The Russian TV quoted Barzani as saying on Saturday that the independence for the region is impossible at the moment due to political and security considerations.
“The Kurdish nation has the right to take a decisive step in getting its independence, but the current circumstances will not allow it to get this independence. Kurdistan’s interest is in resolving this issue peacefully with Baghdad,” Russia 24 quoted Barzani
Kurdistan region presidency office released a statement and denied the report, stressing that it has mistranslated an answer by Barzani.
The statement added that the region is not a threat for anyone but it is an important factor for stability and security in the Middle East and plays a significant economic role too, adding that Erbil tried hard to solve problems but all efforts were to no avail. It concluded that it is the right of the region to declare its division from Iraq but is should be peaceful. The TV corrected the mistake later and appologized for the mistake.
