Yet it is noteworthy that the counting process is continuing. Today's referendum took place in the cities of Erbil, Suleymaniye, Ninova Owasi, Hanekin, Achre, Gulala, Zaho, Karatepe, Cebare, Soran, Mahmur, Amediye and Duhoa. On the other hand, the Turkish Army has launched joint military maneuvers with the Iraqi Army.
