Baghdad, April 4 (Rn) - The Kurdistan Alliance in the Iraqi Council of Representatives on Wednesday, the Kurdistan Regional Government reverse its decision to stop the export of oil and appeal as a goodwill gesture and to "cut the road in front of trying to make this issue a platform to inflame public opinion against the Kurds."
And stopped Sunday KRG oil exports from fields in the region until further notice due to non-payment of the federal government in Baghdad financial receivables for foreign companies operating in the oil production region.
A spokesman for the alliance pro-Tayeb told a news conference in the House of Representatives building in Baghdad that "the Kurdistan Regional Government and as a goodwill gesture to resume oil exports despite the lack of commitment by the federal government promises benefits regardless of oil companies."
Tayeb said that "the benefits the oil companies can be addressed in other ways is to stop exporting oil, because its revenues go to the people and not to the government."
And that "the call for the resumption of oil exports from Kurdistan to prevent the other comes from the exploitation of this issue as a pretext to inflame public opinion against the region."
He called for good the federal government and political entities to "deal with the region as part of Iraq, not as an entity has a strange expansionist ambitions and lives on the date of Iraq."
The Iraqi Finance Minister Rafie al-Issawi said last week that Baghdad had agreed to pay nearly $ 560 million to producers of oil in the Kurdistan region.
The statement came in response to al-Issawi timely announcement by the Government of Kurdistan exports reduced to 50 thousand barrels per day, and the threat to stop exports altogether if Baghdad did not pay the amounts by about $ 1.5 billion.
