Baghdad, Sept 26, 2017 (AFP) — Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi on Tuesday gave authorities in Kurdistan 72 hours to give the central government control of airports, a day after the autonomous region voted on independence.
Speaking at a news conference, Abadi said his government would ban "international flights to and from Kurdistan" in three days unless the airports are put in its control.
