مستقبل العلاقة بين إقليم كردستان و الحكومة الإتحادية بعد استفتاء أيلول 2017

Abstract EN

The Kurdish issue was a constant feature of Iraqi politics, both positively and negatively.

Although the principle of self determination in international law was defined with restrictions, it is not subject to a firm rule regarding it, but rather to international relations that are governed by interests in most of its folds and circumstances.

The demands of the Kurds differed according to the internal, regional and international circumstances and developments.

Their demands ranged from recognition of their national, linguistic and cultural rights, to autonomy, then to the establishment of a region under the federal system, until it reached the ceiling of separation and the formation of their own state that would be the nucleus of the Kurds in the region and the world.

That the interactive relationship between the region and the center was not stable and was marred by disagreement and tension on several issues, and the constitutional texts could not resolve them.

All these matters and others made the principle of mutual trust absent from the relationship between the two parties, this trend has printed the policies of the federal government and the policies of the region in dealing with one party against the other, and the situation in the region has worsened with the emergence of many factors that have resulted in two cases of conflict at the internal and external level.

This indicates that the state of the relationship between the two parties has moved to a dangerous direction, with various repercussions, the most important of which is the case of divergence between the parties of the Kurdish government.
