ANKARA Bo Jackson Black Jersey , Sept. 25 (Xinhua) -- Turkey's Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said Monday that Ankara will now only be in contact with the Iraqi central government on matters of oil, airports and borders after the Kurdish independence referendum in northern Iraq.
Speaking in a televised interview with local broadcaster CNN Turk, Yildirim said Ankara is evaluating steps regarding its border gates and air space in response to the Iraqi Kurdish referendum being held on Monday.
The prime minister said that the Turkish military drill ongoing near its Iraqi and Syrian border in the past week was regarded as precaution measures.
Iraqi forces will also join the military exercises near its border, he said, adding that Turkey are now working in coordination with Baghdad in the face of any "possibility," and would provide support to Baghdad if requested.
Yildirim noted that Turkey would "not go to war," but they were taking cross-border precautions on issues of importance to the country.
He stressed that the Kurdistan Regional Government's independence referendum is "illegitimate" and will be declared "null and void," warning that the move will only worsen the existing chaos and instability in the country.

BEIJING, Dec. 10 (Xinhua) -- In her ninth year living in China, An Qi, 21, went viral in an online video.
In a clip posted earlier this year, the African girl speaks in a dialect from China's southwestern municipality of Chongqing, very different from Mandarin in pronunciation and tone, garnering huge attention online.
An Qi got her Chinese name after coming to Chongqing, and had barely any idea about China when she arrived in the country for school after leaving the Republic of Congo in 2008.
Now as a sophomore majoring in business administration in Chongqing University, she speaks fluent Chinese and has nearly 330,000 fans on "Meipai," a Chinese video streaming app.
Online fame helps her with her offline dream: to earn enough money in China to give her parents a better life back home.
"It is the same dream of many Chinese people," she said.
The "Chinese dream" is an idea put forward by the Chinese top leadership that has become something of a catchphrase across the nation, and been widely interpreted as the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, an idea itself entwined with the Chinese people's yearning for a better life.
For foreign residents chasing dreams in China like An Qi, the Chinese dream is not something held dear by just Chinese people, but something to be aspired to for just about anyone who dares to dream.
DREAM FOR EMBRACEMENT
Before An Qi came to China, she only knew the country through television, and believed the same time worn cliches as everybody else that knows little about China. She actually believed everyone in the country knew kung fu.
Nine years later, things have changed and even her hometown is dotted with Chinese companies.
"Many Chinese companies are building infrastructure there, which is really improving our life," she said.
As China works to carve out a better future for itself, it is also embracing other countries as it develops, through such programs as the Belt and Road Initiative, an ambitious plan to strengthen China's cooperation with countries throughout the world.
Since the initiative was started in 2013, China had spent 51.1 billion U.S. dollars in countries along the Belt and Road, and Chinese companies had created tax revenues totaling 900 million U.S. dollars for those countries as well as nearly 70,000 local jobs as of July 2016.
An Qi is fond of calling China her "second home" and respects the fact that her country has received so much help from China.
"We have benefited from the stable development of the Chinese economy," she said.
DREAM FOR OPPORTUNITY
William M. Scott IV, executive vice president of MGM Resorts International, has swapped the American dream for the Chinese dream, leaving the Unites States to seek opportunities in China.
Working for the U.S. global hospitality and entertainment company, Scott also has another title: managing director of Diaoyutai MGM Hospitality, a joint venture between Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, China's top venue for hosting foreign leaders, and MGM Resorts International.
Through the venture, Diaoyutai and MGM have jointly opened hotels in Hangzhou and Chengdu and residences in Sanya, a resort city in China's southern Hainan Province. They also have projects in the pipeline for Beijing, Shanghai and Frankfurt.
Born in the United States, Scott's parents could never have imagined that one day he would be living and working in China. Now he works with a Chinese and Americans team with a mutual dream: that both countries have market success.
"Our product is different because it combines elements of both the Chinese and American hospitality traditions. We think this makes the product better," Scott said.
Scott's personal dream, of pursuing professional success, is closely connected with the Chinese dream.
"I view the Chinese dream as just a part of my own dream, the dreams of my friends -- the human dream."
"We are building a company together, and it does not matter that some of us are Chinese and some of us are Americans," he said.
