"The Hasani Government is concerned about the recent developments within Iraq. We believe that tomorrow's independence referendum in Iraqi Kurdistan must be postponed. The priority for all parties within Iraq and its neighbours in this moment must be the fight against Daesh terrorists and to re-establish stability in Iraq following the three-year war in country against Daesh terrorist organization.
This referendum in Iraqi Kurdistan is being held unilaterally and has the potential to escalate to an armed conflict between the central Iraqi government and the Iraqi Kurds and continue the death and destruction that Iraq has faced for the past three years. We ask all involved parties to postpone this referendum until the fight against Daesh is finished and to enter negotiations rather than acting unilaterally.
We are especially concerned about the status of the Kirkuk and Nineveh plains in regards to the situation, both being the biggest potential flashpoints in the region, and the treatment of minorities such as Turkmens, Assyrians and Arabs in the two regions by the Iraqi Kurdish Regional Government.
Thus, Hasanistan calls upon all involved parties to de-escalate the situation by postponing the referendum and entering negotiations while concentrating on completing the fight against Daesh."
-Hasan Çakar, Provisional Head of State of Hasanistan
