Barzani: Referendum to be held after ISIL defeat
Peshmerga’s success against ISIL reignites Kurdish ambitions for independence.
Published On 7 May 2015
The President of Iraq’s autonomous Kurdish region Massoud Barzani has recently stated there will be a referendum on independence when ISIL is defeated.
Last year, Barzani postponed the long-planned vote saying the focus would instead be on working with Baghdad to wipe out the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant.
