Turkey: Independence poll for northern Iraq a 'mistake'

The decision by the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) to hold an independence referendum later this year is a 'grave mistake', the Turkish Foreign Ministry said Friday.

Reacting to KRG President Masoud Barzani's announcement that a vote would be held on Sept. 25, the Foreign Ministry said Iraq's territorial integrity should be guarded.

'We think that this will be a grave mistake,' the ministry said in a statement on Wednesday's declaration. 'Protection of the territorial integrity and political unity of Iraq is one of the basic principles of Turkey's Iraq policy.'
