Al-Madinah News:- The Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq, Masrour Barzani, confirmed on Tuesday that the region’s support for the new government headed by Muhammad Shi’a Al-Sudani.
According to the Iraqi News Agency, Barzani requested “conscious” political support for the Iraqi Prime Minister at the 2022 Middle East Forum in Erbil.
He further requested that Baghdad and Erbil cooperate to overcome the unresolved issues, pointing out that the energy issue with Baghdad would be resolved if the oil and gas law was passed.
He also expressed the region’s readiness to solve its problems with Baghdad according to the constitution, stressing that it is resolved by a political decision, adding: “I am ready to visit Baghdad for dialogue.
“It is significant that the Federal Supreme Court ruled in February of last year that the oil law Kurdistan approved in 2007 to control this crucial industry was illegal.
Additionally, it compelled the nation’s highest court to turn over all oil production to the federal government, as represented by the Federal Oil Ministry.
Additionally, the decision, which was made in response to two complaints lodged in 2012 and 2019, one of which was submitted, was published on the court’s website “.
While the Kurdistan government considered in a statement that the court’s decision is “unfair and unconstitutional”, stressing that it will take “all constitutional, legal and judicial measures to ensure and protect all contracts concluded in the field of oil and gas. ”
It is interesting that this contentious issue has come up time and time again, with Baghdad insisting that the federal government will handle any oil exports that are extracted on Iraqi territory.
The Kurdistan region had previously pledged to deliver 250 thousand barrels of its daily production, which exceeds 400 thousand barrels of the central government through the Ministry of Oil, in exchange for obtaining the salaries of Kurdish officials and Peshmerga fighters, the armed forces of the region, but this pledge witnessed some setbacks.
