\n\t\t\t“With regards to the referendum, we are in a new era, and this issue is over and we have made our position in the Kurdistan Regional Government clear,” Nechirvan Barzani said in a joint press conference with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tHe further reaffirmed the region\u2019s \u201crespect for Iraqi federal court ruling\u201d that declared a secession referendum unconstitutional.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tOn November 20, Iraq\u2019s Supreme Federal Court, which is responsible for settling disputes between the central government in Baghdad and the country\u2019s regions, announced it had made a \u201cdecision to consider the Kurdish region\u2019s referendum unconstitutional and this ruling is final.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tIt also decided to annul \u201call the consequences and results\u201d of the plebiscite that was held on September 25 in defiance of strong objection from both Baghdad and Iraq\u2019s neighbors, particularly Iran and Turkey.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe plebiscite sparked tensions between the KRG and Baghdad, with the Iraqi army conducting a military campaign to retake the areas overrun by Kurdish militants in the course of the fight against the Daesh terrorist group.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tFollowing the vote, Baghdad imposed a ban on direct international flights to the Kurdish region and called for a halt to its independent crude oil sales.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tOn October 12, an Iraqi government spokesman said Baghdad had set a series of conditions that the KRG needed to meet before any talks on the resolution of the referendum crisis could start.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tIn his Saturday remarks, Barzani expressed Erbil\u2019s readiness to hold dialogue with Baghdad on the basis of the Iraqi constitution.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tMacron, for his part, called for dialogue between the central government in Baghdad and the KRG within the framework of the Iraqi constitution, saying he was convinced a “constructive dialogue” could lead to lifting Baghdad’s restrictions on the Kurdish region.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\u201cThis constructive dialogue must begin at the earliest time so that the problems are resolved in light of a united Iraq that respects the Iraqi constitution,\u201d said the French president.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tHe further expressed France\u2019s support for the \u201cterritorial integrity\u201d of Iraq within the framework of the Iraqi constitution.<\/p>\n
