MORE than 75 per cent of Greenlanders voted in favour of self-rule in a referendum that paves the way for independence from Denmark, final results showed.
A total of 75.54 per cent voted "yes" to greater autonomy, while 23.57 per cent said "no," the local government said.
A self-rule proposal hammered out with Denmark earlier this year gives Greenland, which was granted semi-autonomy from Copenhagen in 1979, rights to potentially lucrative Arctic resources, as well as control over justice and police affairs and, to a certain extent, foreign affairs.
The local government said 71.96 percent of the island`s 39,000 eligible voters had cast ballots.
