Parliamentary power: Kurds did not provide a convincing justification for non-commitment to pay oil money


Recommended Posts

Iraq has once again extended by three months a ban on international flights to and from the Kurdish region, some five months after the region held a controversial referendum on independence, which opened up a persisting rift between the semi-autonomous region and the central government in Baghdad.

“We have been informed by the civil aviation authority in Baghdad that the ban on international flights to and from Erbil and Sulaymaniyah airports has been extended until the end of May,” AFP quoted an unnamed senior official at Erbil International Airport in the region’s capital as saying on Monday.

Tensions flared up between Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdish region and the central government in Baghdad after the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) held a highly controversial plebiscite on independence on September 25 last year despite strong opposition from Baghdad, the international community, and Iraq's neighboring countries, especially Turkey and Iran.

Following the provocative vote, Baghdad imposed a ban on direct international flights to and from the Kurdish region and called for a halt to its independent crude oil sales. The KRG at the time described such measures as “collective punishment.”

Back in December, Baghdad announced that the northern region’s direct air links with the outside would remained cut for two more months, a punitive measure, which is to run until Wednesday, but according to the official, who was speaking on condition of anonymity, the authorities have decided to renew it for three more months.

The official, however, added that “only internal flights are authorized.”

Meanwhile, Saad al-Hadithi, a spokesman for Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi’s office, confirmed that the ban had been extended, but said that “no date had been set to lift the ban.”

“It will depend on the transfer of the airport's administration to the federal government and when that will be done, the ban will be lifted,” he further noted.

According to Hadithi, some “progress” has been achieved during talks with the Kurdish side on a number of issues, including customs, passports and visas.

“But the issue of the control of security at the airports has not been solved yet, although there is a will to reach a solution to this problem,” he added.

Since the air ban was enforced, all Kurdistan-bound international flights have been rerouted to Baghdad, which has also imposed entry visas to foreigners wishing to visit the Kurdistan region.

In October, Iraqi federal forces retook control of the Kurdish-held city of Kirkuk and many disputed territories in response to the Kurdish referendum. Kirkuk is not one of the three provinces that have made up the Kurdish region since 2003. However, Kurdish militants used a vacuum created when government troops were fighting against Daesh terrorists to overtake the oil-rich city.

Luigi's opine...

It looks more & more like the Kurds & GOI are at odds.

Any Guru that says everything is done on Baghdad's side is lying.

This isn't looking good for an Erbil, HCL or 2018 Budget deals.

To make matters worse, Parliament isn't even showing up for work.

When the do show up for work, fists fly. IMO.

Barzani pleased: Americans are aware that the Kurdistan Region is an important part of the Middle East
 

Said the pleased Barzani, adviser to the Security Council of the Kurdistan Region, that America always stresses the importance of relations with the Kurdistan Region and its continuation, and seeks to overcome any differences as they occur, noting that the United States «recognizes that the Kurdistan Region an important position in the Middle East».

On his visit to the United States of America, Barzani said in a press statement: "The purpose of the visit is to discuss a number of important issues, such as the relations between the Kurdistan Region and America, the situation in Iraq and improving relations between Baghdad and Erbil.

"So far, we have had many meetings and meetings on these issues, with US officials in the White House and others, including a special meeting with Herbert McMaster, the US national security adviser, and there have been several meetings at the US State Department, and there will be other meetings with Members of the Senate and House of Representatives ».

During his visit to Washington several days ago, Barzani met senior US officials, including national security adviser Herbert McMaster, the US representative to the coalition, Brett McCurk, deputy assistant secretary of state Jonathan Cohen, and others.

On the substance of his meetings with US officials, the adviser of the Security Council of the Kurdistan Region: «First of all, we discussed the general situation in the Kurdistan Region, and our relations with Baghdad formed a major part of those talks, and we told them that the Kurdistan Region has done what is on the shoulders, Iraqi and all its materials, and we stressed that it is necessary to implement the Iraqi government duties, especially with regard to sending salaries of employees of the Kurdistan Region and the opening of airports in the region ».

The dialogues and meetings that took place between the officials of Erbil and Baghdad have no tangible results on the ground, with regard to resolving the existing problems and lifting the punitive measures imposed by the Iraqi government on the territory after the referendum.

Barzani pointed out that the Americans always emphasize that «relations with the Kurdistan Region are important and specificity, and are always seeking to develop them, and express their willingness to resolve the differences that sometimes witness these relations», and «They are convinced that the Kurdistan Region is an important part of the Middle East and important .

As for the organization of the preacher, said pleased Barzani: «Da'ash militarily defeated, and liberated the areas occupied by, but this does not mean that the duel has ended definitively, because it seeks to rise again in many areas, and carried out so far many attacks on security forces in Kirkuk.

Despite the announcement by Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Abadi, the end of the "final victory" on the organization, but the deteriorating security conditions in many areas confirm the continued threat of organization.

Barzani stressed that «in order to eliminate the preacher and the sublime Daash, must find a solution to the factors that encourage the emergence of such terrorist organizations, but Iraq has not yet to do so».

"The referendum was an expression of a nation about its future options for living and how it wants to live," Barzani said. "This does not mean that we are not realistic, or that we are not. "We believed that the referendum would cut the way for the unjust attacks that the Kurdistan Region was subjected to," he added. "We needed international guarantees to stop the bloodshed and disasters that had been solved by the Kurdish people for decades. Unfortunately the order was interpreted differently, and we are s Lighter that this interpretation was intended, it was always there are efforts to reduce the powers of the territory of the Kurdistan Region, and to this end have taken the referendum as a pretext, otherwise what was the referendum process to cause any form unjust attack on this level on the Kurdistan Region ».

Abadi continues in the policy of my arm against Kurdistan .. And his book market justifications unconvincing
 

Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi's office on Monday tried to ease the criticisms and reactions of denouncing and abhorrent reports on the extension of Abadi to the air embargo imposed on international flights to and from the airports of the Kurdistan Region, saying that Erbil and Baghdad were " "The time limits are routine," he said, adding that once the understandings and agreements were finalized, the suspension would be terminated, denying news of the extension of the ban.

The Iraqi government extended the air embargo imposed on the Kurdistan region for another three months (until the end of May), the director of Arbil International Airport Telar Faiq said Monday. 
Saad al-Hadithi, a spokesman for the office of Abbadi, said in a statement (Basneoz),
that the news that the extension of the air embargo on airports in the Kurdistan region is not true and no official decision to do so.

"The time limits are routine and once agreements and agreements are reached with the provincial government, the suspension will be terminated," he said. 
Adding "progress has been made with regard to the agreement on the supervision of the Federal Ports Authority border on the management of the customs sector at the airports of Sulaymaniyah and Erbil, as well as progress in relation to the administration of passports and residence and visas," he said.

It is considered by many political observers that the pressure and procrastination and procrastination exercised by the Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Abadi in dealing with the Kurdistan region, comes within the framework of the policy of the arm of the region, which will eventually end, according to these ultimately lose, and the Kurdish street no longer trust his promises Which has not been implemented and not one of them.

"We have another aspect related to the security management of these two airports and there are ongoing meetings to resolve this issue," al-Hadithi said. Pointing out that "the resolution will end the suspension of international flights to the airports of the region (Arbil and Sulaymaniyah) by the federal government." Stressing that "the two airports will be opened if the commitment of the territorial government to these demands whether this commitment is achieved after a week or a month."

The Iraqi government, as part of its collective punishment against the people of Kurdistan against the background of the referendum on independence from Iraq, in which the Kurds voted by an absolute majority in favor of it, suspended international flights to and from the airports of Erbil and Sulaymaniyah, as of September 29, 2017 and allow only domestic flights.

Kurdish officials say Baghdad appears to be seeking to isolate them internationally. Despite calls by Washington and other influential European capitals for Baghdad to maintain the constitutional entity of the Kurdistan Region and lift the collective punishment imposed on him by the government of Abbadi.

Arbil has recently witnessed protests organized by civilian patients and Peshmerga wounded to demand that Baghdad lift the ban on regional airports so that they can be treated abroad.

The Kurdish deputy in the Iraqi parliament has recently strongly criticized the Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Abadi because of the failure to fulfill his promises to the Kurdistan Region, describing him as "the most political figure engaged in deception and lying" throughout the political history in Iraq.

"I tell Prime Minister Haider al-Abbadi that there is not over," said Bakhtiar Shaways, MP of the Kurdistan National Union bloc, in a press statement amidst crowds of teachers and teachers protesting in Sulaymaniyah who had gathered in front of the Iraqi parliament's office in the city recently. Iraq's political history is someone who is not sincere in carrying out his promises like you. "
