Information / Baghdad..
Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) member Ahmed al-Harki affirmed on Thursday that reaching solutions to the outstanding disputes between the federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government is in the interest of both parties and could pave the way for rebuilding trust and enacting a transparent and clear oil and gas law.
“Everyone, whether in Baghdad or Erbil, now realizes that resolving chronic disputes is the best option for both parties,” Al-Harki told Al-Maalouma. He noted that “the upcoming agreements could establish a relationship based on rights, duties, and transparency, even though past experience has proven that temporary solutions do not address the roots of crises.”
He added, “Agreeing on these issues could be a starting point for lasting understandings, despite the difficulty of reaching radical solutions at this time.”
He concluded by saying, “The period following the current parliamentary session may witness the drafting of a new oil and gas law, after everyone realized that mutual understanding is the best path, even if it begins with temporary solutions.”
