Iraq
Fix Baghdad to stop Iraq’s partition
2017-10-01
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Give the Kurds a real stake in Baghdad’s government, only then they dispense the separation plea. Right now, they are imitating honorary positions without authority. The same applies to many components of the Iraqi state, which was built post the invasion. It was built on a shared parliamentary system.

Almost each and every country in the region opposes any territory’s separation, as such, Kurdistan’s separation will not be easy. There is increased fear that the central Iraqi authority, along with Iran and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
, will wage a war against the Kurdish ’state.’ This is especially after 92 per cent of the Kurds in Kurdistan supported the separation. Separation is a long and dangerous political road, it includes military confrontations and a painful economic blockade. Nevertheless, the Kurds are determined, even if they hold back a little now, they will pursue it. The reason why the Kurds’ project is worrisome is because the rest of Iraq’s provinces and governorates are divided by separatist ideas that will eventually lead to the end of Iraq as we know it. A Iraq we have known since 1920 ‐ one whose borders were set by the British and French.
