Ankara has warned that a plan by Iraq's Kurdish region to hold an independence referendum could lead to a civil war.
Turkish foreign minister Mevlut Chavushoglu argues that Iraq has been through so many problems and the vote can make the situation even worse. This has been Ankara’s strongest warning against the poll.
On Tuesday too a Turkish government spokesman said Kurdistan's independence violates Iraq’s constitution and will further destabilize the region.
The leadership of Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan region has announced a referendum to be held on September 25 despite international warnings.
