"He added that" the recent agreement was an agreement in principle to create an atmosphere to get to resolving the outstanding problems, and therefore there was not a direct negotiation by the ministers of the region who are in the center and by the United Nations to resolve differences, "stressing that" the coming of the delegation today means that it has been significant progress if we know that the visit was scheduled to take place after weeks, not in this very short time"

I think this sentence is important: The visit was scheduled to take place after weeks, not in this very short time.

Iraq, Kurdish region implement deal on oil exports, salaries

(Reuters) - The government of Iraq and the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region have begun implementing a deal under which Baghdad resumes funding Kurdish civil servant salaries in return for a share of Kurdish oil exports, Iraq's finance minister said on Wednesday.

The accord aims to reduce friction between Baghdad and Kurdish authorities as they face a common threat from Islamic State insurgents who have seized large parts of the north and west of the country.

Under the agreement reached last week, Kurdish authorities committed to pump 150,000 barrels per day of oil - around half their overall shipments - to Iraqi government export tanks in the Turkish port of Ceyhan.

Baghdad agreed to pay $500 million towards Kurdish salaries.

Finance Minister Hoshiyar Zebari said that the Kurdish Regional Government began pumping oil to State Oil Marketing Organisation (SOMO) tanks at Ceyhan on Tuesday and the $500 million was transferred on Wednesday.

"This payment will be followed by other payments," Zebari, who is a Kurd, told a news conference in Baghdad.

Baghdad cut the Kurds' share of the budget to punish them for exporting oil without its consent. The region was plunged into financial crisis, but has continued pumping oil through its independent pipeline to Turkey, and exports recently increased to around 300,000 bpd.

Iraqi leaders are under pressure to bury differences in order to counter Islamic State militants who control substantial parts of Iraq and neighboring Syria.

In July, then-foreign minister Zebari said the Kurdish political bloc withdrew from the national government in protest against then-prime minister Nuri al-Maliki's accusation that Kurds were harboring Islamist insurgents in their capital.

The Kurds later rejoined the administration. But tensions persist even after Maliki's replacement by Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, also a Shi'ite Muslim but seen as more moderate and capable of cooperating with Sunni Muslims and Kurds.

There are about 5 million Kurds in majority Arab Iraq, which has a population of more than 30 million. Most live in the north, where they run their own affairs, but remain reliant on Baghdad for a share of the national budget.

I've  not seen photos or confirming stories that the Kurds did indeed go to Baghdad yet. That would be big headlines, no?? An article coming out today, Friday, says "coming days" while another says after the OPEC meeting. I'd expect to see photos of Barzani with Abadi or someone of significance. Nothing yet........

Yes, King Bean, you got the same as I did. I.e. Something happened that made Barzani and his delegation to stay at home. It makes me a bit disturbed that no one admits these drawbacks. A bunch of haussers here? Not reliable in the long run...
