\n\t\t\tIraq’s Kurdish-language\u00a0Rudaw\u00a0television network, which is affiliated\u00a0to the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) led by KRG president Massoud Barzani,\u00a0reported that the local government had\u00a0taken the measure in defiance of an earlier demand by Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi on Kurdistan to hand over oil revenue, airports and border crossings.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\u201cOil revenues in Iraqi Kurdistan must be returned to the control of the federal authorities,\u201d Abadi wrote in a tweet published on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tHe added, \u201cAll land & air border-crossings in Iraqi Kurdistan must be returned to federal jurisdiction within [three] days.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe Iraqi prime minister further noted that Baghdad would suspend all international flights to and from the Kurdistan region.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\u201cIraq will suspend international flights to [and] from the Kurdistan region if this order is not implemented,\u201d he stated<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\u201cWe will protect the rights of all Iraqis, including our Kurdish citizens. We will not punish them for the mistakes of regional officials,\u201d Abadi pointed out.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tOn Wednesday, Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim told his Iraqi counterpart Haider al-Abadi in a call that Ankara would break with past agreements on oil trading with Kurdistan region and deal only with the Baghdad government over oil exports from Iraq.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tTurkish officials later said it had stopped training Peshmerga forces in northern Iraq in response to the Kurdish independence vote.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tTurkish military trainers had been instructing the Kurdish troops in the campaign against Daesh terrorist group since late 2014.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tKurdish officials said on Wednesday that the referendum on independence from Iraq was approved by more than 92 percent of the\u00a0voters.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tHendrin Mohammed, the head of the Kurdish region’s election commission, announced the official results at a press conference in Erbil, saying the referendum passed with 92.73 percent support, and turnout stood at more than 72 percent.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tMohammed said vote counting was complete and that the results would be considered final once they were certified by the Kurdish region’s department of justice.<\/p>\n
