[size=45]In his press conference, the Prime Minister spoke about the oil and gas sector, especially after the decision of the Federal Court, noting that each of Articles 110, 112, and 115 talks about this file in some way, while Article 111 states that oil and gas belong to all Iraqis in the region. All regions and governorates, but they never indicated that the oil and gas belonged to the federal government.[/size]
[size=45]He added that the people of Kurdistan suffered more than any other party, from the chemical bombardment and Anfal to the destruction and bulldozing of villages, cities and towns, stressing that despite the existence of a constitutional article stipulating compensation, that did not happen, and this is a violation of the constitution.[/size]
[size=45]He explained that Article 92 talked about the establishment of a Constitutional Court, but the current Constitutional Court was established under the Interim Government Law, that is, before writing the constitution, in which most of the Iraqi people voted in favor, indicating that the people of Kurdistan Region voted in favor of the constitution, believing in the rights contained in it.[/size]
[size=45]He went on to say, "This does not mean that we voted on a constitution in order for its articles to be violated, and this court had to be re-established after the constitution was voted on under Article 92."[/size]
[size=45]The Prime Minister called on the Iraqi parliament in the current session to seek to form a federal court in accordance with constitutional procedures, stressing that this would enable it to decide on constitutional issues in an impartial manner, especially issues and problems between the regions and the federal government.[/size]
[size=45]He said that it was not mentioned in any constitutional article that the Federal Court, which was formed according to the law of the interim government, can rule on the constitution.[/size]
[size=45]He said: “If we assume that the constitution was in this way, this means that this court must be organized in a constitutional manner, and the court cannot formulate a constitutional article and change the work procedures in constitutional articles with its own constitution, and on this basis, there is no court that has the legitimacy to change articles. constitutionalism.”[/size]
[size=45]The Prime Minister stressed that the Federal Court's decision violates all the principles of the constitutional articles, and said that taking a decision against the oil and gas law in the region is a violation of the constitution and a tampering with the constitutional articles, which gave the people of Kurdistan the right to manage this sector.[/size]
[size=45]He continued: "We talked about the decision, which was taken at a very sensitive time, especially the political reasons behind it, and all of that in determining the time and how the decision was taken, as it was a political decision and was not in the interest of the Iraqi people at all."[/size]
[size=45]"We have called on the federal government to give us time to negotiate, to reach a conclusion on the basis of the constitution, and to solve the problems that exist now," he added. The Prime Minister expressed his regret that the Kurdistan Region was not given the opportunity, and the decision was taken unilaterally, in accordance with constitutional principles.[/size]
[size=45][You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][/size]
[size=45]The Prime Minister said that the Federal Court relied on a law issued in 1976 during the era of the previous regime and before the changes that took place in Iraq, indicating that this law was affiliated with a central government, not a federal one. He also referred to the adoption of another law related to the issue of Arabization and cut-off areas.[/size]
[size=45]He questioned the reason for adopting laws only, especially those that are in the interest of the "central government", and renewed, saying: "Any decision that is not based on a constitutional article is unacceptable. We have a constitution and a law, and in accordance with this constitution we have taken our position."[/size]
[size=45]The Prime Minister explained that a lot of efforts had been made to pass the Federal Oil and Gas Law in 2007, a project that everyone was ready to vote on, but the federal authority at the time refused that.[/size]
[size=45]He said that the Kurdistan Region is still committed to the need to pass the federal oil and gas law, but the federal government does not seem ready for that.[/size]
[size=45]He added, "We will not give up our right to implement any constitutional article regarding our rights, and we will continue our demands for the implementation of constitutional articles that have not been implemented."[/size]
[size=45]He indicated that he had contacted the Prime Minister of the Federal Council, Mustafa Al-Kazemi on the matter, indicating that he had asked him if the Kurdistan Region did not own oil, so will you, as a government, be committed to ensuring the financial benefits of the people of Kurdistan? He replied: “No, they cannot do that.”[/size]
[size=45]He stressed that the constitution defined the region's duties and rights and that it would never give up its rights stipulated in the constitution. He also questioned the reasons for not implementing Article 140 so far and other constitutional articles related to the rights of the people of Kurdistan.[/size]

[size=45]A message to the Iraqi brothers[/size]
[size=45]The Prime Minister sent a message to all Iraqi brothers and said: “We are your brothers, and part of federal Iraq, and we have not confiscated anyone’s right, and we do not accept that anyone abuses your rights and ours, and the doors of Kurdistan were and will remain open before you, and the region has always been a haven for the afflicted.”[/size]
[size=45]He continued, "Some parties seek to hold the Kurdistan Region responsible for its failure, and this matter is far from the truth. The Kurdistan Region did not get more than 5% of the general budget at best, so what did the federal government do with 95% of the budget as it was unable to provide basic services to citizens, However, the Kurdistan Region provides its services to Iraqis from Zakho to Basra, and is honored to host one million displaced people and refugees from inside and outside Iraq, and the Iraqi government should have shouldered their responsibility, but the region will spare no effort in serving them.[/size]
[size=45]The Prime Minister said that when Basra Governorate faced a shortage of drinking water, the Barzani Charitable Foundation rushed to supply Basra with drinking water, as it did in other provinces, especially Anbar, Najaf, Baghdad and Muthanna.[/size]
[size=45]The Prime Minister added, "We are the people of Kurdistan, with their Kurds, Arabs, Turkmen, Christians and all of its components. We are not the only ones who defend our rights. Rather, we call on the Iraqi people to defend their constitutional rights and the rights of the people of Kurdistan in all other provinces of Iraq."[/size]
