    The Kurdistan Regional Government considers that Baghdad is exerting pressure on foreign companies operating in the region’s cities, while confirming, in its official statements, that it will defend the region’s financial dues and constitutional rights by all means, and what guarantees its entitlements, including the results of the recent elections, and its shares in the ministries, at a time when The Federal Supreme Court has challenged the unilateral actions of the regional government in the field of extracting and exporting oil from the oil fields there, in isolation from Baghdad.

    Oilfield management file negotiating paper

    Political sources in the Kurdistan region confirm that the Kurdistan Democratic Party, led by Masoud Barzani, is currently pressuring the political forces and parties affiliated with the "Coordination Framework" coalition, to place the file of Erbil's management of the oil and gas fields in the region among the most prominent negotiating papers with those forces related to forming the new government. .
    The Kurdistan Regional Government is disturbed by the decisions of the Federal Court regarding the Kurdish oil file
    The oil and gas law in Iraq, which has been in parliament since 2005 due to political differences with Kurdish forces, stipulates that the responsibility for managing the country’s oil fields should be entrusted to a national oil company, supervised by a federal council specialized in this matter, meaning that Baghdad is responsible. About oil in Kurdistan, which Erbil rejects, and considers it a measure that violates the constitution.
    The point of contention between Baghdad and Erbil also lies in the Iraqi constitution, which in recent years has turned into a subject of widespread controversy over its loose articles that are subject to interpretation and interpretation in more than one way.
    Baghdad says that Article 112 of the constitution granted the federal government the right to manage all natural resources, including oil, gas, iron, phosphate, and others. But Erbil clings to a phrase mentioned in the same article, in which it talks about the "partnership" between the federal government and the region in managing the resources in the three provinces of the region, and through which it rejects the absolute authority of Baghdad over the file, and gives itself the right to manage the current extraction and exploration operations and even contract with foreign companies .

    Deportation of the oil law four years

    Responsible sources from the Kurdistan region told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that "some leaders and actors and contribute to the dialogues to form the new government, made a promise to the region that the oil and gas law will be carried over to four new years, which is part of the demands of the ruling Kurdistan Democratic Party in Erbil from Coordinating Framework Forces.

    She explained that "the regional government is disturbed by the decisions of the Federal Court regarding the Kurdish oil file, and officials in the region believe that there is a push by political parties towards tension, causing the court to issue decisions against the region."
    According to the sources, the oil file and granting Erbil the right to manage it, or at least continue the current situation, is strongly present in the negotiations of the Kurdish blocs with the "Coordination Framework" alliance, and there is a Kurdish political agreement from the various parties of the region on this.
    Armed factions refuse to pass a deal with Erbil
    She pointed out that some armed factions, such as "Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq" and "Hezbollah Brigades", the most prominent rejection of any new deal with Erbil related to the oil file, while the rest of the parties in the "coordinating framework" do not object to a settlement that ends the current political crisis, including Oil part.
    For his part, Imad Baglan, a member of the ruling Kurdistan Democratic Party in Erbil, told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that the Kurdistan region seeks to "guarantee the rights of the Kurds," confirming that the oil and gas file is at the heart of the dialogues to form the next government. Paglan added that "the introduction of energy or economy and other matters related to the benefits from us, is not wrong."
    He spoke of what he described as "a political will that seeks to spread accusations against the Kurdistan region, such as stealing Iraqi oil, normalization with Israel, and sponsoring suspicious foreign interests. These lies are supported by media machines funded by Iraqi money," describing Erbil's position in the oil and gas crisis as "striking out". From the heart of the constitution and consistent with the nature of Iraqi laws."

    Kurdistan must hand over oil quotas to the federal government

    However, member of the Coordination Framework, Muhammad Al-Sihoud, indicated, in an interview with Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, that "the oil and gas law has been suspended since 2005, meaning that the Kurdistan region must be subject to Iraqi laws, and hand over the quotas of oil to the federal government, not to mention the Being obliged, according to the law, to hand over compensation for the past years.
    Some armed factions reject any new deal with Erbil related to the oil file
    He added, "This law is one of the parliament's priorities in the next stage, so it is not possible to accept a political settlement that leads to the deportation of the law, even if some political parties in the coordination framework support this settlement in order to form the new government."
    Chihod stressed that "the forces of the coordination framework that reject the oil and gas law in force in Kurdistan prevail, and that most political forces want to listen to the conditions of the framework, not to the conditions of political entities on the framework, and there are priorities, including preventing violations of laws by the regional government."
    Muhammad Al-Sihoud: The forces of the coordination framework that reject the oil and gas law in force in Kurdistan prevail
    For his part, political analyst Ahmed Al-Sharifi said, "The formation of the government in the current situation and the current stalemate after the withdrawal of the Sadrist movement made the forces of the coordination framework accept any condition in order to form a government acceptable to all parties and components. Therefore, the framework is ready to sacrifice the oil and gas law during the next government." In order to manage political matters, and of course, the Kurdish forces want to continue to follow their oil and gas law."
    Al-Sharifi said, in an interview with Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, that "the current dialogues between the political forces are not final, but the presentation of the file of laws, which the regional government considers harmful to it, aims to know the views on this, and it may not be directly related to the guarantees for forming the government, because Everything is related to Sadr's future steps, and that the region is seriously considering preventing Baghdad from affecting its oil and gas production and export operations."
    It is noteworthy that the Kurdistan region produces between 400,000 and 420,000 barrels of oil per day, most of which is exported through Turkish territory, and a small percentage of it remains for domestic consumption, while the Council of Ministers of the Region, during a recent meeting, confirmed the existence of “unfair pressures on international investors in the oil and gas sector.” in the region,” calling for its abolition.
