The region is becoming more and more fragile the referendum has no legitimacy in terms of International Law unfortunately the Regional Government despite all the friendly warnings has made a huge mistake by holding this referendum as we have always mentioned they have no right to increase tensions in the region for their personal and regional interests so it has more now from erbil in iraqs kurdish region.
