BARZANI TALKS ABOUT STRENGTHENING CONFIDENCE BETWEEN BAGHDAD AND ERBIL AFTER THE BUDGET IS PASSED

Wednesday, March 31, 2021 11:54 PM

 

 

 

Baghdad / National News Center
The President of the Kurdistan Region, Nechirvan Barzani, spoke today, Wednesday, about strengthening confidence between Baghdad and Erbil after the 2021 budget was passed.

Barzani said, in a statement received by the National News Center, "The Iraqi people have suffered greatly and deserve a better life. Iraq is a country rich in natural and human resources, and the issue is not only oil and gas."

He added, "I say to all Iraqi politicians, that the time has come to sit together to address the problems of Iraq politically, to ensure a better future for the country, because the Iraqi people have suffered a lot and deserve better."

He believed, "It is natural that ISIS poses a serious security threat to all of Iraq. During our conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron, we confirmed that the issue of ISIS continues to pose a threat to the stability and security of Iraq."

Earlier in the day, Nechirvan Barzani held a press conference with the French President, Emmanuel Macron, after Barzani's arrival in the French capital, Paris.

Barzani added, "We consider any party outside the law that poses a threat not only to the Kurdistan region, but to the whole of Iraq and its stability. We believe that weapons must be in the hands of the state, and it is necessary to organize this within a legal framework."

He expressed his dissatisfaction “in general and seriously with the parties that try to destabilize the security and stability of Iraq and work outside the framework of the law, at the same time, and we do not believe that such behavior will serve Iraq, and we do not believe that these actions will help the political stability of Iraq, and for this it must be. We all have a position on this issue. "

And he went on to say, "The development of Basra, Karbala, Najaf and Anbar is an evolution for Kurdistan. This is what we see, and that any project that is a reason for providing more services to the Iraqis anywhere is our source of happiness."

And the President of the Kurdistan region continued: “We are happy to sign agreements between the French company Total and Iraq, because the big problem for Iraq today is the issue of securing fuel for electricity as a service provided to the Iraqi people, and we are very happy with this agreement, and we hope to implement it, and that it will be the beginning of providing better services to all Iraqis.”

He pointed out that "annually large quantities of gas are wasted, and at the same time Iraq is forced to buy electricity and gas from neighboring countries. We congratulate the Iraqi Ministry of Oil and congratulate Mustafa Al-Kazemi, and we hope that this agreement will enter into force for the benefit of all Iraqis."

Today, the House of Representatives voted on the Federal Budget Law for the Republic of Iraq for the year 2021 in general, and on dissolving itself on the seventh of next October, in preparation for the elections scheduled for the tenth of the same month, while raising its session until the tenth of next April.

So the budget was a hurdle they cleared which is nice. Now the HCL, which stands for the next Hurdle CLeared. Don't stop now guys even though they seem to be taking off until April 10th patting themselves on the back for a couple of weeks. I mean, Yota worked just as hard or harder than you guys. Do you see him taking a couple weeks off?

 

No! Au Contraire my dear Fair! He is back at it already. Take a lesson Parliament and do the YOTA!!!

 

Keep working! Keep giving him something to do!!!! Pass the HCL and make us all go away.

Regarding the relationship between the federal government and the Kurdistan region and the agreement that led to the passage of the budget, Muhammad considered "this is a step in the right direction," calling for "the implementation of commitments during the coming months to be a goodwill gesture towards resolving the differences between them, especially with regard to how to extract and export oil and gas in the region." The region and regarding the region’s budget, and finding radical solutions to the existing problems. "
The head of the bloc stated that "the approval of the oil and gas law in the near future will have a positive impact towards resolving the existing differences between the federal government and the region, and the budget included an item on reviewing all contracts with oil companies in a manner that achieves the highest benefit and is consistent with the principles of the constitution throughout Iraq,"

Haven't looked deeply into this....and don't know all that much about Iraq and the IQD....

 

My understanding was for years the $$$ allocation percentage for the Kurds was a major stumbling block......in a brief look at article 11 or 12.... I thought the HCL was covered.....

 

As I understand it, the budget will be signed with in a time frame of 15 days..and of course that official publication in the gazette...that could run into Ramadan.... 

 

Any thoughts?     CL
