the city of Erbil, which has started since the last
few weeks, director of Erbil Gas Company, Bakhtiar
Abdulla, informed local media about the current
problem relating to the import of liquid gas from
Turkey.
And he said, "The problem is continuous till the
current moment and it has been like that since
October the first, in which gas has not been brought
into Kurdistan."
However, it is estimated that the current Iraqi
delegation in Turkey that has formed from
representatives in the Iraqi Oil Ministry, will find
a solution for the problem.
"Currently, the only source of gas in Erbil is the
limited amount that is been brought from Kirkuk.
Daily, only the total quantity of 60 tons will be

to fulfill all people's requirements," added the
