Kurdistan Federation: Legislating the oil and gas law will resolve the disputes between Baghdad and Erbil
The spokesperson for the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan parliamentary bloc, Suzanne Mansour, said on Wednesday that legislating the oil and gas law would be sufficient to resolve the disputes and outstanding issues between Baghdad and Erbil.
Mansour said in an interview with the Maalouma Agency that the oil and gas issue has been stuck between Baghdad and Erbil for many years, noting that “recourse to the constitution lies in legislating the oil and gas law.”
She added, “The draft oil and gas law is still with the government and we are waiting for the law to be enacted in the House of Representatives,” noting that “approving the law would regulate the relationship between Baghdad, Erbil, and the oil-producing provinces.”
She continued, “There is a committee formed by both sides in Baghdad and Erbil to solve all problems, including the oil and gas law.”
