ARBIL, Iraq, Sept 15 (APP/AFP): The Iraqi
Kurdish parliament prepared to vote Friday on holding an independence referendum while keeping the door open for a last-minute compromise in the face of mounting opposition from Baghdad.
The parliament in the Kurdish regional capital of Arbil, northern
Iraq, was to vote at 1600 GMT on a motion giving “a legal framework” to the September 25 referendum that has also stirred protests from neighbouring states, especially Turkey.
