TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir Abdollahian criticized certain remarks that could mean breaking up Iraq, warning that it would have dire consequences for regional stability.
Amir Abdollahian’s comments seem to have been made in reaction to President of Iraqi Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Masoud Barzani’s recent call for an independence referendum, a move which would be in line with certain plots to divide Iraq into several countries.
“Now the time is ripe for the people of (Iraq’s) Kurdistan to decide their future through a referendum,” Barzani said in a statement on Tuesday.
