(Baghdad: Al Furat News) Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi received a telephone call from US Secretary of State Rex Tilerson.
“Washington does not recognize the referendum in the Kurdistan region, and it supports the unity of Iraq and the steps of the federal government in avoiding confrontation and imposing the rule of law,” a statement by the Prime Minister’s Office said late on Friday.
“The United States attaches importance to the war against the liberation and liberation of all of Iraq and supports the efforts of the Iraqi government to eradicate terrorism, as well as the reconstruction of liberated areas and the support of the Iraqi economy,” Tillerson said.
Abadi stressed that “what happened in Kirkuk represents a redeployment to impose order in the province, which are legal and constitutional steps in order to prevent the division of the country and weaken it.”
He added that “the federal government was keen on dialogue according to the constitution, but officials in the region did not respond,” stressing that “the priority is still to fight with the gangs of terrorist advocates, which we are approaching to resolve and liberate the entire Iraqi territory and secure the border.”
