Revision as of 10:21, 25 December 2017

The two-state solution or the 80% solution[1] for the Iraqi–Kurdish conflict refers to the permanent separation of Iraqi Kurdistan from Iraq, as opposed to retaining Iraqi unity with Iraqi Kurdistan as an autonomous region. The two-state solution in Iraq would change the long-term status which has existed in the country following the formation of the Kurdish autonomy in Northern Iraq in 1991.

The former President of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region, Masoud Barzani, facilitated the Iraqi Kurdistan independence referendum in September 2017. This invoked the Prime Minister of Iraq Haider al-Abadi to demand that the referendum result be cancelled, and called on the KRG to initiate dialogue "in the framework of the constitution".[2] In October, Iraq began to move its forces into areas seized by the KRG after the entry of ISIL, and all the disputed areas outside the Kurdish Region, including Kirkuk.[3][4]
