The head of the Kurdistan region Massoud Barzani confirmed in (July 8, 2014) that the Kurdish people will not back down on its right to self-determination as decided by his own free will.
To that, the political bureau of the Kurdistan Democratic Party member Kamal Kirkuki, the Kurds are determined to hold the referendum and not one that can put hurdles and obstacles to the process, pointing out that he was taking a number of steps in this regard.
He Karagoki in remarks to the Kurdistan Democratic Party site, said that «the Kurds are determined to hold the referendum and this is a legitimate right for the citizens of Kurdistan, according to international law, all people or a free nation to self-determination and freedom, and all fair, democratic give this right to citizens to self-determination ».

The member of the Political Bureau of the party, led by regional president Massoud Barzani that «chauvinist ideology unacceptable to the Kurds are not allowed to impose pressure on them and intimidate them,
so the Kurds will decide on that and the people of Kurdistan are free to choose the way of life», stressing that «will be expanded Message referendum by Kurds and will continue efforts on and on in this area ».
Within the calls for secession of the Kurdistan region of Iraq, has already called on Vice-President of the Kurdistan region of Rasool, to take advantage of the current opportunity to build an independent Kurdish entity, within a congratulatory message addressed to regional president Massoud Barzani, on the occasion of the new year.
Kurdish leaders are competing in the launch of the statements that confirm their intention to secede from Iraq, especially after the circumstances that followed the emergence of al »State» in Iraq, thus widening the Kurds control of large areas around the Kurdish areas, which have declared that they have become part of the Kurdistan region.
The US State Department has announced that the United States rejects the independence of the Kurdistan region of Iraq, and supports the "whole" and the unity of the Iraqi territory.
Said US Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs, Alan Patterson, in a press statement, "I say Kurdish parties wishing to secede from Iraq, the United States fully supports the unity of the Iraqi land, and still provide a lot of aid and working to improve the rule of law and a lot of other things." .
Patterson and reduced demand for secession of the Kurds, saying that "the issue Daash overshadowed the overall context, and we have to do a better job of talking about other issues."
She said: "great unanimity held in Jeddah to discuss face Daash, but of course there are other threats, but this specific threat is very bad, and we focus on it," adding that "there is a consensus more on strategy now among the allies, and there are broader support for this strategy between the countries does not agree in general. "
The renewal of Iraq's Kurdistan Regional Government, to call for a referendum on the secession of the territory from Iraq, the timing is remarkable after it became the organization (Daash) less a threat to Iraq's Kurdistan security,
and after the Kurdish peshmerga forces have the support of the international coalition to keep the militants regulation limits the region, Following the rule of a feeling that after the departure of former prime minister post, Nouri al-Maliki, the presidency of the executive branch, is witnessing a conciliatory atmosphere between Baghdad and Erbil.
Call for secession by Barzani is not the first, but this time the geopolitical situation in Iraq and the region, the region and the world was quite different from the past, what opened the door to several interpretations of the motives of these Kurdish step.
By chairing Maliki previous government, the region's president waved several times to independence, whenever reached the relationship between Erbil and Baghdad to a standstill.
He was feeling the effect that is undergoing received the new head of government, Haider al-Abadi, the reins of power in Iraq, an atmosphere of compatibility between the two, especially in light of US pressure exerted on the "National Alliance" to form a national unity government that represents all the people of Iraq components and seek to implement the demands of the These parties.
Kurds and defend their decision that he came to the lack of seriousness of the Government of al-Abadi, in resolving the outstanding issues between Baghdad and Erbil, which continued during periods of successive governments since the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
At the forefront of these issues, the implementation of Article 140 of the Iraqi Constitution, which provides for the normalization of the situation in the disputed areas with Baghdad, and compensation for the victims and conduct a census in these areas, before a referendum on accession to the Kurdistan region.
This issue and some of the other outstanding issues between Baghdad and Erbil, such as oil and gas law and the region's share of Iraq's budget, and the non-payment of dues of employees in the region, which came by a decision of al-Maliki,
push the Kurds politicians to grant Abadi period of time not exceeding three months, as a prerequisite for participation in his government.
But it seems, by tracking Kurdish politicians remarks, that their differences with Baghdad exceed the outstanding issues mentioned above, it is this time differences with al-Abadi, specifically with the "National Alliance" which was nominated Abadi for prime minister.
To avoid the complexities of this dispute, Abadi agreed to a request Barzani's party, make a change in the positions of candidates in the federal government, as the party's request replace the position of Rose Nuri Shaways, as finance minister, the post of Deputy Prime Minister instead of Hoshyar Zebari, who took over as finance minister in the government Federal.
Some Iraqi parties and refuses to step the region and calls the "opportunistic" they came after the demise of the Kurds felt danger "Daash"
Some Arab parties in Iraq also refuses to step the region and described as "opportunistic" because it came after the Kurds felt the possibility of the demise of the danger, "Daash" for the region, in light of the progress made by "peshmerga" forces against militants organization in recent days, and under intensive protection provided by the international coalition led by the United States to the region.
Read Observers Barzani's comments, that the "referendum on independence for the region and the province of Kirkuk is irreversible," and that a favorable opportunity for separation, having become Kirkuk, the oil-rich, and some of the disputed areas with Baghdad, under the control of the Peshmerga forces, following the withdrawal of Iraqi forces, including the inability to confront militants "Daash" last June.
This motive behind making the region so it may be a step, since arrived convinced that al-Abadi, even if it is sincere implementation of promises to negotiate the disputed areas, is not able to negotiate a lot of areas, due to the lack of central government control, but they are under the control of "Daash ". Kurds also finds that the application of Article 140 of the Iraqi Constitution, is non-negotiable by most of the Iraqi Arab parties, Sunni and Shiite, alike.
It is also human rights activists, that secession of the Kurds at this stage, step illegal, because the last UN Security Council resolution on Iraq, the figure in 1278, emphasized the unity of Iraq.
They also refuse to Barzani's comments about the possibility of separation, similar to the secession of southern Sudan as inaccurate because the final separation was based on a prior agreement between Khartoum and Juba.
It describes some Iraqi politicians, especially from within the "National Alliance", step by Government of the Territory as "provocative", calling it an attempt by the Kurds to raise the ceiling of their demands and get the most they can get from concessions during negotiations with Baghdad.
It seems that the Kurds hint of secession for concessions and gains from the Government of al-Abadi, is not unexpected, given the difficulty of achieving the separation at the current stage.
According to the movements and statements of Kurdish politicians, especially members of the "democratic", the dominant government of Kurdistan party, that the Kurds have agreed to participate in the government of al-Abadi reluctantly and under pressure from the United States, preoccupied now the elimination of "Daash" in Iraq and Syria, which sees in the step of separation impediment to its goal to eliminate the organization.
At the regional level, may cause the formation of an independent Kurdish government big problems, may destabilize countries in the region, especially Turkey, which fears that Kurdish independence in Iraq leads to push the Kurdish minorities also claim to independence.
The latest Turkish refusal to lend a hand to the Kurds of Syria in their fight against Daash in the eye of the Arab city, for fear that will lead to Syria's Kurds control of the city to the Kurdish independence in the end.
And the Arab world, Arab countries did not support the declaration of a Kurdish state, because of the fear of the possibility that form an alliance with Israel, which announced its prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, for his country's support for the independence of Kurdistan, saying that it "strengthens the alliance between the forces of moderation in the region."
Divide among the main Kurdish parties and is considered one of the most important obstacles facing the Declaration of secession of the Kurds at the moment. These parties are afraid of losing some of the gains, and fueling conflicts among them, in the event of independence, announced at this stage.
It is known that the party "democratic" Kurdistan is an ardent independence, while it does not seem rival, "National Union" party, convinced the idea.
In a clear indication of the emergence of differences between the two main Kurdish parties, "Union" party threatened two weeks ago, "Democratic" party broke up their partnership on the back of the uniqueness of the final decision.
Despite the support of the MDC, led by Mustafa Nchorauan, the idea of independence, but it is feared that this may lead to the control of my family, the two Kurdish leaders, Talabani and Barzani, the state institutions, and directed government in Kurdistan to totalitarian rule.
In all cases, the Kurds of Iraq remains the only winners of the worsening security situation in Iraq, and with the support provided by them to the Western alliance in the context of his campaign to eliminate "Daash
." And postpone their dream of establishing the desired state does not mean that elusive achieve.
