PENTAGON: EXECUTION OF FISCAL YEAR 2018 BUDGET CONTINGENT ON IRAQ, KRG COOPERATION

Peshmerga forces trained by U.S.-led coalition completed ten weeks of military training on Wednesday (July 28, 2016)

SULAIMANI – Pentagon fiscal year 2018 funding request includes support for the Peshmerga forces, a spokesman for defense department said, but implementation of the funded request is "contingent" on cooperation between Iraq and the region.

The U.S., leading a Coalition to defeat Islamic State (ISIS) militants in Iraq and Syria, has supplied the Kurdish forces with thousands of weapons and military equipment during fight against ISIS, almost defeated in Iraq.

Besides provision of weapons and equipment, the U.S. signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Kurdish ministry of Peshmerga in July 2016, which facilitated stipend support during the Mosul operation.

U.S. Defense Department's Spokesman, Eric Pahon told NRT English that the fiscal year 2018 funding request of the defense department includes support for the Peshmerga forces.

"Execution of these requested funds is contingent on operational requirements and GoI [government of Iraq]-KRG cooperation]," he added in an emailed written statement.

Specifically Section 1222 concludes with: The committee notes that funding provided to the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) is to enhance Government of Iraq-KRG cooperation and support a unified effort to counter the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). Such funding should be contingent upon KRG participation in the government of a unified Iraq and on their continued good faith cooperation in the anti-ISIL campaign.

Pahon also said Pentagon does not 'currently fund stipend payments" for the Peshmerga forces, after the 2016 MOU expired in July 2017.

An economic crisis in the Kurdistan Region has further deteriorated after the Iraqi government took security and economic measures against the KRG in the wake of a referendum on independence of Kurdistan in September. In a first reaction to the referendum, Baghdad banned international flights to and from the region, adding more economic pressure on the KRG.

The capture of the oil fields in Kirkuk in mid-October added another burden on the KRG. It effectively stopped crude oil from reaching the oil markets through Turkey's Ceyhan Port.

Earlier on Friday (December 1) a senior Kurdish official said the U.S. would allocate $364 million USD to the Peshmerga forces as assistance, bypassing Baghdad.

However, Pahon said the United States provides support to the Peshmerga forces and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) with "approval of the Government of Iraq."

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) authorizes $1.3 billion for the Counter-ISIS Train and Equip Fund, which includes $365 million as support for the Peshmerga in Fiscal Year 2018, the KRG said in a statement on November 15, hailing the support for the region.

Pentagon and the Coalition forces have supplied the Peshmerga forces with equipment, ammunition, weapons, vehicles, stipends and sustainment support worth $1 billion USD since the beginning of the campaign to defeat ISIS, Pahon stated.

Pahon, however, added they were provided with the approval of the Iraqi government, at that time.

The United States, alongside the Coalition forces, began to support and train the Peshmerga forces when ISIS overran Iraq in 2014.

Head of Kurdistan Regional Government: Baghdad bears responsibility for delaying dialogue

 Baghdad / Range 
 

The President of the Kurdistan Regional Government, Nechirvan Barzani, yesterday, the commitment to the unity of Iraq and the decision of the Federal Supreme Court and solve problems under the Constitution. This came more than two months after the Kurdistan region conducted a referendum on self-determination, which was rejected by Baghdad.

The Supreme Federal Court had issued, two weeks ago, the ruling unconstitutionality of the referendum in Kurdistan. "The court ruled that the referendum on September 25, 2017 is unconstitutional in Kurdistan and the rest of the region outside it and the cancellation of the effects and consequences of it all." 
In another context, Barzani blamed Baghdad for not holding a dialogue with Erbil to resolve the differences and end the sanctions. He considered that the non-ratification of the budget in its current form is better than approval and we hope to reconsider. 
"The invitation we received to visit Paris proves France's support for the Kurdistan region, and the French president confirmed his desire to contribute to resolving the differences between Erbil and Baghdad," Barzani said at a news conference after the meeting of the Kurdistan Regional Council (KRG). "We have not received any information so far on the details of the contact conducted by President Emmanuel Makron with Abadi."
"We would have been happy to travel to France through Baghdad, but unfortunately this did not happen," he said. "There are no technical or political negotiations with Baghdad today, despite our repeated calls to conduct the dialogue and the reason for this is a question that the Iraqi government must answer," he said. 
"We have affirmed our commitment to the unity of Iraq and the decision of the Federal Supreme Court and solve problems under a constitution that guarantees the rights of all," Barzani said. 
The prime minister of the region, "Abadi must be aware of the magnitude of responsibility and that the actions taken against Kurdistan harm part of the Iraqi people," adding that "what Baghdad is doing against Kurdistan has nothing to do with the referendum." 
Barzani pointed out that "Baghdad is taking advantage of the opportunity before it to destroy the political entity of the Kurdistan region," adding that "the draft budget prepared now is a proof of that." He stressed that "
"The absence of a better budget than the current project of the budget." He pointed out that "the territorial government told the International Monetary Fund, that Iraq needs the budget law in a way that reflects everyone." 
And reduced the share of the province in the budget of 2018 to 12.67% instead of 17%, which is the percentage received by the federal government since 2006. 
Asked about the date of elections in the region, Barzani said that "the date of the elections will be determined soon," adding that " The current committed to two legislative sessions, and after dialogue with political parties, we will determine the date of the elections. "
And on his meeting with the US ambassador in Iraq, the head of the provincial government that the latter "talked about a joint mechanism for dialogue between Baghdad and Erbil, and the need to participate in the region according to the Constitution." He added that "the territorial government believes that Iraqi-US coordination is incomplete, and we welcome a joint mechanism between the three parties in the disputed areas, between the Kurdistan region, Iraq and the United States." 
In the context of the region's relations with regional countries, Barzani stressed that "the relationship with Turkey is natural and continuous, and did not stop," stressing that "meetings with Turkish officials can be held when necessary." 
And on the relationship with Iran, said the head of the government of the region, "it did not open border crossings, with the region," stressing the continuation of the work of his government to "reopen the crossings, because there is no justification to close them." "Re-opening them is also in Iran's interests," he said.
On the other hand, Barzani demanded that the international community "to help the displaced people of Kirkuk and Tuzhurmato, and to investigate what happened to the Kurds, and the accountability of those who exceeded their property, and open an investigation file of the violations that occurred in the judiciary after the displacement of more than 100 thousand people."

US Ambassador: Our presence in Kirkuk has not been noticed by anyone

 Baghdad / Range 
 

The US ambassador to Iraq, Douglas Seelman, said yesterday that his country's forces have been in Kirkuk for a long time, adding that what was raised recently about this is the transfer of equipment to the base of Ki-Wan. 

He denied the US ambassador to reach an agreement with the Iraqi side on the increase or reduction of the number of international coalition forces after the stage of urging. 
A deputy from Kirkuk, revealed on the 29th of last November, the arrival of US troops of the International Alliance to the base "Key One". 
The Joint Operations Command denied last Thursday that US forces were moving towards Kirkuk, asserting that responsibility for security in Kirkuk is a function of federal forces and local police in the province. 
"Our troops have been in Kirkuk long before the events in Kirkuk in mid-October, but that was not noticed," Ambassador Douglas Silliman told Iraqi media. 
"What the media reported about the presence of US troops is simply the transfer of equipment to and from al-Qaeda," Sileman said,
"There is no agreement with Iraq to keep, increase or withdraw our troops in the post-Saddam era, but there are discussions," he said. 
"The battle with Da'ash has turned into a new form of insurgency and terrorism, as happened in Kirkuk and Tuz Khurmato," he said. 
A spokesman for the International Coalition Col. Ryan Dillon, confirmed two days after the denial of joint operations, the arrival of US troops to the base of Ki One west of Kirkuk to participate in preventing tensions in some areas of the province. He pointed out that the international coalition forces will redeploy in Iraq.
A Kurdish deputy told Al-Mada on Saturday that the return of the international coalition forces to the province comes according to an agreement governing the joint tripartism of the disputed areas. It is likely that the coming days will witness a gradual spread of these forces in the disputed areas. 
These developments come days after the disclosure of the presence of armed organizations in the south of Kirkuk, may be a substitute for a supporter. There is growing concern about the worsening situation in Tuzharmatu after the displacement of some 9,000 Kurdish families to extrajudicial areas. 
The administration of the Ki-One camp moved between the Peshmerga forces, which were handed over after the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, and then was taken over by the federal forces during the recent military campaign, and the camp returned to foreign forces.
