Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki on Sunday to cut Central Government funding to the semi-autonomous Kurdistan Iraq if the Kurds sought to export oil to Turkey without consent.
He said Al-Maliki told Reuters in an interview that the "constitutional violations" will never allow for Kurdistan and the Turkish Government. Maliki said Baghdad's insistence on the jurisdiction of the Central Government authority for the management of energy resources.
And the Central Government and the Kurds on how to interpret the provisions of the Constitution concerning oil and revenue sharing. The share of the Kurds 17 percent after the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 despite the Kurds complain that they often receive less than this percentage.
It also summoned the Deputy Prime Minister for Energy Affairs Hussein Al-Shahristani to Turkish charge d'affaires scourge of Gilan in Baghdad on Sunday, as he intercepted the Iraqi Government to allow the pumping of Iraqi oil from Kurdistan Iraq to the Turkish port of Ceyhan for export purposes without the consent of the Iraqi Government. And requested the Turkish Government to abide by the agreement between the two countries and approved in accordance with the respective legal methods. Noting that Iraq's oil output is across international borders without the consent of the Iraqi Government is bypassing the oil wealth that belongs to all Iraqis, the text of the Constitution.

The Ministry expressed regret and surprise "of the Declaration of the Ministry of natural resources in the region of Kurdistan, represented by the so-called Iraqi oil Marketing Corporation on the Turkish Government to allow the representative of the Ministry of energy and mineral resources company botash using Iraqi line pipe system for pumping and storing quantities of the crude oil produced in Kurdistan without consent".
"The County will sell the shipment of crude oil in the amount of 2 million barrels in late January 2014 for then current of up to 4 million barrels by late February. "These quantities, according to the Kurdistan region will reach 6 million barrels per day in late March, to settle to be the limits of (10-12) million barrels during the month of December 2014", stating that "the region will be used in the transportation of crude oil Turkey line system without the consent of the Federal Government of Iraq."
The Ministry said that "the Ministry of natural resources in violation of the relevant provisions of the Iraqi Constitution, Iraq's natural resources, and register this Declaration a clear violation and unacceptable to the recent agreement in the end of December last year between the Iraqi Government and the Kurdistan Regional Government." She "rejecting firmly the export mechanism announced by Ministry of natural resources in Kurdistan and included the role of oil marketing company SOMO is only oversight." She noted that she "needed to the Turkish Government for allowing the representative of the Ministry of energy and mineral resources company botash using pipe line system of the Iraqi-Turkish pipeline and storage of large quantities of the crude oil produced in Kurdistan without the approval of the Federal Government."
The "Turkey breached the tripartite agreement between Turkish side, represented by the Minister of energy and mineral resources and the Iraqi side of the Iraqi Government and the Kurdistan Regional Government during a meeting early in December 2013. "The Turkish Government has violated the pledge not to allow the export of crude oil produced in Kurdistan via pipe system only after obtaining the consent of the Federal Government." She said that "the Turkish side to reverse terms of the Joint Declaration signed between the two Governments in Baghdad on 19 September 2010, which stipulated that sovereignty and authorization to export hydrocarbon resources of Iraq are exclusively for the Iraqi Federal Oil Ministry and oil marketing company SOMO and the text of the article (2.4) of the amendment to the Convention on the crude oil pipeline between the two Governments on the same date, above which the substance of the Joint Declaration."
The Federal Oil Ministry stressed that "official authority vested exclusively in the export of Iraq's hydrocarbon wealth, including crude oil and gas in oil marketing company SOMO, through standard contracts concluded for this purpose exclusively. The companies and people involved in participating in the conclusion of contracts or agreements for sale and purchase of crude oil or gas produced from fields in the Kurdistan region or any other oil and gas fields in Iraq with an oil marketing company SOMO bore all the legal implications and the resulting criminal and will be prosecuted on the grounds that the cargo was sold smuggled contrary to the laws in force ".
The Kurdistan Regional Government, said Thursday it will send 1 million barrels at the beginning of the exports of oil via a new pipeline through Turkey by the end of this month.
