Turkey has made a "final appeal" to Iraq's Kurdish region to cancel its independence referendum planned for next Monday. Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdag said that Turkey is also against the postponement of such a vote, warning there would be "serious consequences" if the Iraqi Kurdish Regional Government insists on going ahead with the referendum. Turkey strongly opposes moves toward Kurdish independence, fearing it might stoke separatist sentiment among their own large Kurdish minorities.
