President of Iraqi Kurdistan Masoud Barzani has indicated that if the Iraqi government does not accept the results of the referendum this month, then they will decide the boundaries of future Kurdistan.

There is a referendum on freedom in Kurdistan this month.

Masoud Barzani has told the BBC that if the Kurds vote to make a separate country, then they want an agreement with the central government.

At the same time, the Iraqi prime minister has told this referendum unconstitutional.

Barzani has warned that if any group tries to change the situation of Kirkuk on the strength of strength then the Kurd will fight with him.

Oil rich and Turks and Arab population with Kirkuk control at the hands of Kurd Peshmerga forces at this time.

Shia militia fighters say that Kirkuk will not be part of any independent Kurdistan.

The Kurd is the fourth largest racial community in the Middle East, but has never been a permanent nation.

Kurds population are up to 15-20 percent in Iraq, but here under the Arab-led governments, they have been exploited for decades.

After the 1991 Gulf War, the Kurds achieved autonomy.

Kurdistan's provincial government and political parties had decided to make a referendum on the issue of independence three months ago.

Voting for this referendum on September 25 is to be voted.

Kurdish officials say that if people vote for an independent nation, then this does not mean immediate independence, but the long conversations of separation with the central government will start.

Barzani told the BBC, "This is the first step. This will be the first time in history when the Kurdish people will decide their future independently."

"After the referendum, we will negotiate with Baghdad about the borders, oil and water sharing," he said.

They said, "We will take these steps, but if they do not accept it, then it will be a different matter."

The United States and Britain have warned that independence can be a major danger when Iraq is fighting extremist organizations Islamic State.

Barzani ignored the warning and said, "When did we have stability or security in this area, which we are afraid of losing? When Iraq was so united that we were worried about ending its unity. Those who are saying this are just looking for excuses to stop us."
