Iraq's Kurdistan Says to Respect Court Decision Banning Secession

Iraq's Kurdistan Says to Respect Court Decision Banning Secession
Iraqi Kurdish authorities said on Tuesday they would accept a court decision prohibiting the region from seceding, signaling a new phase in efforts to restart stalled negotiations over its future.


The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) said on Tuesday it would respect the Nov. 6 ruling by the Supreme Federal Court, which declared that no Iraqi province could secede.

“We believe that this decision must become a basis for starting an inclusive national dialogue between (Kurdish authorities in) Erbil and Baghdad to resolve all disputes,” the KRG said in a statement, Reuters reported.

The court ruling came in response to a request from the central government in Baghdad to end any “wrong misinterpretation” of the Iraqi constitution and assert the country’s unity.
