Iraqi troops are waiting for the order of Supreme Commander Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi to be sent to areas in dispute with the Kurds on Friday, said RIA News local source in power structures.
After the independence referendum on autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan on Monday, the Iraqi parliament decided to send troops to disputed areas, in particular the oil province of Kirkuk. The districts do not belong to the Kurdish autonomy under the constitution, but they came under its control as a result of the fight against the Islamic State grouping *.
The Iraqi military has finished preparations and are in places nearby, awaiting orders from the Prime Minister, Supreme Commander Haider al-Abadi tomorrow, to go to protect civilians in disputed areas tomorrow
- the source said.
On Friday, the Iraqi authorities had previously set a deadline for the termination of international flights with the cities of Erbil and Sulaymaniyah in Iraqi Kurdistan.
According to the highest independent commission on elections and the referendum of Kurdistan, 92,7% of voters voted for independence. The Iraqi authorities declared the referendum illegitimate and stressed that they would not negotiate with the regional autonomy government on the results of the vote. Against the voting were the neighbors of Iraqi Kurdistan - Turkey and Iran, as well as the United States and the United Nations.
