to what extent can the dispute between Iraq and Krdstana that up?!, clashes took place between Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, the Iraqi Kurdistan Region President Masoud Barzani, which escalated in intensity since the withdrawal of U.S. forces at the end of 2011, which led to speculation about the announcement of an independent Kurdish state. As that of an armed conflict between Iraqi government forces, and the forces of the autonomous region "Peshmerga" is certainly not the hypothesis can be excluded. One of these examples of the current tensions, occurred last month when it banned Kurdish Peshmerga Army Iraqi national access to one of the disputed areas, which were seeking to cover the region militarily in anticipation of tensions border as a result of being the area adjacent to the Syrian border, said an Iraqi source that Kurdish authorities are trying to illegally buy anti-aircraft weapons and tanks "with the help of a foreign country," he said. this to point accusing fingers to Turkey, which supports Iraqi Kurdistan, in its dispute with Baghdad.
also tried Kurdish leader Massoud Barzani last spring to convince the United States not to sell the central government in Baghdad, fighters from the F16. This has been exacerbated tensions between the two parties because of the war in Syria.
where Barzani supports the rebels, the Syrians, while al-Maliki, who is a supporter of the Islamic Republic of Iran supports Bashar al-Assad. The advantage of this situation, al-Qaeda terrorist, who returned to emerge again when it adopted a series of attacks that killed 116 people.
Baghdad and Erbil have an endless list of differences, ranging from border control and the integration of the Peshmerga with the Iraqi National Army, to install the borders of Kurdistan and the sharing of wealth between the center and the autonomous region, especially crude oil.
there is fear in the center of the growing Kurdish independence to serve as an example for the provinces of Sunni, or even the Shiite provinces the oil-rich Basra in the far south of Iraq, which produces $ 2 million barrels per day of out of Iraq for the oil production of 3 million barrels a day. "Maliki prefers to be the leader of a large country to be president of the State of Shiites - Stan in southern Iraq," as one of the analyzes of Western diplomats, in contrast, the Barzani sees himself as defender of the Iraqi Minorities in the face of "hegemony" Shiite. This is why it has granted asylum to the Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi, the Sunni end of the year 2011, after he was sentenced in absentia in Iraq because he has presided over teams liquidate terrorist during the period of fighting, extending from 2005 to 2008. "
This rapprochement between the political parties Sunni representative the list of Iraq, Kurds represented by the Alliance of Kurdistan, which is supported by the Turkish government, which seeks to overthrow the government of Nuri al-Maliki, has not succeeded so far at least. Prime Minister denounced the corruption of his opponent, "Barzani" and Mhassopeth through the television station Kurdish during last June, pointing out that the son of Barzani heads the security services in the autonomous region, while his nephew as prime minister of the Government of the province.
at the heart of this controversy lies the question of the independence of Iraqi Kurdistan.
According to one diplomat, the dilemma Barzani are as follows: "He knows that Kurdistan is not ready to declare independence and that of other countries in the region will not supports this trend, especially now, but at the same time also realizes that the greater the length of waiting time, the Baghdad will become stronger than before ".
