Tillerson: US does not recognize Kurdish independence vote in Iraq


AMMONNEWS - The United States does not recognize the independence referendum in Iraqi Kurdistan and urges an end to 'threats of reciprocal actions,' US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said in a statement on Friday.

'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,' Tillerson said.

'We urge calm and an end to vocal recriminations and threats of reciprocal actions,' he added.
