Iraq Says Turkey Backs Baghdad in Feud Over Kurd Oil Exports
By Khalid Al Ansary
28. September 2017, 12:38 MESZ 28. September 2017, 16:37 MESZ

Iraq said Turkey agreed to deal exclusively with its central government over exports of Kurdish crude oil, a step that could disrupt shipments from the independence-seeking Kurd region.

Turkey supports Iraq’s control over all crude that the OPEC nation exports through a Turkish-controlled pipeline, the Iraqi prime minister said Thursday. The comments suggest the Turks may be reviewing their policy of letting Iraq’s landlocked Kurds export oil independently through the same pipeline. Crude was flowing normally through the network on Thursday. The Kurds export less than 600,000 barrels a day, according to a tweet by the Kurdistan Regional Government’s Ministry of Natural Resources on Sept. 24.....

It's time for messages from a higher level. President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson or Secretary of Defense James Mattis could exercise some leverage -- not only to protect their Kurdish allies, but also to stabilize the region.

In public, the message should be that it's unacceptable to constrict the Kurdish region's economy by shutting down all of its borders and grounding all air travel to and from its regional capital. In private, the message should be tougher. Either Trump, Tillerson or Mattis should threaten to cut military and economic aid to Iraq and Turkey if they continue down a path toward war. There's no point in threatening the Iranians over this; they are and will remain rogues.

Kurds Reject Post-Vote Iraq Moves As ‘Collective Punishment’
Channels Television
Updated September 28, 2017

The Iraqi Kurdish regional government on Thursday rejected measures adopted by Baghdad in the wake of its independence vote as illegal and nothing more than “collective punishment”.

https://www.channelstv.com/2017/09/28/k ... unishment/

“The Kurdish Regional Government rejects all the decisions taken by the Iraqi government and parliament and regards them as collective punishment against the Kurds,” it said after a cabinet meeting in the region’s capital Arbil.

“These decisions are illegal and unconstitutional… They deny the constitutional rights of the Kurds,” it said, while reiterating, however, that the KRG was “ready for dialogue to resolve problems” with Baghdad......

TEHRAN, Sep. 27 (MNA) – Kurdish militia of the Iraqi province of Kirkuk will not allow the country’s army to enter, its governor told on Wednesday.
“There is no need in the deployment of the armed forces, we will not allow the army to enter,” Najmiddin Karim said, reported Sputnik.

Moreover, on Wednesday, the Iraqi parliament instructed the government to return oil fields in regions disputed with the Kurds to Baghdad’s control.

“The government needs to return northern fields in Kirkuk and disputed regions under surveillance and control of the federal oil ministry,” the parliament’s document reads.

Earlier in the day, the Iraqi parliament ruled to give mandate to Prime Minister Haider Abadi to deploy the armed forces into the disputed region of Kirkuk.

Arbil. All foreign flights to and from the Iraqi Kurdish regional capital Arbil will be suspended from Friday evening, its airport director Talar Faiq Salih said, AFP reported.
"All international flights without exception to and from Arbil will stop from 6:00 pm (1500 GMT) on Friday following a decision by the Iraqi cabinet and Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi," she told AFP on Thursday.
Abadi ordered the halt to flights serving airports in Iraqi Kurdistan in retaliation for a Monday independence referendum held in defiance of Baghdad which delivered a resounding 92.73 "yes" vote.

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region (Kurdistan 24) – Former United States Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker on Thursday said he thinks Washington was wrong to come down so hard against the Kurdistan Region’s referendum. He also criticized Iraq, Turkey, and Iran for threatening sanctions on the Kurds.

In an interview with CNN, Crocker said the US made a “mistake” in criticizing the referendum when it was clear that it was going to be held.

The criticism “may have emboldened Baghdad to take a harsher posture than it otherwise would [have],” he said.

Crocker also urged Washington to “manage” the escalating tensions in the region, especially as Iraq, Turkey, and Iran have threatened to impose sanctions on the Kurds, while also conducting menacing military maneuvers following the historic vote...

Turkey has threatened potentially crippling restrictions on oil trading with Iraqi Kurds after they backed independence from Baghdad in a referendum that has alarmed Ankara as it faces a separatist insurgency from its own Kurdish minority.

Most oil that flows through a pipeline from Iraq to Turkey comes from Kurdish sources and a cut-off would severely damage the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG), which relies on sales of crude for almost all its hard currency revenues.

‘Free Kurdistan’ inevitable, and war may be unavoidable
The Sykes-Picot Agreement divided the Kurds among Iraq, Iran, Syria and Turkey in a contiguous region separated only by state boundaries. But despite these state boundaries, Kurds are deeply connected, extending all kinds of support to one another, and are one of the largest stateless ethnic groups in the world. Kurds became US allies in the 1990-91 Gulf War, and their importance for the United States was substantially increased in post-2003 Iraq.

The Kurdish Peshmerga are now the single most important on-ground ally of the United States against ISIS, both in Iraq and Syria. The US has, in recent years, armed the Kurds in both of those countries to the teeth, and nothing could be more unnerving than this for governments in the region that have kept Kurds marginalized for decades.

The referendum for “Free Kurdistan” in northern Iraq, which includes oil-rich Kirkuk, is unacceptable for the regional central governments. Non-Kurds in the region see it as the first step toward a domino effect of Kurdish separatism in all four countries having a Kurdish presence. As Kurds in Iraq have voted in favor of a Free Kurdistan, the Kurds in Syria (which Turkey sees as terrorists), supported by the US, are implementing a plan to establish an independent Kurdish parliamentary system in Syria.

U.S. does not recognize Kurdish independence vote in Iraq: Tillerson

The United States does not recognize the independence referendum in Iraqi Kurdistan and urges an end to “threats of reciprocal actions,” U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said in a statement on Friday.

“The United States does not recognize the Kurdistan Regional Government’s unilateral referendum held on Monday. The vote and the results lack legitimacy and we continue to support a united, federal, democratic and prosperous Iraq,” Tillerson said.

“We urge calm and an end to vocal recriminations and threats of reciprocal actions,” he added.

A KURDISH RADICAL LEFT movement influenced by anarchism is, improbably, now receiving Pentagon support in the war for northern Syria. This movement, in fact, is now the United States’s closest partner among the indigenous forces fighting to take the Islamic State’s capital at Raqqa. This paradox is examined in a profusion of new books about the role of the Kurds in the world’s most confusing ongoing war.
Supporters of the Kurdish movement, which has established an autonomous zone in its region of Rojava, see it as a utopian experiment in direct democracy, and were inspired by its women fighters successfully resisting the ISIS invasion of its territory. The movement’s detractors, in contrast, call it an authoritarian one-party state in league with the Assad regime. There has been growing tension between the Rojava Kurds and the main Syrian opposition.....

Intense fighting breaks out between pro-gov’t and pro-Kurdish forces in northern Iraq
By Leith Fadel - 14/10/20173

Tensions between Turkmen and Kurdish residents of Tuz Kharmatu have been at an all-time high after the recent Iraqi Kurdistan independence referendum, which saw the latter emancipate itself from Baghdad.

https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/in ... hern-iraq/

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-41607822

Turkish soldiers and armoured vehicles have crossed into Syria as part of an operation Ankara says is aimed at stopping fighting in Idlib province.

A military statement said the forces would set up observation posts to help monitor a "de-escalation zone" in line with an agreement with Russia and Iran.
Idlib is largely controlled by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a jihadist alliance linked to al-Qaeda.
It also borders the Kurdish enclave of Afrin, which Turkey wants to contain.

A situation out of control, if Turkey invades the Kurdistan
by Savvas Kalèndéridès
Ankara and Bagdad have reached a secret agreement to create a new means of communication between them and to cut the customs revenues of Erbil, the regional Kurdish government. Iraq will deploy 13,000 men from 12 October to guarantee the control of this route, the security of which will be guaranteed by the Turkish army from November. Then it will be possible for Turkey to invade the Iraqi Kurdistan.

Brig. Gen. Bahzad Ahmed, a spokesman for Kurdish forces, said federal forces have seized an oil and gas company and other industrial areas south of Kirkuk in fighting with Kurdish forces that caused “lots of casualties,” without providing a specific figure.

He said Iraqi forces have “burnt lots of houses and killed many people” in Toz Khormato and Daquq, south of the disputed city. He said Kurdish forces, known as peshmerga, have “destroyed one or two of their tanks.” His claims could not be independently verified.


Iraq’s Interior Ministry said in a brief statement that federal forces have taken control of a power plant, a police station and industrial areas near Kirkuk. It provided no further details on the fighting or casualties in what it referred to as Operation Impose Security on Kirkuk....

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - A prominent Kurdish official and the former chief of staff of the Iraqi army believes opening a border crossing gate between Iraq and Turkey and that closing the Ibrahim Khalil crossing is “impossible” because the Kurdish dominant YPG in Syria has rejected to “coordinate” with them.

“According to our information, the People’s Protection Units (YPG) has refused it and they have not coordinated with [Iraq and Turkey],” said Babakir Zebari, who is in charge of the Peshmerga forces in Duhok and west Tigris front, describing the recent situation in the region between, Turkey, Iraq, the Kurdistan Region and Iran as “very complex.”

FILE PHOTO: Flames emerge from flare stacks at the oil fields in Dibis area on the outskirts of Kirkuk, Iraq October 17, 2017. REUTERS/Alaa Al-Marjani/File Photo In the weeks since September’s failed Kurdish independence referendum, Iraq has agreed for the first time to divert crude from Kirkuk province, which it retook from the Kurds, to Iran, where it will supply a refinery in the city of Kermanshah. Iran is locked in a proxy war with its regional rival and U.S. ally, Saudi Arabia. As well as Iraq, it has been extending its influence in Syria, Yemen and Lebanon, raising increasing concerns in Washington and Riyadh. Under

Dictator Erdogans invasion Army into Syria is ready!

The U.S. State Department on Jan. 18 urged Turkey not to take any action in northern Syria, calling on Ankara to remain focused on the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

At a news briefing, U.S. State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said the U.S. wanted Turkey to abstain from violence in the northwestern city of Afrin.

“We would call [...] on the Turks to not take any actions of that sort,” Nauert said.


“We don’t want them to engage in violence but we want them to keep focused on ISIS,” she said, using another acronym for ISIL.
