"Disintegration increases security concerns in the region and does not contribute to the Kurdish community," stressed the Member of Parliament, Masoud Goudarzi noting Iran and Turkey have concern over this issue, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).
Beckoned to Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Baqeri's trip to Turkey, the political analyst stressed, Iran and Turkey cooperate in various areas but what raises Islamic Republic of Iran's concern is Turkey's recent stance on regional issues."
Goudarzi held reviewing the plan for a referendum on the independence of Iraqi Kurdistan as a reason for Major General Baqeri's visit.
Some groups are after separatism and disintegration in the region, but Turkey's stances with this regard stem in its policy for solving its internal security, not defending separation," stressed the political analyst.
"The central government of Iraq is not in favor of parting, but Iraqi Kurdistan does not follow the central government," pointed out the political figure.
It is noteworthy that the president of Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government, Masoud Barzani, announced on Twitter in June that the northern territory would hold an independence referendum on September 25 not only in the three provinces that make up the Kurdish region, but also in the areas that have been bone of contention between the Iraqi Kurdistan Region and the central government in Baghdad.
The Iraqi government has rejected the planned referendum as "unilateral" and unconstitutional. Turkey, Iran and Syria, which together with Iraq have sizable Kurdish communities, also oppose an independent Kurdistan.
