State Department: U.S. Does Not Recognize Kurdistan Independence Vote

The State Department made clear Friday that the United States will not recognize Iraqi Kurdistan’s referendum on independence held Monday to separate from Iraq.

“The United States does not recognize the Kurdistan Regional Government’s unilateral referendum held on Monday. The vote and the results lack legitimacy and we continue to support a united, federal, democratic and prosperous Iraq,” Secretary of State Rex Tillerson wrote in a press release.

After urging calm, Tillerson emphasized that American interests in the region require fighting the Islamic State (ISIS). He wrote, “The fight against ISIS/Daesh is not over, and extremist groups are seeking to exploit instability and discord. We urge our Iraqi partners to remain focused on defeating ISIS/Daesh.”

Iraqi Kurdistan’s regional government took the step of holding a vote on independence at the start of this week, against the explicit wishes of Iraq’s national government. While the referendum saw a high turnout and a decisive win for Kurdish independence, its legitimacy was in question before the vote ever took place. Not only is Baghdad displeased by the development, but Iran and Turkey, two countries with sizable Kurdish minorities with long-running ambitions for autonomy of their own, issued statements disparaging the vote. Only Israel made overtures suggesting it might recognize an independent Kurdistan in what is now Iraq’s northern territories. READ MORE
