3 About the survey Open Think Tank is an independent, non-partisan organization based in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, with the aim to open and promote the dialogue, discussion, and various points of view on issues of current interest. The referendum for an Independent Kurdistan to be held on 25 th of September 2017 is an important issue not only for Iraq but for the entire region and the international community, as the vote for this referendum is a potential challenge to the current political map of the Middle East. This report presents the general results of a survey conducted by the Open Think Tank from 20 to 27 th of August 2017, through in-person interviews, in the three major governorates of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq: Duhok, Erbil, and Sulaymaniah. Besides the socio-demographic questions, the survey contains six core questions, which are detailed in this report. Important to notice that some major events have occurred on the political stage of the Kurdistan region since the conduction of this survey. One of these represents the change of official position of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan to support the referendum. Considering the core PUK voters reside in the Sulaymaniyah governorate, we expect for these results of this survey to have changed accordingly. However, this change can be documented only through an additional survey exercise. As this survey shows, the share of the population that desires an independent Kurdistan is overall very high, but fewer of the respondents think about the practicalities and policy details for the after- referendum. Regardless of the results of the upcoming voting on 25th of September, a broad discussion has to take place concerning the structure and content of a future Kurdish state, in agreement with all the population, including the diversity deriving from gender, education, ethnicity, religion, political party, province and governorate of belonging. We hereby thank all the people that have accepted to give us their time answering this survey and all the collaborators and partners that have made this survey possible. When citing these results, please use the following format: Open Think Tank: (2017) Leave or Remain in Iraq? A survey of opinions and policy expectations for an Independent Kurdistan.

18 What can explain the preferences of the population of the Kurdistan Region regarding the referendum for and the expectations for an independent Kurdistan? While searching for explanations for preference formation among the population of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq to the general question for Kurdistan to remain a part of Iraq, or leave Iraq, there are a few factors that influence the results. These are the following: the governorate of belonging, political party, and age (see in yellow the significant correlations between the variables). Education Governorate Gender Ethnicity Age Political Party 1. Should the Kurdistan Region remain a part of Iraq or leave? 2. In case the result of the referendum is in favor of Kurdistan, in your opinion, when should the of Kurdistan be declared? 3. Expectations for policy areas to improve in a future independent Kurdistan *.162** **.165**.320** ** -.140** ** * ** **.315**.451** Table: Spearman s rho bivariate one-tailed correlations, variables influencing the preferences and expectations for the Independence of Kurdistan. The higher the number, the bigger the correlation. 18
19 The decision regarding the timing of declaration of in case the result of the referendum is in favor of Kurdistan is influenced by some of the following factors: education, governorate of belonging, gender and political party (see in green the significant correlations between the variables). Expectations for policy areas to improve in a future independent Kurdistan depend upon more factors then the easier question of to stay or leave Iraq. The governorate and the political party are the best predictors, however, these are completed by such factors as level of age, education, gender, and ethnicity (see in blue the significant correlations between the variables). Conclusion As seen from these results, the number of those that want the Kurdistan Region of Iraq to become an independent state is higher than the number of those that expect a better security, economy, social benefits and education in an independent Kurdistan. This proves that the decision to leave Iraq is an old desiderate of the Kurdish population of Iraq, and goes beyond any policy expectations. Despite the results of the upcoming referendum on 25 th of September, a deeper discussion has to take place regarding the structure and shape of a Kurdish state agreed by all the population, regardless of gender, education, ethnicity, religion, political party, province and governorate of belonging. How does the new state have to be and look like? How inclusive will it be and what constitutional and legal mechanisms will there be in place? What political, economic, social, cultural etc. orders will the new state build and how much difference will it make when compared to the status quo? 19
