LONDON, UK, -- Dr Ashti Hawrami, the
Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Minister for
Natural Resources, on Tuesday said that the oil and
gas sector must be managed fairly to ensure the
unity of Iraq.
The Natural Resources Minister made the remarks in
his presentation to a Middle East Energy Conference
at the Royal Institute of International Affairs,
also known as Chatham House, the UK's leading think
tank on international affairs. The London conference
brought together government officials, energy
companies, analysts and journalists.
Dr Hawrami said, “The KRG is leading the way in
Iraq’s recovery by exercising our constitutional
rights in the oil and gas sector. Our approach and
polices will become a model for all of Iraq.” |

Dr Hawrami concluded that practising democratic
federalism is the best way to keep Iraq together,
and fair Iraqi revenue-sharing and oil laws can help
to cement this new relationship.
He added, “We are in no doubt that we are acting
constitutionally and legally, and this has been
confirmed by an authoritative legal opinion.” The
KRG will continue to exercise itswww.ekurd.net

and continue with its achievements in oil and gas
sector investment, he said.
