Sorry all, but reports are coming out that this is not true, ( if we really thought it would be that easy )

Though progress is being made, there appears to still be a significant gap between the two sides, made evident by their separate interpretations of their discussions.

"What they have said in the statement is in fact untrue. We never talked about such things," Barzani asserted about Abadi's comments on oil.

Kurdistan Erbil Baghdad Relations Nechirvan Barzani 

 

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region (Kurdistan 24) – The Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) on Thursday refuted remarks made by his Iraqi counterpart’s office about the handover of Kurdistan’s oil exports exclusively through the state-run SOMO company.

Speaking to the press in Davos, Switzerland at the World Economic Forum (WEF), KRG Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani said he had a “productive meeting” with Iraqi PM Haider al-Abadi, and that both sides would hold another meeting next week.

The Iraqi Prime Minister’s Office, however, issued a statement following the meeting claiming the KRG had agreed to hand over oil exports to Iraqi authorities. During his speech on Thursday, Abadi reiterated that same point.

Responding to the Iraqi government’s claims, Prime Minister Barzani said that “the statement they [Iraqi PM's office] issued is far from the truth, we did not even discuss the matter [oil dossier] at all, and they should not have issued such a statement.”

“The Kurdistan Region’s position is clear; we want to resolve all issues within the framework of the Iraqi Constitution,” the KRG Prime Minister affirmed.

“We had several meetings with world leaders, including a short meeting with Abadi, on the sidelines of the WEF in Davos,” Prime Minister Barzani told reporters.

The Prime Minister added that reopening Kurdistan’s airports, the salary payment of KRG employees, dams, and updates on the committees formed to resolve the pending issues was discussed during the meeting with Abadi.

“We have agreed to hold another meeting next week to discuss the oil dossier to resolve the issues,” Barzani stated, noting that “we cannot expect all problems to be resolved at once.”

He mentioned that the disputes between Erbil and Baghdad were “big,” but it was possible to resolve all matters related to salaries and airports before Iraqi elections are held in May.

I get the sense that Barzani is using the upcoming election to leverage Baghdad Into giving Erbil what they want . The brinkmanship and games are off the charts . This disagreement at Davos is not a good showing for confidence either

What is the secret of international pressure that prompted Abadi to meet with Barzani?

 

 

 

The Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) headed by Massoud Barzani on Thursday expressed optimism about the recent meetings between Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi and Kurdistan Regional Government President Najirvan Barzani, pointing to international and regional pressure that led the latter to sit at the dialogue table . 

"The international and regional pressure exerted on Prime Minister Haider al-Abbadi prompted him to sit at the dialogue table," MP Najeeb Najib said in a press statement. "The dialogue that will be between Baghdad and Erbil is the existence of all these problems ."

Najib said that "the repeated meetings between Abadi and Barzani mean there is more understanding and therefore the way to reach a solution will be shorter," saying that "Baghdad has recently realized that the problems can be addressed only through the government of the Territory ."

 

Prime Minister Haider Abadi met on Wednesday evening with the head of the Kurdistan government Najirvan Barzani on the sidelines of the Davos International Conference, a few days after the first meeting in Baghdad since the referendum on September 25 last .

I'm at a loss as to what the hold up is at this point when they all have so much to gain from moving forward! It's like 98% of it all is done, and Barzani just wants to be a big ol hold out instead of going along with Baghdad like he keeps saying the Kurds want to do. If they are still arguing over the 17% vs 11% then get it in writing that Baghdad pays them the other 5% if the numbers are supporting their claim to the 17%. But for googness sake, make a stupid move instead of digging your feet in and refusing to budge! Stupidity from distrust at its finest on Barzani's end.  Get over it Barzani!!!

Ya Abadi waited and waited to say that ISIS was out of Iraq before he even said anything in public that they were. That's why this is a little wierd to me that he would jump to say this in public if it wasn't true.

Nechervan Barzani responds to the office of Abadi on the delivery of oil to the region (Sumo)

 

   

 

 

 

The head of the Kurdistan Regional Government, Nigirvan Barzani, on Thursday, said that "a statement in the statement of Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Abadi on the delivery of oil to the Iraqi oil marketing company (Somo) is far from health."

Barzani said in an interview with the press on the sidelines of the Davos conference currently in Switzerland on January 25, 2018 the importance of meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Abadi during their attendance, expressing surprise at the statement of the Office of Abadi on the agreement to resolve the problems and the delivery of Kurdistan oil.

He added: "We were surprised by the statement of the office of Abadi about the meeting that took place between us in Davos," noting that "the statement of the office of Abadi touched on things we did not discuss originally, and we have been accused of that."

The Abadi press office issued a statement saying that "Abadi met on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Kurdistan Regional Government President Nigirvan Barzani and his deputy, Qubad Talabani, where the meeting witnessed the confirmation of what was reached at the last meeting in Baghdad to maintain unity and sovereignty Iraq, and that the citizens of the region are part of the Iraqi people, and the importance of the re-activation of all federal authorities in the region, including border ports and airports, and the continuation of the work of the competent committees to open airports after the completion of all procedures to return the entire federal authorities to it, To be under federal control as one of the exclusive powers of the federal authority. "

The statement of the Office of Abbadi said that "was stressed the commitment to the boundaries of the territory stipulated by the Constitution and the importance of delivering oil extracted to the federal authorities and be the exclusive export of oil by the federal government through the company Sumo, and complete the work of the commissions that review the salaries of staff of the region, Access to eligible employees and subject to the supervision of the Federal Audit Bureau.

Deputy for it: three administrative units in Nineveh is still under the control of the Peshmerga

 

   

 

 

Nineveh provincial governor Haneen Qaddu revealed on Friday the existence of three administrative units in the province, which is still under the control of the Peshmerga forces, and asked about the role of the federal government to remove these forces and impose control over those units.

 

Qado said in a press statement that "there are three administrative units and their dependencies are still under the control of the Peshmerga, and we are surprised that no action taken by the federal government towards these forces and take them to impose federal control."

 

Al-Qaddo expressed his fear of "political deals in order to keep these Kurdish forces in these units."

 

He added that "the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, Haider Abadi, oblige those Kurdish forces to withdraw, and return within the (blue line), and end the sovereign file for any political or other deals."
