ERBIL
A special committee made of representatives from Kurdish political parties will soon begin their efforts to finalise the preparations for an imminent independence referendum taking place in the Kurdistan Region, an official said.

Following the Eid al-Fitr, the independence referendum committee will begin to set the ground for the polls which will take place on September 25th with other Kurdish factions, Kakamin Najjar, a senior official for the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), told his party’s official website.


He stated that up to the date of the referendum, the committee will continue holding meetings with all the Kurdish political parties in hopes of ensuring the success of the process.


Earlier on 7th of June, Kurdistan Region President, after a multilateral meeting with the Kurdish factions, announced that an independence poll will be held on September 25th and that there would be “no turning back” in the decision.
