Iraq is warning Turkey not to follow
through on an oil deal with the Iraqi Kurdistan Regional Government
(KRG), which is expected to start exporting oil to Turkey as early as
next month.
Baghdad officials have voiced strong opposition to any energy deals between Ankara and the KRG, insisting that only they have authority to make energy deals, a claim disputed by both Ankara and the KRG.
According to Sinan Ulgen, a visiting scholar Carnegie Institute in Brussels, energy cooperation between Ankara and the KRG is deepening, and shipments could start soon.
