Turkey has accused Iraqi Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) leader Massoud Barzani of "dissolving Iraq," vowing to take "all necessary actions" to contain any fallout from the independence referendum at a national security meeting, Hurriyet reports.
"If you opt for the disintegration of Iraq, we will not tell you 'OK, go ahead.' We have told them many times. We have told them in our bilateral talks," Turkish President Erdoğan said.
"You knock on our doors when you face difficulty and receive all kinds of support from us, but when it comes to disintegrating Iraq you go your own way," Erdoğan added.
