President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has once again slammed the Iraqi Kurdistan Regional Government’s (KRG) recent independence referendum, questioning Erbil’s links to the contested province of Kirkuk, Hurriyet reports.
"What is [KRG President Masoud Barzani] doing? He is saying ‘Kirkuk is mine.’ How dare you say that Kirkuk is yours? Do you have a history in Kirkuk? What are you doing in Kirkuk? Stay in the area where the northern Iraq regional administration is and do your own work," Erdoğan said.
