Tishwash: Barzani reveals Iraq’s loss of $5 billion due to the oil cessation
The President of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region, Nechirvan Barzani, said that the cessation of the region’s oil exports caused Iraq to lose $5 billion, indicating that the resumption of oil exports depends on Baghdad.
This came in a press conference held by the President of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region, Nechirvan Barzani, after the end of his meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron.
Nechirvan Barzani said in the press conference, “The resumption of oil exports depends on Baghdad,” adding: “I do not say that the failure to resume oil exports is a political issue, but rather a technical issue,” explaining that “the cessation of the export of oil from the Kurdistan region of Iraq caused Iraq to lose 5 billion dollars.”
He added, “Not exporting oil harms not only the Iraqi Kurdistan region but all of Iraq,” expressing the hope that Baghdad will look at the issue in the same way and “find an appropriate solution for it.”
The President of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region explained regarding his meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron: “We had a good meeting with President Macron,” stressing that “France was a major supporter of Iraq.”
Nechirvan Barzani said, “President Macron expressed his readiness to help solve the problems between Erbil and Baghdad,” pointing out that an invitation was extended to President Macron to visit the Kurdistan region of Iraq, and he will visit the region.
Nechirvan Barzani noted that “there is no excuse left for Baghdad not to send salaries to the Kurdistan Region of Iraq,” stressing that “the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq provided the data to Baghdad transparently,” referring to the data of the Kurdistan Region’s employees.
Regarding the internal situation in the Iraqi Kurdistan region and the relationship with the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan and the upcoming elections, the President of the Iraqi Kurdistan region said that “there is no agreement with the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan to postpone the elections,” adding: “We will meet this week with the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan.”
Nechirvan Barzani stressed: “We are not in favor of postponing the regional parliament elections,” noting: “We have implemented our obligations to hold the region’s elections.”
Regarding the situation in the region, Nechirvan Barzani stated that the problem facing the region “is not only related to the place where it occurs,” but it “certainly affects the entire region.”
He continued: “Our position, and we discussed this with President Macron as well, is the necessity of delivering humanitarian aid as quickly as possible to the people of Gaza, and this is the first step. We believe that those detained by Hamas must be released.”
He stressed the necessity of “finding a strategic solution to this issue in the future, and we believe the correct solution is the two-state solution,” which is “a strategic solution and the only solution,” noting that “it has been proven that war does not solve the problem.”
He went on to say: “We do not want Iraq to become a part of these problems in any way,” stressing the need for “the Prime Minister to play his role as commander of the armed forces, and for all of us to help the Iraqi Prime Minister, so that this issue does not become a problem for Iraq in any way.” link
