Kurdistan Region has right
to export its oil, says Gorran
Erbil: The Gorran List in the Iraqi parliament said
the Kurdistan Region has a right to export oil
produced from its soil. Mohammed Tofiq said: "The
political situation in the country is moving towards
the worst because there is no intention by the
parties to talk seriously and find solutions." Tofiq
added that oil export is the right of the Kurdistan
Region but through understanding, because without
understanding the crisis in Iraq will be
exacerbated. The office of Iraq’s Deputy Prime
Minister for Energy Hussein al-Shahristani said a
few days ago that the Kurdistan Regional Government
or other provinces in Iraq have no right to sign
deals with foreign companies to export oil, gas or
petroleum products. Last Thursday world news
agencies reported that the Kurdistan Regional
Government began tracking exports oil to turkey. The
Kurdistan Region's Minister of Natural Resources
Ashti Hawrami said in conference in Istanbul last
Wednesday that the regional government will export
oil to Turkey within two years. aknews.com
