Masrour Barzani, the Chancellor of the Kurdistan Region's Security Council in Iraqi, called on the US to back the Kurdistan independence referendum.

He pointed out that US sent its troops to Kurdistan Region as a safe place for its troops and the Kurdish Peshmerga forces backed the US-led coalition from the beginning to fight ISIS terrorists.

There is no US trooper that has been killed in the Kurdistan Region since 1991, he said proudly.

Barzani continued that US should provide the protection for Independence referendum and support the Kurdish people in their attempt to have their rights.

On 7th of June, Barzani met with Kurdistan political figures and parties and agreed to hold an independence referendum on 25th of September.

They also agreed to hold parliamentary and presidential elections soon after the referendum. https://www.thebaghdadpost.com/en/story/14976/We-want-US-to-back-us-for-independence-Kurdish-official
