpone the referendum day and night, and pressure is being exerted on us in this regard in order to start dialogue with Baghdad,” Barzani said in a speech at a referendum rally held at the Franco-Hariri Stadium in Erbil and attended by tens of thousands. We are going back to a failed experience again. “
“The time has come too late for dialogue,” he said. “I am not the person who is failing his people and does not retreat from the referendum.”
Barzani said that “the decision of the referendum came out of my hands and the hands of the parties and became the hands of the people of Kurdistan.”
