Barzani: Baghdad must compensate the abused people financially and morally
 

Barzani: Baghdad must compensate the abused people financially and morally
 

7/31/2020 11:28:44

 
The President of the Kurdistan Regional Government, Masroor Barzani, issued a statement today, Friday, on the occasion of the 37th anniversary of the genocide campaigns committed by the Baathist regime against the Barzans.

 

Barzani said in the text of the statement: "Today we have a remembrance of one of the greatest crimes committed against the people of Kurdistan by the Baathist regime, which is the campaign of genocide against the Barzans, during which the lives of eight thousand innocent people were lost, not for any pretext only because they are Kurds, and they were buried Biology". And, “The genocide campaigns that the Barzans were subjected to were the precursors to similar and large-scale campaigns committed by the Baathist regime against the people of Kurdistan in various stages under the name (Anfal), in which thousands of innocent citizens of Kurdistan, children, women, elderly and elderly, were taken to the desert Iraq, after which they were buried alive and brutally wiped out in mass graves." "The campaigns of genocide against the Barzans were not only motivated by racist motives, but were primarily aimed at erasing identity and stealing the rights of an entire people, and if not the resistance and the stability of the people of Kurdistan in their uprising and defending their land and country, its identity and existence would be seriously endangered," he added.

He explained that "On this painful anniversary, the Kurdistan Regional Government affirms its full commitment to caring for the families of the martyrs and the Anfal with the available capabilities, and will continue at the same time its endeavors with the Federal Government in this regard, and we stress again the need to compensate the families of the Anfal in Kurdistan, by the Federal Government Materially and morally". He concluded his statement by saying, "A salute to the victims of the extermination campaigns of the Barzans and the Anfal and the martyrs of the liberation movement of the people of Kurdistan."

I’m thinking they’ve been watching to much American cnn about the reparations from the slavery days an trying to beg more money from the government. 
Maybe the new PM will tell his Kurdistan counterpart that he needs to contact the dictator in charge of all those crimes to get compensation.

  Specialists: Kurdistan oil covers 70% of Israel's needs

Economy News - Baghdad:

Specialists confirmed that the Kurdistan region's oil covers Israel’s needs by 70% at very low prices, in exchange for support from the Jewish lobby in America for the Kurdish issue .

While Iraq considers the Zionist entity an occupied country and is prohibited from dealing with it, the Kurdistan Democratic Party - which runs the Kurdistan Regional Government - accused political parties of raising the issue of the relationship with Israel .

 

A high-ranking source in the Iraqi government said that the Federal Ministry of Oil filed a lawsuit in the year 2014 against the Ministry of Natural Resources in the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq for exporting the oil produced in the region and Kirkuk without the approval of Baghdad and in violation of the constitution, and several sessions were held, but so far no decision has been issued .

 

He pointed out that the parties to the conflict are the prime minister and the oil and finance ministers from the Baghdad government, while the Kurdistan region of Iraq was represented by the prime minister and the minister of natural resources .

 

According to the source, the former Finance Minister Fouad Hussein was looking for a political solution, while the Federal Oil Minister was willing to issue a decision in his favor, indicating that the Federal Court decided to rely on the live answer by sending everyone his answers to the court instead of adopting the legal client .

 

The source confirmed that the former President of the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq, Nechirvan Barzani, sent his letter and confirmed that the region has the right to export oil, as well as all other parties except for the former Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi, who was evading sending the answer under false pretenses, in order to maintain his relations with Iraqi Kurdistan .

 

The source indicated that the current government will not open this file in the Federal Court because of its good relations with the Kurdistan region of Iraq, which makes the Federal Court keep the invitation open until a response is received from the Prime Minister to decide .

 

The source pointed out that there is not yet a political party that supports opening this file because of the need of all political blocs from the Shiites and Sunnis to the Kurds, especially since the majority of them are looking for political solutions .

 

On the other hand, the Kurdish MP in the Iraqi parliament, Ahmed Al-Hajji, said that the Kurdistan region exports its oil in accordance with Article 121 of the constitution, which grants the region the right to amend the application of the federal law in the absence of an oil and gas law, in addition to Baghdad’s approval to export the Kurdistan region's oil through budgets. The financial approved by Parliament every year .

 

Al-Hajji expressed his belief that Islam does not prohibit commercial and social relations with the Jews, and that what matters for the Kurdistan region is the sale of its oil to any country, whether Arab or foreign, especially as there are Arab countries that have embassies to Israel, explaining that some companies that buy oil for the Kurdistan region have shares To Israeli companies .

 

On the other hand, Hazem Al-Khalidi, deputy for the National Approach, called for the necessity of ending the file of exporting oil from Kurdistan to the countries of the world and making it confined to the Iraqi Oil Marketing Company (SOMO), noting that the export of Kurdish oil to Israel will make all parties under legal accountability .

 

Al-Khalidi said that the Kurdistan Region throughout the past years has caused significant financial losses to the center’s government that exceeded 128 billion dollars, as a result of his lack of participation in supporting the federal budget and taking money from the center’s government .

 

In turn, Masoud Haider, advisor to the President of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, said that oil in every country is sold to international companies and enter through these companies to the global market, and that the Kurdistan region of Iraq displays its oil in this market .

 

He added that the accusations of selling Iraqi Kurdistan oil to certain countries are for political purposes, and that the region deals with Israel or any other country according to Iraq’s foreign policy, as the Kurdistan region is within the federal federal Iraq, considering that there are many Arab countries that have trade relations and agreements with Israel .

 

According to the statements of the Baghdad government, the production of the Kurdistan region of Iraq ranges from 600 thousand to 750 thousand barrels per day, of which 500 thousand barrels per day or more are exported to several countries, including Turkey, Greece and Israel .

 

 How to transport oil to Israel?

Meanwhile, researcher and journalist Abdullah Hawiz said that Iraqi Kurdistan oil is exported to several countries, including Israel, indicating that 80% of Iraqi Kurdistan oil was purchased by Israel in the year 2018 .

 

He added that Iraqi Kurdistan oil sold to Israel ships by downloading it, and when it reaches the Mediterranean Sea before entering the Israeli waters, the name will be changed so that monitoring the ship will be very difficult .

 

In turn, the oil expert Hamza Al-Jawahery agrees with Hawiz, saying that 70% of Israel's oil needs are obtained from the Kurdistan region of Iraq at very low prices, noting that the Kurdistan region of Iraq gives Israel discounts of up to a third of the price of a barrel .

 

Al-Jawahiri pointed out that the goal of the Kurdistan region of Iraq from selling oil to Israel is to obtain the support of the Jewish lobby in America to support the Kurdish issue against the decisions of the federal government, noting that the Iraqi constitution in its articles 111, 112 and 110 prohibits the export of any oil or other strategic goods, but rather restrict it Only the federal government.

Member of the Parliamentary Security and Defense Committee, MP Abdul Khaleq Al-Azzawi, confirmed on Saturday that the joint operations room between Erbil and Baghdad in the disputed areas will be subject to a basic condition.

Al-Azzawi said in an interview with "Information", that "the formation of the joint or coordination operations room between the federal and Peshmerga forces is an important step in supporting stability and security and it does not have to be formed by us, but it should be on a basic condition, which is that within the regions the Peshmerga have a presence of its forces on the ground." 

Al-Azzawi added, “The forces of the Fifth Division completed their deployment on the borders between Diyala and Kurdistan, and an expanded meeting was held recently between the army and company leaders for security coordination and exchange of information, stressing that security cooperation is important because the Peshmerga are part of the Iraqi security system, but the formation of an operations room for information coordination needs some time”.

We also value the Kurdish people for welcoming and sheltering Yezidis.” “All parties must cooperate to reconstruct Sinjar and to re-establish the situation in the city, in order to ensure that it is clear from any foreign armed forces or militants. The area should be protected by both local and federal governments.” “The Kurdistan Regional Government’s efforts are still ongoing to liberate the Yezidis kidnapped who still unaccounted for.”
