    Iraq finds extra billion barrels of oil: ministry

    January 21, 2013


    Iraq said on Sunday it has discovered deposits of crude equivalent to one billion barrels of oil after the first exploration work by state-owned firms in almost 30 years. The deposits were found after exploration in Maysan province, in southern Iraq near the border with Iran, and could potentially make a significant addition to Baghdad''s already substantial reserves.

    "Exploration began in Maysan, south of (provincial capital) Amara" last year, oil ministry spokesman Assem Jihad told AFP.

    "Today, it completed 100 percent and achieved a big success.

    "The initial assessment from this discovery is about one billion barrels of oil," he said, adding: "It will increase production capacity for (state-owned) Maysan Oil Company."

    Jihad said the state-owned oil exploration firm had been carrying out its first exploration work within Iraq in nearly three decades.

    Iraq, which is highly dependent on oil sales for government revenue, has sought in recent years to dramatically ramp up production and exploration in order to help rebuild its conflict-battered economy and infrastructure.

    The country has proven reserves of 143.1 billion barrels of oil and 3.2 trillion cubic metres (111.9 trillion cubic feet) of gas, both of which are among the largest in the world.

    EU-Iraq agreement: new opportunities to boost democracy
    External/international trade / Development and cooperation / External relations − 15-01-2013 - 16:12

    Mario Mauro


    Iraq can enjoy new economic opportunities and receive a boost to its efforts to promote democracy and human rights in the country thanks to its first-ever framework agreement with the EU. That is the view of Italian Christian Democrat MEP Mario Mauro, who is responsible for steering the agreement through Parliament. He is recommending his fellow MEPs to approve the partnership and cooperation agreement at the vote on Thursday. We spoke to him about how the EU can help Iraq.


    How can this deal help Iraq on its path to democracy, rule of law and effective protection of human rights?


    Clearly, Iraq is in trouble and the transition is far from finished. At this time we have to create concrete opportunities for their economy and society. Our intention is to strengthen the country's economic infrastructure and to guarantee development and peace.


    At the same time we have to be very clear when talking about human rights violations, e.g. religious discrimination. There is a lot of tension between Sunnis and Shiites and there is also the particular case of Christians in the country. The dramatic situation in Syria is another element of instability because of the refugees coming to Iraq.


    We are very well aware of all this. But it is also important to underline that we are producing new opportunities for Iraqi people through money and the economic relationship. I suppose that is the best way to support democracy in Iraq. Our position is simple: we offer economic opportunities in exchange for human rights improvements.


    When could we expect major improvements in Iraq?


    We are in the middle of a big discussion about the rule of law in Iraq. We have to support the dialogue and strengthen civil society in the country, ensuring that it is possible for parties to take part in the debate. I think it is very important at this moment to be open to all proposals and listen to what they have to say


    We need to remember that in the past Europe needed a long transition too. After seventy years we have peace but every day we still ask for more clarity in our political project.


    It's unrealistic to expect Iraqi people to be able to solve the situation in a few years. It's a long process during which we can build a very strong friendship. I think this should be our goal.


    Do you think Iraq is making any progress towards democracy?


    I think so. People are concerned about the future and not thinking so much about the war. But Iraq is a country where exceptional interests come into play. We have to remember that Saudi Arabia, Iran and probably Turkey are interested in destabilising the country. So we need to stay near our Iraqi friends and foster dialogue in the country.

    Allawi: the governmental Administration divides Iraq as well as the community.. The demonstrations will spread to the south… this is how the crisis could be solved

    Thursday, 17 January 2013 08:29

    Shafaq news/the head of Iraqiya list and General-Secretary of Wifaq national movement, Ayad Allawi warned against drifting the country towards a political sectarianism confirming that protests in Sunni areas will go on, recalling on holding early elections in the country which to be supervised by the UN.

    "Shafaq News" interviewed Allawi in Erbil when he expressed his opinion regarding the demonstrations as well as general situations in the country.

    Shafaq News/In your point of view, how it is possible to get out of the country's current crisis?

    Allawi: What is important now is the issue of the political sectarianism beating the country in the meantime, this is why we have established a base to solve this issue and open a door to a dialogue in order to avoid sectarian slogans and to stay away from the exploiting of those protests by any political side.

    Shafaq News/A dialogue with whom?

    Allawi: With the national alliance because the government is still refrained to its stances especially the prime minister, this is why we should refuge to the really democratic ways i.e. activating the role of the Council of representatives as well as coordinating among political powers in order to achieve right situations in Iraq.

    Shafaq News/Some of Maliki's oppositionists said that he is attempting to divide Iraq, what's your comment?

    Allawi: I personally had alarmed since my opposition time then post Saddam's toppling and I am still alarming yet against sectarian policies because such policy will result in dividing the country –God to forgive- but unfortunately the government's current policies are all pouring in this direction in particular the issue of dividing the Iraqi community, this is why we should get out of the sectarian bottleneck as soon as possible.

    He went on saying; unfortunately the overstatement by government sets and the cabinet contribute to the complicating of this situation day by day.

    Shafaq News/There were calls by you as well as the Iraqi prime minister to hold early elections, have you discussed the matter with Barazani in Erbil?

    Allawi: Wq2e are keen to find a solution to the crisis which reached disastrous levels, it is not a mere crisis so far, so current dialogue is poured into how to get out of sectarianism and to take our positions as politicians and to resort to the constitution, holding an early election is a potential move, I personally believe that the very appropriate solution is to hold an early election in the country supervised by UN and to get the government resigns, this is the only solution to Iraq's crisis but the current get-out-way of the current crisis is to cancel the adoption of sectarianism.

    Shafaq News/How long anti-Maliki's government protests will go on in Sunni areas?

    Allawi: They are going on as I have been acknowledged and even in southern provinces, and Karbala, we will witness much and more of such rallies in the south in the upcoming days.

    Shafaq News/ It is possible to have pro-Maliki protests, how will such demonstrations impact the general atmospheres?

    Allawi: No impact, media reported that people of Muthana province ordered to participate in such protests, we are not discussing who is with and who is against, the reality showed there are demands and these demands should be answered. The pro-government protests do not announce any demands while anti-government rallies are asking for releasing their detainees, asking to stop excluding and torturing policies against them, asking for services, electricity, water..etc. demonstration is a right guaranteed by the constitution, but we ask to avoid sectarian slogans..and not to steal protests.
