Barzani warns he could dump Maliki


ARBIL: The president of Iraqi Kurdistan, Masoud Barzani, said Iraq had been led in an authoritarian direction by Prime Minister Nouri Al Maliki and threatened to end the oil-rich autonomous region’s participation in the federal government.

The incumbent premier’s rivals, both Shi’ite and Sunni, are hoping Barzani and the Kurds will help them thwart Maliki’s bid to stay in office for four more years.

Barzani said Kurdish parties would meet as soon as the results of the election were officially announced to decide how to proceed in negotiations over the government formation.

The talks could drag on for months.

“All options are on the table,” Barzani told Reuters in an interview on Monday.

“It is time for final decisions. We are not going to wait another decade and go through the same experience again.

“If we boycott the process, we will boycott everything (parliament and the government).” Such a move would be the first of its kind for the Kurds, who have been a partner in the national government since the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, and would put added strain on the country’s already fraying federal unity.

Barzani conceded Maliki was not solely to blame for Iraq’s troubles, but said as prime minister and commander in chief of the armed forces he ultimately bore the responsibility.

“There was no partnership, and it was totalitarianism,” said Barzani of governance in Iraq under Maliki over the past four years.

“He is the number one responsible for it. He was capable of not allowing the whole process to go in that direction.”

“The authorities in Baghdad want to control everything ... It is not acceptable to us. We want to be partners; we don’t want to be subjects.” Barzani emphasised repeatedly his dispute with Maliki, who once fought against deposed dictator Saddam Hussein alongside the Kurds, was “not personal,” said he had changed since becoming prime minister.

“The Maliki that we knew before being in power was different than the Maliki who has been in power,” he said.

Despite the hostilities, some Kurdish officials admit in private a deal could be reached with Maliki, if only to buy time while their region, no longer believing in an alliance with Baghdad, pulls away.

The Kurds are already moving towards economic independence, and late last year finished building an oil pipeline to Turkey that could in theory make them self-sufficient, further riling Baghdad, which slashed funding to the region in revenge.

“Those who cut the budget of Kurdistan are going to pay the price of that decision,” Barzani said.

“If by cutting the budget and blackmailing us they think the Kurds will not continue asking for their legitimate demands, they are wrong.”

Baghdad has threatened dire consequences if exports go ahead without federal consent, but Barzani said there was no going back.

“The political decision has been made that we’re going to sell oil independently,” he said.

“We will continue producing the oil, pumping it out and selling it. If they continue escalating, we will also escalate from our side.”

Barzani made clear that the Kurds could hold a referendum on independence if Baghdad pushed them too far, repeating a threat he has made in the past.

“If they don’t like us to be with them, they should tell us and we will take another path as well,” he said.
