ARBIL, Iraq, Dec 11, 2010 (AFP) — Iraqi Kurdish leader Massud Barzani called on Saturday for the right to self-determination of the Kurdish region of northern Iraq, which could lead to a breakup of the country.

Speaking at a congress of his Kurdistan Democratic Party, Barzani said "the issue of self-determination," which was considered "a right," would be presented to those attending the conference "to be studied and discussed."
