PM @masrour_barzani held a press conference today regarding the recent decision by Federal Supreme Court’s decision about #KRG’s oil and gas sector. Here is some highlights of the Prime Minister speech at the press conference.
PM @masrour_barzani: The Federal Supreme Court can take decisions and amend the articles in the constitution, when the court itself is established constitutionally.
PM @masrour_barzani: The Federal Government has sent the KRG’s shares in the federal budget for only 12 months out of the previous 26 months.
PM @masrour_barzani: We are ready to hold talks with the federal government to resolve the outstanding issues regarding the KRG’s oil and gas sector, as well as the KRG’s shares in the federal budget.
PM @masrour_barzani: I will say it again, the KRG’s main mission is not only paying public salaries, but also providing services and projects for the public.
PM @masrour_barzani: If the federal government implements all its constitutional obligations, the KRG is ready to do everything the federal government is asking for regarding the oil and gas sector.
PM @masrour_barzani: The Federal Supreme Court’s decision is based on a case which is 10 years old, we all agree that this is political.
PM @masrour_barzani: Our contracts with the oil and gas companies will remain the same, and we will continue dealing with them according to the contracts we have signed with them.
Last words from PM @masrour_barzani was “I’m in constant contact with the Iraqi Prime Minister to solve this issue through dialogue, and we will solve it”
