Erbil: «Asharq Al-Awsat»

The President of the Kurdistan Regional Government, Masrour Barzani, confirmed that the problem between Erbil and Baghdad is not technical and not related to numbers but rather political. This came during a press conference held by the head of the regional government yesterday to talk about the latest developments in the relationship with the federal government.

Masrour Barzani confirmed that he would not accept the transfer of the entire region's oil production to Baghdad. He said that this is unconstitutional and will not be acceptable, according to the agency "Reuters". It is noteworthy that Erbil and Baghdad had previously agreed to transfer about 250 thousand barrels per day from Kurdistan, out of a total production of about 400 thousand barrels per day.

Regarding his personally going to Baghdad to oversee the dialogue with the federal government, Masrour Barzani said, “I went to Baghdad at the beginning, and they told us at the time that the problems are technical and related to numbers, so we prepared an equipped delegation with experience to prove to Baghdad that our problem is not technical, and not related to numbers. Rather, the problem is political, "according to what was reported by the" Rudaw "media network.

The President of the Kurdistan Regional Government indicated that “during the visits of the Kurdistan Region delegation to Baghdad, he put all the numbers on the table and negotiated with the concerned parties in the federal government and all the political blocs,” adding that “every time the same result was reached, It is that this is the right of the Kurdistan region ».

He continued: «Later they said that the problem is political, but this period was sufficient for us to prove that the problem is not numbers and not a technical problem, and not the Kurdistan Region’s failure to fulfill its obligations, in an attempt to place the blame on the Kurdistan region», pointing out that «this shows Iraq and the world As a whole, the Kurdistan Regional Government has not left any argument before the federal government ». And he considered that "the ball is now in the court of the federal government," adding, "About myself, I am ready to go as soon as possible to Baghdad."
