Political analyst Ibrahim al-Sarraj warned today, Friday, of Barzani’s attempts to blackmail Baghdad and obstruct the passage of the oil and gas law, with the aim of ensuring that the region obtains concessions that violate the constitution.
Al-Sarraj told Al-Maalouma, “The failure of the Erbil government to manage the region negatively affected its dealings with the center, as it tries to search for a victory for it or divert attention from the problems in the region and the tensions between the union and the democratic party.”
He added that “the regional government, although it signed an agreement providing for the delivery of revenues of 400 thousand barrels to Baghdad, but it will not abide by the oil and gas law, but will seek to find everything that disrupts the draft law.”
And he indicated that “the government of Erbil may resort to the method of blackmailing the coordination framework, and it may look for loopholes in order to disrupt the law, or find loopholes, or whatever disrupts that, or seeks to obtain a privilege that distinguishes it from the rest of the provinces, and this matter is contrary to the constitution, which stipulates equality in rights and duties.”
Earlier, the official of the Turkmen Front in Kirkuk Governorate, Qahtan Al-Wandawi, confirmed that the Kurdistan Democratic Party seeks to control the joint operations headquarters in Kirkuk with the aim of achieving victory for it at the expense of the security services and the prestige of the state.
In the past few days, the province of Kirkuk witnessed tensions and clashes with the security forces, incited by Masoud Barzani’s party, through mobilization of the masses and fueling statements.
