    Iraqi Kurds to U.S.: Back off

    They're asking Washington to stay neutral in their dispute over exporting oil without Baghdad's OK.

    Associated Press

    Posted: Saturday, April 13, 2013, 3:01 AM
    WASHINGTON - Iraq's northern Kurdish region is pressing the Obama administration to remain neutral in a dispute with the central government over whether it can export oil and gas without Baghdad's approval.

    The Kurdish Regional Government's energy minister, Ashti Hawrami, was meeting with administration officials Friday following recent talks with Turkey about completing pipelines, over Baghdad's objections, that could vastly expand the Kurds' ability to directly sell oil and gas.
    The U.S. opposition to the Kurds' energy deals has put it at odds with NATO ally Turkey amid concerns that the dispute over dividing Iraq's energy wealth could threaten that country's stability.

    Turkey, which is eager to expand its energy supply, backs the Kurds' position that the Iraqi constitution gives its regions some power to sign oil and gas deals independently. The United States says the deals need central approval.

    In an interview ahead of the meetings in Washington, Hawrami said he hoped the administration would avoid taking sides.

    "Our advice to them has always been to not get involved with interpretation of the constitution," he said.

    Baghdad and the Kurds have been at loggerheads for years over rights to develop Kurdistan's oil wealth, but tensions have been on the rise. The Kurds, who have their own armed forces, have signed dozens of deals with foreign oil companies since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion.

    The tensions have spiked recently over the talks with Ankara about completing a pipeline to Turkey. With growing energy needs, Turkey has backed the Kurdish position. It has also grown closer to the KRG, seeing it as an important partner in its bid to strike a peace deal with rebels in its own Kurdish region.

    Hawrami said that work to convert one pipeline to Turkey intended for natural gas into an oil pipeline could be completed within months, though Turkey would still need to build capacity to move the oil to its own markets before it could be used.

    The Kurds have also begun trucking smaller quantities of oil into Turkey, prompting allegations of smuggling and threats of lawsuits from Baghdad.

    The central government believes it has the exclusive constitutional right to manage the country's oil policy and wants all exports to travel through state-run pipelines. Hawrami argues that the constitution provides the KRG with the power to strike its own deals, particularly those involving new oil and gas discoveries.
    The constitution calls for the country to divide its oil revenue between its central government and its regions.

    Hawrami said the regional government would return revenue from exports to the central government after it has taken its legal allocation and paid contractors.

    He called the dispute a political standoff with Baghdad about the country's future.

    "The time has come to resolve the constitutional issues," he said, "because Iraq's unity is at stake.
