A senior Iranian official says the recent secession plebiscite held in Iraq\u2019s semi-autonomous Kurdistan region will help boost Takfiri terrorism across region while jeopardizing the interests of both the Iraqi and Kurdish people.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

\n\t\u201cHolding the referendum in Iraq\u2019s Kurdistan will help the Western-Zionist-Arab front supporting Takfiri terrorism achieve its objectives and is definitely in contradiction to the interests of the Iraqi people, particularly the Kurds,\u201d Secretary of Iran\u2019s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Shamkhani said in a meeting with Turkish Chief of General Staff Hulusi Akar in Tehran on Monday.<\/p>\n

\n\tHe slammed the reckless and irresponsible approach adopted\u00a0by some officials in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region, warning that lack of due attention to security exigencies of Iraq would divert attention away from\u00a0the fight against Takfiri terrorism as the main threat to the region.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe SNSC secretary stressed the importance of bolstering cooperation among Iraq, Turkey and Iran with the purpose of preventing developments in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region\u00a0from negatively affecting the operations to clear the country of remaining Daesh terrorists.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Turkish chief of general staff, for his part, said his country strongly supported\u00a0the central government in Iraq and the country’s territorial integrity.<\/p>\n

\n\tAkar added that cooperation among Tehran, Ankara and Baghdad would thwart all divisive plans in the region.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) held a non-binding referendum on September 25 on secession from the central government in Baghdad in defiance of Iraq\u2019s stiff opposition.<\/p>\n

\n\tMajor regional and international parties have also voiced serious concern over the secessionist move, saying it would compound the problems of the country, which is already busy with counter-terrorism operations against Daesh terrorist group.<\/p>\n

\n\tIran and Turkey had warned that the controversial vote could lead to further instability in the entire Middle East, a region already ravaged by numerous conflicts and terror threats.<\/p>\n

\n\tAddressing reporters following a meeting with Akar earlier in the day, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Baqeri said Tehran and Ankara had\u00a0\u201ccommon and similar\u201d positions on the recent independence referendum held in the Kurdistan region and believed that it was unacceptable.<\/p>\n

\n\tIran and Turkey also believe\u00a0that Iraq\u2019s territorial integrity must be preserved, he added.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Turkish chief of general staff arrived in Tehran late Sunday at the invitation of Major General Baqeri, who visited Ankara in mid-August, the first by an Iranian chief of staff since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Akar\u2019s trip is taking place ahead of a scheduled visit by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to Iran.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
