Baghdad: Huda Al-Azzawi
Observers and specialists in international law have indicated that the best pressure card that Iraq can wave against Ankara is to demand the implementation of the decision of the International Dispute Tribunal in Paris to force it to implement a $1.4 billion fine to be paid, in order to achieve a policy of pre-emptive deterrence and stop the bombing of lands, violations of Iraqi sovereignty, and cutting off water.
Political affairs analyst Omar Al-Nasser said in an interview with “Al-Sabah” that “Iraq was able to achieve one of the qualitative achievements and gains as a first step of future steps that will gradually follow to extract rights from all countries that contributed to weakening Iraq, its influence and its position in the region by activating the resort to International official forums, as Iraq won the ruling issued by the Commercial Disputes Court in Paris to impose a fine on Ankara worth approximately one billion and 400 million dollars.
He explained that "the decision came due to the illegality of Turkey's export of Iraqi oil through the Kurdistan region without Baghdad's approval, and it is a natural result of stopping the disdain for the internal political decision and the violation of Iraqi sovereignty," noting that "there is another lawsuit that Iraq may win in the coming days," stressing that " The issue is not only material, but it is important from a moral standpoint and the country’s international reputation among the countries of the world.”
Al-Nasser noted that “Erdogan’s decision to postpone or cancel his visit to Iraq comes from his strong desire to obtain a written guarantee confirming that the international court’s fine imposed on Ankara will not be activated, which has become an excellent card that Baghdad holds and can invest in times of need for the purpose of obtaining future political gains, and a pressure card.” A real response to the blatant Turkish attacks related to violating Iraqi sovereignty, cutting off river water, etc.
For his part, the specialist in law and international relations, Dr. Haider Kadhim Al-Quraishi, pointed out that “Iraqi-Turkish relations are governed by several factors and variables that have determined the nature of the relationship between the two countries for decades, and Turkey has great elements of pressure on Iraq, perhaps foremost among which is the issue of water and the military presence.”
Al-Qurayshi stated in an interview with “Al-Sabah” that “Turkey, as a result of several factors, interfered in Iraqi affairs for a long time, which affected the status and sovereignty of Iraq, and here the question began: Does Iraq have means to deter Turkey’s repeated interventions?” He answered: “Certainly Iraq has means.” It is important to achieve a policy of deterrence whenever there is a political decision to activate it, foremost of which is trade, the issue of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, and the export of oil.”
He pointed out that "there are other new means of pressure that can be added to the elements of deterrence if they are to be used for purposes related to the water quota, the military presence, and the continuous bombing of Iraqi lands, namely the insistence on implementing the decision of the International Disputes Court that was issued recently to fine Turkey one and a half billion dollars." As a result of its breach of its obligations related to the implementation of the 1973 agreement regarding the provisions of the pipeline agreement between the two countries.”
He explained that "the case began in 2014 at the end of Nouri al-Maliki's government through a lawsuit filed in the Commercial Court of the International Chamber of Commerce in the Paris Club for creditors, which was filed by the SOMO company as a result of Turkey's failure to adhere to the issue of exporting oil through the aforementioned company, and its exporting oil for the period from 2014." To 2018 directly from the Kurdistan region without informing the central government.”
Al-Quraishi raised a question about the possibility of using this card by bargaining for other files, and said: “It seems that Turkey preempted Iraq in this matter, and began to bargain on several issues, the first of which is the water issue and linking it to the political aspect. The other issue is Turkey’s pressure to postpone Erdogan’s visit to Baghdad until after... Iraq should give up on this issue.” He pointed out that “the most dangerous thing about the matter is that the recent federal budget allowed the Turkish authorities to pressure or challenge the decision and the lack of its effects when it authorized, in one of the budget articles, the region to export quantities of oil directly to Turkey outside the (SOMO) share.”
