<div class="full-text">
<p>Abdul Rahman al Louizi, Iraqi MP from the constituency of Nineveh Governorate, issued a communique on Tuesday saying that all terrorist groups in northern Iraq are supported by Kurdistan Democratic Party led by Masoud Barzani.</p>
<p>This member of the Council of Representatives of Iraq described the PKK decision to form a popular council in the Qandil Mountains to govern over Baliyan, Nawodasht, Sourdi, Qalatuka, and Mardow, in northern Iraq as an act of occupation conducted by the ISIL terrorists.</p>
<p>“The Kurdistan Democratic Party is paving the way for this terror enclave in a bid to pose pressure on Baghdad and neighboring countries,” asserted the Iraqi law-maker.</p>
<p>“The Kurdistan Democratic Party is trying to win the control of some regions after the protests of the last days and on the other hand in backing the formation of some terrorist groups like “White Flags” to pose more pressure on Baghdad,” noted the Iraqi MP.</p>
<p>He affirmed that Barzani is backing terrorist groups in the Qandil Mountains the same way he helped the ISIL.</p>
<p>“Baghdad and Ankara will in no way allow the formation of new illegal bands in northern Iraq which would endanger trade and oil transaction between the two countries, and hence the eradication of the council is surely to happen,” reiterated the legislator.</p>

<div class="full-text">
<p>&#8220;They have to resign from their posts. At the same time, the Cabinet should be abolished, too,&#8221; party spokesman Shorsh Haji told a news conference, calling for the formation of a &#8220;national salvation government&#8221;.</p>
<p>According to Anadolu, &#8220;Our people have lost many of their achievements which they gained shedding their blood. Peshmerga [fighters] ost their grandeur. We lost many friendly countries. The reason for all of this is due to the failures of the party in power,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>On Sept. 25, Iraqis in KRG-controlled-held areas &#8212; and in several disputed parts of the country &#8212; voted on whether or not to declare independence from the Iraqi state.</p>
<p>According to poll results announced by the KRG, almost 93 percent of those who cast ballots voted in favor of independence.</p>
<p>The illegitimate referendum faced sharp opposition from most regional and international actors (including the US, Turkey and Iran), who warned that the poll would distract from Iraq’s fight against terrorism and further destabilize the region.</p>

<div class="story">
<p>“Nobody would tolerate an independent Kurdistan, and the Kurds would not pursue independence if they exercise wisdom,” Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan, an adviser to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, said on Saturday.</p>
<p>Reminding the Kurdish officials that their region is landlocked, the Iranian general said the neighbors would never agree with such an independence plan.</p>
<p>Barzani is trying to gain concessions from Iraq’s central government, Dehqan added.</p>
<p>As Iraq’s Kurds are rushing headlong into a vote for independence on Monday, all neighbors and countries in the Middle East, including Iran and Turkey, are trying to persuade the Erbil government to cancel the referendum.</p>
<p>They warn that the vote could unleash ethnic violence, tear Iraq apart and fracture the forces combatting Daesh (ISIL) terrorists.</p>
<p>The UN Security Council has also warned of the potentially destabilizing impact of the planned referendum.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 class="lead">TEHRAN &#8211; Referendum can be postponed only with guarantees on independence, President of the Iraqi Kurdistan semi-autonomous region Masoud Barzani said.</h3>
<div class="story">
<p>He made the remarks in a meeting with British Secretary of State for Defense Michael Fallon on Monday.</p>
<p>According to an English-language statement from Barzani office, he told a visiting British minister that the Iraqi Kurdistan Region will not postpone the referendum without commitment from Baghdad to begin independence negotiations, with international guarantees that agreements will be enforced.</p>
<p>Responding to Fallon’s request for postponement of September 25 referendum, Barzani said that referendum and dialogue are both tools for independence and that, since no alternative had been presented that could guarantee independence talks and Baghdad’s readiness to commence such talks, the referendum cannot be delayed.</p>
<p>“The referendum will not be delayed only for the sake of holding talks with Baghdad without knowing the content of these talks or knowing what international guarantees they will have,” the Barzani office statement read.</p>
<p>He added, however, that if Baghdad “expresses its readiness to hold talks on Kurdistan’s independence for a specific period of time and if there are international guarantees for the enforcement of an agreement on Kurdistan’s independence” then Kurdistan’s political leadership would meet and make a final decision.</p>
<p>After the referendum, the Kurdistan region will “happily negotiate with Baghdad” he said.</p>
<p>In the meantime, the British secretary of state for defense called on Barzani to focus on dialogue with the Iraqi central government “under the supervision of the international community,” a Kurdish-language statement from the Barzani office said.</p>
<p>Fallon was in Baghdad on Monday prior to his visit to Erbil. He said in a press conference after meeting the Iraqi officials that the Kurdistan referendum is a ‘mistake’.</p>
<p>The Britain is “committed to the integrity of Iraq,” he said.</p>
