Barzani from France: the subject of the referendum ended and ready to help Baghdad

 

Barzani, you had your chance 2-3 months ago to end this referendum talk an also ignored many world leaders advice against it an you let it continue. Now you suffer the consequences of that decision an I'm sure Abadi is LHAO behind closed doors about it.

The Kurdistan region as you have known it will no longer exist, your region will be no different than Basra or Mosul. The GOI will be paying your salaries, collecting fees from entry points an controlling ALL oil in your region. We will also pay your region whatever the hell we decide out of the 2018 budget and everyone after it.

Article 140 and the HCL will be negotiated according to the Iraq Constitution of which you will adhere to an we don't need France or any other country telling the GOI how to interpret it....

All this in my opinion of course...But I think this is what Abadi will be telling Barzani behind closed doors...lol
