What say you? Do you think the Kurds in northern Iraq should move forward with complete independence from Iraq?
I may disagree with the KDP (the ruling party in Northern Iraq (part of Kurdistan)) mainly because of their hostile actions with the PYD, YPG, PKK, but I do believe that Kurdistan in Northern Iraq should vote for complete independence from Iraq. The Kurds have shown that they are good partner when it comes to military affairs and protection of different sects of the population, but they have also been getting screwed economically by Baghdad. I hope the referendum moves forward. [/FONT][/COLOR]
No. Iraqi Kurdistan's economy relies largely on oil, and since an independent Kurdistan would be completely landlocked, it would become heavily reliant on, if not a client of, Iran or Turkey in order to survive. The KRG, and the KDP in particular, don't have a great track record when it comes to minorities, utterly abandoning the Yazidis in Sinjar during ISIS' 2014 summer offensive. As brutal as the PKK has been in the past, ISIS' slaughter and enslavement of the Yazidis would have been far worse had they and the YPG not cooperated in evacuating the town after the Peshmerga simply left. The KDP is also repressive, having copied Assad's approach to dissent by opening fire on protestors. Barzani is a pimp and a warlord and the Kurdish people deserve much better than him as the leader of an autonomous region, let alone an independent state.
This is all, of course, leaving out the fact that Iraq is still in a war of existence against ISIS. This is not a good time to challenge the integrity of the Iraqi state, especially when Kurdish cooperation is essential for the upcoming liberation of Mosul. In short, this is neither the time nor the place for a new nation.
Acc. to The United States Secretary of Defence Ashton Carter there is a link between PYD-YPG and PKK. Ashton Carter admits PYD and PKK link in testimony.
:roll: .who created all the chaos in the ME since 9 / 11 ? me ???

I never realized they were denying it?
A few hours later Spokesman John Kirby said, despite Defense Secretary Ashton Carter’s recent statements about the group,
“… Nothing’s changed about our take here. The PKK [Kurdistan Workers’ Party] is a foreign terrorist organization. That hasn’t changed,” Kirby said. “… YPG’s not a designated foreign terrorist organization. PKK is. Nothing’s changed about that.”
USA is violating The United Nations’ landmark Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), which was signed by USA, by supporting PYD, Syrian branch of PKK. This means USA goes against Article 18 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VCLT).
International courts will in future be waiting for USA.
terrorist pkk killed so many teachers but I think terrorism is really supported! if terrorists serve for the west imperialist aims,teh west will keep supporting any terrorism.supporting terrorism is not humanism ,people have to understand this fact .PKK is terrorist ,not so different from islamic terrorists!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course the PKK are terrorists. They use the same terrorist tactics against civilians in Turkey as Hamas uses against civilians in Israel.

The central government should lock the seditious insurrectionists up, and not allow the referendum to move forward.
So why single out Iraq?? Turkey has the biggest piece of the pie and looking at this map, I'd say that Iran has nearly the same size slice as Iraq, so why single Iraq?? What makes it so special??
It's only sedition if Baghdad is in a state where they can enforce those laws. If Kurdistan seceded and defended their borders from Baghdad they are now functionally a new state not subject to sedition laws.
Yesdemso are you sure you are anti imperialist letfy ?
No....you just support what USA GOVT wants to see in the ME.
In Iraq? Most likely not. In Rojava, yes.Do you think kurdistan (if it is officially founded) will be a communist socialist etc country ?
