A source within the coordination framework revealed on Sunday that a meeting of the framework’s leaders is expected this week to discuss proposals related to the oil export crisis and a number of political and security issues in the country.
The source told Shafaq News Agency that “the leaders of the framework will hold an important meeting during this week to make decisions regarding the export of crude oil via the Ceyhan pipeline, in addition to discussing the issue of constitutional entitlements and the need to resolve them as quickly as possible.”
He added that the meeting will also discuss “the conditions for choosing the prime minister,” noting that “most of the leaders of the framework agreed to exclude Nouri al-Maliki, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani and Haider al-Abadi from the nomination, without announcing this publicly.”
According to the source, the leadership is also discussing “resolving the issue of the Prime Minister after Eid al-Fitr or postponing it until the end of the war.”
In this context, Abdul Rahman al-Jazaeri, head of the political body of the National Tribal Movement and close to the State of Law Coalition, told Shafaq News Agency that “the periodic meeting of the leaders of the coordination framework may lead to the appointment of a framework delegation to visit Erbil.”
He explained that the potential visit aims to “urge the region to decide on a presidential candidate, in addition to discussing the issue of oil exports through Ceyhan and the reasons for the region’s refusal to export through this outlet,” noting that “not exporting harms the country’s interests without discrimination.”
Today, the Iraqi Ministry of Oil announced that the Ministry of Natural Resources in the Kurdistan Region rejected Baghdad’s request to resume oil exports via pipeline.
Earlier, the Iraqi Ministry of Oil announced that the Ministry of Natural Resources in the Kurdistan Region had rejected a request to resume oil exports via the region’s pipeline to the port of Ceyhan to compensate for the halt in exports from the southern fields. The ministry explained that Baghdad had proposed exporting approximately 300,000 barrels per day through the pipeline, in addition to oil from the region’s fields, but the request was rejected with the imposition of other conditions. The ministry called for a swift resumption of exports to minimize the financial losses resulting from the export stoppage.
