The discourse plays an important role in creating awareness and building meaning in society. From analyzing its texts, the policies of the elite and the culture of society can be understood. The political actor, regardless of whether he is an individual, a party, or a state, cannot express his ideas and programs without an effective and influential speech that affects the recipient intellectually and emotionally. The speech is not just words, phrases or linguistic structures. It is a political agenda, a strategic vision, and a moral project that reflects the value structure of its creator and cultural background, and plays political, communicative, and moral roles in society.The chapters of the Kurdish issue in Iraq since the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, was filled with many uprisings, wars, and uncompleted political agreements. That was due to disputes on land, wealth, and sovereignty, and the decision of the President of the Kurdistan region of Iraq to conduct a referendum within the context of this long conflict, despite strong opposition of the central government in Baghdad and some Arab and foreign countries. The announcement of the President of the Kurdistan region of Iraq “Massoud Barzani” to hold a referendum for independence on October 25, 2017, coincided with the Iraqi battle to liberate its western territories which were occupied by the terrorist organization (ISIS). Therefore, the announcement was considered as a move paving the way for the separation of the province from the central government in Iraq. This Kurdish trend and the waving of separation have encountered many obstacles, the most important of which are: the position of the central government, the fate of the disputed areas, the future of Kirkuk, the doubts after the restoration of Mosul, the oil issues and others
