organization “ISIL” and their control over large areas in the north and west of Iraq.

Deputy Prime Minister , Bulent Arinc said at the conclusion of a meeting of the Turkish government that, "The whole world knows our official position, Iraq should not be divided, not leave the word to the weapon, no for shed blood and not put the power in their hands on Iraq, as we must keep Iraq united."

The militants of ISIL announced Sunday the Islamic caliphate on the territory under their control in Syria and Iraq.

This attack has contributed to the growing fears of Kurdistan separation from Baghdad after the areas controlled by ISIL organization controlled  areas that separate between Kurdistan region in the north and the areas under the control of Iraqi government forces in the south.

Arinc completely rejected the call of Israeli Prime Minister , Benjamin Netanyahu to establish an independent Kurdish state in northern Iraq, stressing that "there is a state and constitution in Iraq."

 

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan opposed strongly any independence of Kurdistan, but he made at the same time close relationships with it, especially in the oil field.
