On Friday, Iraqi Kurdish leader Massoud Barzani said the vote would not be
delayed, despite requests from the United States and other Western powers
worried that tensions between Baghdad and Erbil would distract from the war on
Isis militants who continue to occupy parts of Iraq and Syria.
Turkish President Erdogan said in an interview on Friday that Barzani’s decision
not to postpone the referendum was "very wrong”
