Kurdistan referendum will isolate Kurds: Shamkhani
July 18, 2017 - 10:42
TEHRAN – Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Shamkhani said on Monday that holding a referendum on the Iraqi Kurdistan’s independence would lead to the isolation of the Kurdish people of that country.
Shamkhani made the remarks in a meeting with a high-ranking delegation from the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) in Tehran.
Pointing to the referendum as a plan orchestrated by colonizing powers, the senior official said it would eventually hurt the national interests of the Kurds and other Iraqi civilians.
