IRAQI PRESIDENT BLAMES KURDISH REFERENDUM FOR KIRKUK ASSAULT

Iraqi President blames Kurdish referendum for Kirkuk assault

2 hours ago

SULAIMANI – Iraqi President Fuad Masoum on Tuesday (October 17) blamed the Kurdish independence referendum for triggering a military intervention by Iraqi forces to take control of the province of Kirkuk and some disputed territories.

“Holding a referendum on the Kurdistan independence from Iraq stirred grave disagreements between the central government and the government of Kurdistan,” Masoum, himself a Kurd, said in a televised address.

That “led to federal security forces retaking direct control of Kirkuk,” he said.

Iraqi Kurds voted overwhelmingly on September 25 for independence from Baghdad in a referendum which saw over 90 percent vote ‘Yes’.

Regional president Masoud Barzani had pushed ahead with the poll in defiance of Baghdad, Washington and Iraq’s neighboring states.

Masoum, who belongs to the PUK, a rival Kurdish party long at odds with Barzani, said the central government had made “strenuous efforts to reach a solution”.

But, he said, a “grave crisis… broke out between the federal government and the government of Iraqi Kurdistan because the latter insisted on unilaterally holding the referendum”.

Masoud Barzani issued a statement on Tuesday (October 17) in the wake of rapid collapse of Kurdish forces in Kirkuk, saying the takeover of the city and other disputed territories by Iraqi forces was due to “unilateral decision” of a certain political party.

“What happened in the city of Kirkuk, was due to unilateral decision of certain officials within an internal political party in Kurdistan, which eventually led to withdrawal of Peshmerga,” Barzani said in a written statement.
