The Kurds voted for Kurdish Independence




The Kurds, along with all ethnic and religious minorities in the southern Kurdistan region, voted in a referendum on Kurdistan independence on 25 September 2017.

The Kurds, with great enthusiasm and determination, went to the polls in spite of the threats of Iraq and the other three dictatorial and racist states (Turkey, Iran and Syria) who are in the possession of the other three parts of Kurdistan.

The Supreme Independent Election Authority and the Kurdistan Referendum today 27-9-2017 announced the first official results of the referendum on Kurdish independence.

Participation in the referendum was 72.16%. Of the valid ballots, 92.73% was in favor of the independence of Kurdistan's southern part from Iraq and 7.27% of independence.

The Kurds are expecting and hoping to mediate large states and international organizations so that the Iraqi state can accept Kurdistan leaving Iraq by dialogue and peace.

We Kurds also look for the support and solidarity of the international community in favor of the self-evident democratic right to decide on their self-determination.

The Kurds are determined in every way and every honor to defend their great victory in the referendum and to realize the independence of Kurdistan.

The referendum was the first and at the same time the big step in the course of the Kurds for the independence of Kurdistan and this great day will not be late.

Kurds Decide on the Independence of Kurdistan


The Kurds, together with all the ethnic and religious minorities in the southern Kurdistan region on 25 September 2017, vote in a referendum on the self-evident, namely the independence of the southern Kurdistan region from the artificial and dissolute state called Iraq.

This part of Kurdistan has an area roughly like that of Austria or the Czech Republic and has a population of around 8-9 million inhabitants.

The status quo imposed by the then imperialist forces (England and France) in 1923 with the Lausanne agreement in cooperation with the two reactive and racist states of the region (Turkey of Kemal and Persian Shah) against the Kurdish nation and of Kurdistan now dissolves.

The independence of this part of Kurdistan is the beginning in the course of the struggle of the Kurdish nation, which has a population of about 50 million in total for the future united and independent Kurdistan.

So self-determination! 
Independence of Kurdistan now!
