Turkey has adopted an explicit and clear attitude before and after the illegitimate referendum held by the KRG. This attitude is based on the principle that favors the peace and prosperity of the Iraqi people, upholds international law and the Iraqi Constitution, and prioritizes the protection of regional peace and stability.

At this stage, the international society should act in a coherent, unequivocal and unambiguous manner with regard to the preservation of the political unity and territorial integrity of Iraq.
