cooked Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Erbil yes. private banking yes. GOI, still waiting. What about the HCL law? I haven't heard much of this lately. Is this less of an issue than previously thought? Has it slipped under the carpet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
