UN Security Council does not support the idea of ​​a referendum on the independence of Iraqi Kurdistan

57
The UN Security Council on the eve of a referendum on the independence of Kurdistan declared support for the unity of Iraq and called on the Kurds to find a compromise with the central government, reports RIA News.



Security Council members expressed concern about the possible destabilizing influence of the plans of the regional government of Kurdistan to hold next week’s unilateral referendum,
the statement said.

The Security Council "expressed strong respect for the sovereignty, territorial integrity and unity of Iraq" and called on the government of the country and the Kurdistan authorities to "resolve difficult issues in accordance with the Iraqi constitution and come to a compromise that will support the international community."

Also in the Security Council drew attention to the fact that the vote will take place at the time when the operation against ISIS continues (the group is banned in the Russian Federation), "in which the Kurdish forces played a key role."

Recall the referendum is scheduled for September 25, in Baghdad it is considered illegal. The Kurdish referendum has previously been criticized by many countries in the region, including Iran and Turkey. The League of Arab States also opposed it.

      is it possible that Russia, as a permanent member of the Soviet Union, spoke out against the free will of the people by self-determination.
      Did they (representatives of the Russian Federation at the UN) not listen to Putin?
      “In the case of Crimea, international law is not violated,” Putin said. “ In accordance with the UN Charter, every nation has the right to self-determination".

        The Security Council consists not only of representatives of Russia.

              Of course, the article clearly says
              Security Council members expressed concern about the possible destabilizing influence of the plans of the regional government of Kurdistan to hold next week’s unilateral referendum,

              What is said about the objections of the Russian Federation or its dissenting opinion?
              Maybe you, within the meaning of the article, understood that the Russian Federation supported the referendum?
              What are we talking about?

    It is interesting how the UN Security Council so decisively determines what is possible and what is not. Kurds cannot have a referendum, but Kosovo without a referendum is possible. Wonderful!

And now, for some reason, it’s against when the countries of Europe started to crack (the Kurds by themselves too). I wonder what will happen next.

                No old man in chronology - it was before ... But, in principle, okay, back to the Kurds. Abkhazia and North Ossetia were after Serbia and Yugoslavia. So someone is more equal? Or is it possible for someone, but not for someone? Okay, don't start. I am aware of the environment in which you live. You are far from angels, but we also should not be with a halo. Each country pursues its own interests first. Otherwise, begins to feed someone else's army. We don’t need that. To you too. As for the Kurds, in vain your “partners” began so arming them so intensively. When the Americans begin to arm someone and move to the first line of the struggle with "evil" nothing good comes out. It’s only a shame that others (you in particular) will have to deal with such “mistakes”.

    And the Kurds do not care what the UN Security Council came up with and voted on. Well, that's not the right people. Among other things, if we take into account that the USA, Qatar and Israel explicitly or not explicitly support them, that now the Kurds are armed more than ever, that right now they have the best moment to finally create their own state based on national and religious grounds during the general confusion ...
    What are they up to some Security Council decision ?!

    Why should everyone be guided by certain international rules? It doesn’t matter, the UN, the OSCE and so on. In fact, it turns out that the international community, represented by politicians who sometimes do not even represent the majority of the people, not to mention its individual groups, indicate how another people should live! Any nation, nation, cultural and historical community of people, has the right to self-determination, worldview, life, culture and history, especially if the state in which he lives pursues a policy of destroying his identity. The main norm should not be the notorious selective "democracy", but universal human standards of morality and aspirations of the majority, of this or that community of people! If a people is not one, then it is not a people — these are two different people, historically living in a certain territory and which, conditionally, are “united” by only one thing - the state, which has always acted as a violent superstructure over society! As long as the concept of “state” exists, the word “democracy” is an anachronism and can only be cultivated in the “family kitchen” and in the “club of interests”!
