Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi on Thursday demanded Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) abide by the decisions of the Federal Court which labelled the Independence referendum as ‘unconstitutional’, MP Ali al-Alak said on Thursday.
Abadi ordered KRG to change the word ‘respect’ with ‘abide’ which came in the recent statement commenting on the federal court decisions.
The Iraqi Supreme Federal Court in November said that Kurdistan independence referendum is ‘unconstitutional’ and ordered to consider all its consequences as void.
The Iraqi government continues to exercise its constitutional right to control border crossings and airports, Alak added, noting that Baghdad won’t start any negotiations with Erbil until the latter cancels referendum.
