The crude oil arrived at the warehouses owned by the oil marketing company (SOMO) in the Turkish port of Ceyhan from the Kurdistan pipeline for the first time since June. The source said 90,000 barrels had reached the company’s warehouses.
As of June, the KRG was pumping about 600,000 barrels every 10 days to Sumo’s warehouses. The central government-owned pipeline in Baghdad has been closed since 2014.
It was not immediately clear why the inflows to Sumo warehouses had resumed. Flows across the pipeline have fluctuated around 200,000 bpd compared to the usual highs of around 600,000 bpd.
The main oil fields closed Bayan Hassan and Afana overnight on Tuesday, causing a decline in production by 350 thousand barrels per day. Iraqi officials in the oil sector blamed the Kurdish crew responsible for the pumping stations, saying they had left without handing over work at the stations and taking equipment with them.

Baghdad is waiting for Erbil to resolve its position on the handing over of Fishkhabour and the border crossing

 Baghdad / AFP 
 

The federal government is waiting for the KRG's response to the offer made by its representatives in Saturday's talks with a Kurdish delegation.

After a meeting that lasted for several hours, Lieutenant-General Othman al-Ghanmi, the chief of staff of the army, announced "acceptable progress", but pointed out that there were sticking points between the two sides that would be resolved by the territorial government. 
On Friday evening, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi ordered "the cessation of the movement of military forces for 24 hours" in the disputed areas "to prevent clashes and bloodshed among the sons of one nation."
The meeting was held at the headquarters of Nineveh Operations. The meeting was attended by: Lieutenant General Osman al-Ghanmi, Chief of Staff of the Iraqi Army, Lieutenant General Abdul Ghani al-Asadi, Commander of the Counter-Terrorism Bureau, In addition to military intelligence, national security and Iraqi intelligence officials. On the Peshmerga side, Jabbar Yawar, Secretary General of the Peshmerga Ministry, Karim Sinjari, Minister of the Interior of the Kurdistan Region, and the Minister of the Peshmerga, Serwan Barzani, Commander of the Makhmour Operations, Jamal Aymanki, one of the leaders of the Peshmerga forces, Aziz Wissi, Commander of the seventy forces of Peshmerga. 
"There is an acceptable progress, but the final decision is linked to the second Kurdish delegation," Lieutenant General Othman al-Ghanmi told AFP as he left Ninewa Operations headquarters.
"We have reached a common understanding in some points, and some points commented on the answer to them until the return to the region and to express opinion and contact us." 
The chief of staff of the army that "the ceasefire is 24 hours, and in the coming hours if no agreement is reached, there is a second opinion," without further details. 
The Kurdish delegation made no statement to the media after the meeting. 
Saad al-Hadithi, a spokesman for the prime minister, said the move was intended to "allow a joint technical team between the federal forces and the forces of the region to work on the ground to deploy Iraqi federal forces in all disputed areas, including Vishkhabur and international borders." 
Al-Hadithi told AFP that "the mission of the main joint team is to prepare for the deployment of federal forces in the border areas without clashes."
"There are meetings between the leaders of the federal forces and Peshmerga to redeploy in these border areas smoothly and smoothly." 
Tensions between Baghdad and Erbil rose a month ago when the region organized a referendum on independence, with the result "yes" overwhelmingly. Heavy artillery battles on Thursday between the Peshmerga and Iraqi forces heading to the border crossing with Turkey to secure the pipeline to the Turkish port of Ceyhan. 
Al-Hadithi said, "We seek to avoid clashes and bloodshed and lives. In this sense, the Prime Minister decided to stop the movement of the federal sectors to allow the team to prepare the ground for the completion of redeployment and the extension of federal powers."
According to the government spokesman, the technical team consists of military leaders specializing in the area and borders and works to "ensure the deployment of federal forces on the border of the Blue Line defined by the Constitution and separate the territory and federal lands." 
The Blue Line of the province includes only the cities of Sulaymaniyah, Halabja, Dohuk and Erbil, while Kurdish authorities have expanded since 2003 in Kirkuk, Ninewa, Diyala and Salahuddin. 
Al-Hadithi stressed that "the goal of the Iraqi forces to redeploy to the area of Vishkhabur on the Iraqi-Turkish border." 
Located at the head of a border triangle between the Turkish, Iraqi and Syrian territories, Vishkabur is considered strategic especially for Kurds. 
The Peshmerga forces took control of the oil pipeline from the Kirkuk province through Mosul in Nineveh province, following the chaos that followed the large-scale attack by Dahedesh three years ago.

Washington and Paris are pressing Baghdad and Erbil to resolve their differences

 Baghdad / Mohammed Sabah 
 

Kurdish media revealed the existence of pressure exerted by the United States and France on both Baghdad and Erbil to end the current crisis and reach common understandings of all outstanding issues.

The circles acknowledged that Baghdad's decision to stop the advance of federal forces in the disputed areas was the result of efforts by US Secretary of State Rex Tilerson, who urged the Prime Minister and the President of the Kurdistan region to agree on joint administration of the port of Vishkhabur and disputed areas 
. 
The Prime Minister, in his capacity as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, issued a directive on Friday to suspend the advance of security forces towards the border port of Fishkhabur for 24 hours, to allow a technical team between the federal forces and the forces of the region to reach an agreement. 
US Secretary of State Rex Tilerson urged Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi and the Kurdistan Region president, during telephone conversations with them on Thursday evening, to communicate to begin direct negotiations to resolve the current crisis between the two sides.
"The meeting held in the city of Mosul was between a military delegation representing the Kurdistan Regional Government and another representing the federal government to negotiate on how to manage the disputed areas in a joint way by both sides," said Kifah Mahmood, . 
"The US Secretary of State asked Baghdad to resort to the option of negotiating with Erbil to solve all the problems and differences," he said.
"The initiative of the Kurdistan region has been welcomed by Saudi Arabia, the United States and France, 
On Wednesday, the Kurdistan Regional Government proposed an initiative calling for a ceasefire and all military operations in the Kurdistan region, with a freeze on the results of the referendum held on September 25 in Iraqi Kurdistan and the start of a dialogue between the federal government and the federal government according to the Iraqi constitution.
In turn, MP Salim Hamza, a member of the Kurdistan Islamic Group in the parliament, that "the US Secretary of State played a major role in bringing the views of the federal government and the Kurdistan region, and ended these efforts to meet political and military delegations between the two teams." 
In an interview with Al-Mada, Salim Hamza said that "the US State Department demanded the parties to end the current crisis through the entry of federal forces to the port of Fishkhabur and the management of the disputed areas in a joint manner." He expected the parties to reach "compromise solutions." 
And intensify the political parties, including deputies and ministers, from its daily contacts with the federal government and the Kurdish leaders in preparation for the start of direct dialogues between the parties, but that clashes with Baghdad insistence on canceling the results of the referendum in exchange for Erbil's reservation on the delivery of border ports and airports and 
financial revenues .

Iraq, October 29, 2017 

As soon as the city of Kirkuk fell to the Iraqi government after Peshmerga withdrew and pulled out its forces in mid-October, the UK government asked British Petroleum (BP) to begin work at Kirkuk oilfields which are currently under Baghdad’s control.

BP had tried to operate in Kikuk in 2003, but stopped after the Kurdish government said that operations there must be done in coordination with Erbil given the nature of the legal status territories.

Lord Rennard, member of the British House of Lords believes the BP must consider the fact that Kirkuk is a disputed territory between Erbil and Baghdad. He also criticized his government for turning its back on Kurds.

 

A number of oilfields, which Erbil spent large amounts of money on, fell to Baghdad after the Iraqi army and Iran-backed militias launched an incursion into Kirkuk, leading to Peshmerga withdrawal from the city.

President Barzani: There was a plan to destabilize Kurdistan

By Rudaw 1 hour ago

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – Kurdistan Region President Masoud Barzani has resigned with the message that he remains a Peshmerga, committed to the Kurdish cause and confident that one day Kurds will see independence.
 
His last months in office saw the Kurdistan Region reach elevated highs after the independence referendum, but tumble to disastrous lows when Iraqi forces took over disputed areas and internal disputes erupted.
 
In a televised address three days before the end of his term as president, Barzani reiterated that he refuses any extension to his time in office beyond November 1, but he pledged to remain with his people, serving as a Peshmerga in the struggle for independence.
 
With respect to Baghdad’s military maneuvers this month, Barzani opined that such events would have occurred even without the referendum. He said that Baghdad postponed the Hawija offensive intentionally in order to build up forces ready to mobilize against Kurdistan.
 
“Even if the referendum wasn’t held, there was a plan to attack Kurdistani areas and destabilize the situation in the Kurdistan Region. The culture in Baghdad hasn’t changed,” he said, adding that the central government does not believe in federalism.
 
He said the use of Iraqi forces in a political struggle is unconstitutional and a continuation of the same mentality and culture of genocide against the Kurds.
 
Barzani offered that Kurdistan sought dialogue and still favours dialogue, but “vain” authorities in Baghdad sought war, especially the Shiite militias, and the Peshmerga were forced to defend themselves.
 
“We don’t want bloodshed. We want the problems to be resolved through dialogue. But if you intend to wage war, we will choose death and won’t allow our honor to be broken,” Barzani said, adding that he hopes Baghdad will be ready to talk.
 
He blamed the quick Kurdish retreat from the majority of the disputed areas on “treason,” saying Kirkuk was handed over to the Iraqis.  
 
“The Peshmerga and all the people of Kurdistan were stabbed in the back by a poisonous dagger,” he said. 
 
Despite the problems, he said that no one can erase the voices of three million people calling for independence. 

The Kurdistan Region, some of the disputed or Kurdistani areas claimed by Erbil and Baghdad, and the diaspora participated in the September 25 referendum to support independence. Nearly 93 percent of ballots indicated 'Yes' for independence.

Iraqi forces including the Iran-backed Hashd al-Shaabi paramilitaries began taking control of the disputed areas on October 15. They want to impose federal control on borders, waterways, and oil fields. 

Barzani emotionally campaigned in favor of holding the referendum despite calls from the international community to postpone the vote.

His term was last extended in August 2015 until such time as elections are held. Barzani called for presidential and parliamentary elections to be held on November 1 - a date that was subsequently postponed by parliament.

He submitted a letter to parliament on Saturday, announcing his resignation.

Barzani: What happened in Kirkuk treason and America stood up spectator [expanded]

Release date: 2017/10/29 22:25 • 362 times read

[Ayna-Baghdad] 
The head of the Kurdistan region, outgoing, Massoud Barzani, in a speech, on Sunday, we were subjected to treason on the night of 16 of this month. In reference to the withdrawal of Peshmerga forces, pointing out that Baghdad has taken from the referendum argument to attack the Kurdistan region.

Barzani said in a televised speech after the approval of the Parliament of Kurdistan in its evening on the distribution of powers of the President of the region, "We tried a lot to go back to the Constitution with Baghdad and other parties, but that did not happen, we had expected to enter Iraq into a new phase after 2013, And democracy, but Iraq began to back away from the implementation of the Constitution and its provisions and laws and returned to the application of the authority of one party, and told us that the international coalition situation has become serious and said to them Let us be friendly neighbors and solve all the problems.
"The Peshmerga played a pivotal role in the liberation operations of Mosul and was able to destroy an empire that encouraged all delegations. When they came to the region, they praised the position and heroism of the Peshmerga and the Kurdish people," he said. Without the help of the Peshmerga, Iraqi forces would have been unable to liberate Mosul. Even when the Hawija liberation operations began, Baghdad was delaying and gathering military forces to attack Kirkuk. "
"I said in my speeches before the referendum that we may have a lot of pressure after the referendum. Freedom needs to be sacrificed. No one can wipe out the votes of 3 million people who demanded independence, but we did not expect to be betrayed on the night of the 16th of the month. "We knew that there were plans to attack Kirkuk even if the referendum did not take place. However, this great betrayal led to the collapse of the morale of the Peshmerga and the people of Kurdistan."
"What we did not expect was that the so-called US terrorists would attack the Kurdish people using the American Abrams tanks, and here we ask America whether it is collective punishment for the people of Kurdistan or another attempt to record a year's killing and another carnage in Kurdistan. Our forces in the Peshmerga have withdrawn from the areas to stop the deaths, but the Iraqi forces, especially the popular crowd, crosses the border and does not respect them and vanity. All that is happening now is to break the prestige of the people of Kurdistan and not to enforce the constitution. H against the people! ".
"If you want to break the prestige and dignity of the people of Kurdistan and impose your will by force, I assure you that we are prepared to sacrifice our lives and not to allow anyone to touch our dignity and the last breath," Barzani said. "The Peshmerga tried to avoid fighting and bloodshed, but the excesses of the crowd in the past few days pushed the Peshmerga into resistance, clashes in Makhmour, other areas and casualties." 
"I will continue to serve him and the Peshmerga have the highest of all positions. I will always be with my people, and I call on all the people of Kurdistan to unite and unite ranks," Barzani said.

Barzani deposed the presidency of the province with a speech to step down betraying the friends of yesterday

 

 Since 2017-10-29 at 20:09 (Baghdad time)

BAGHDAD (Reuters 
) - Iraqi Kurdistan President Massoud Barzani announced on Sunday (October 29, 2017) that he would step down after his failure to gain independence and secede the region, prompting the Iraqi government to regain the majority of land occupied by Barzani in the wake of an offensive attack. 
In a highly tense atmosphere, parliamentarians met in a closed session today, during which a message was read from Barzani announcing that he would not continue in office after November 1, in the wake of an unprecedented crisis between Erbil and Baghdad . 
"After November 1, I will not continue in this post, and I refuse to continue," Barzani said in his letter. 
"The Kurdish independence referendum was aimed at finding peaceful solutions to the problems with the Iraqi government," he said in a speech that included a letter to step down.
He added that "Iraq no longer believes in the rights of the Kurds and uses the referendum as a pretext to attack Kurdistan," noting that the referendum "can not be erased at all." 
Barzani blamed the accusations of Kurdish leaders in Sulaymaniyah of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan. "The rivals who handed over the city of Kirkuk to Iraqi forces, treason". 
Barzani said in his speech after the announcement of his candidacy for the presidency of the region, today that provincial officials have tried very much, that the implementation of the provisions of the Constitution, but without any benefit. 
Barzani said that Iraqi forces would have attacked Kurdistan and the disputed areas, even if the province did not hold the referendum. 
He added that the reactions to the referendum on the independence of Kurdistan, was unexpected, stressing that the Kurdish people have no friend other than the mountains of Kurdistan, citing the title of the book Dana Adam Smith.
"If it were not for the betrayal of October 16, the situation would be different in the disputed areas," he said, adding that he would continue to fight as a fighter in the Peshmerga forces. 
Barzani accused the United States of supporting Iraqi forces during its control of Kirkuk, saying that "what happened in Kirkuk is a treason," adding that "the withdrawal of the Peshmerga from Kirkuk came to our blood." 
Barzani accused the popular crowd of trying to displace the population in the Kurdish areas, and said that "the Iraqi forces to push the Peshmerga to defend itself in Makhmour and Sinjar and others." 
He renewed the call for dialogue from Baghdad, rejecting attempts to undermine the Kurdistan region. 
"The referendum on independence, which was held on 25 September, and reflected negatively on the region:" It is not permissible to amend the law of the presidency of the territory and extend the life of the presidency. "
The region lost most of the territory controlled by the Kurdish Peshmerga forces since 2003, especially the oil-rich province of Kirkuk, in just days, and without military clashes with the Central Federal Forces. 
The Blue Line of the province includes the cities of Sulaymaniyah, Halabja, Dahuk and Erbil only, while the Kurdish authorities have expanded since 2003 in the provinces of Kirkuk, Nineveh, Diyala and Salahuddin. 
But fierce gunbattles raged Thursday between Kurdish fighters and Iraqi forces heading to the border crossing with Turkey to secure the oil pipeline to the Turkish port of Ceyhan. 
Barzani, who believes he is capable of realizing the state's dream despite international opposition, with the exception of Israel, asked parliament to hold a meeting to avoid a legal vacuum in the powers and powers of the president.
"I will remain a Peshmerga fighter among the people of Kurdistan," said the 71-year-old son, who always wears Kurdish uniforms. 
Shortly after reading the letter, the parliament of Kurdistan began a closed session in Erbil, to distribute the powers of the President of the Territory until the next presidential election, whose date has not yet been determined. 
The session was supposed to have been held for days, but has been postponed several times. 
Barzani's deputies pointed out that the powers of the presidency will be distributed "temporarily until the next elections." 
And rejects the opposition, especially the "Kuran" (Change), which called for the resignation of Barzani, and the formation of a "national salvation government," which refuses to divide the powers of the president on the proposal of the two major parties; the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan,
"Barzani is a symbol of the failure of the Kurdish policy, and the only thing he should do is apologize in public," said the MP for the well-known Karan Rabun before the meeting began.
