    Sources: Iraqi Kurdistan opens the way to trade crude oil through Iran
    07-08-2013 | (Voice of Iraq)

    Erbil (Reuters)

    Oil industry sources said that Iraqi Kurdistan will be issued crude oil by truck to an Iranian port to ship it to Asia and using the road for which trade is likely to be angry Baghdad and Washington.

    Because unlike the mostly revenue-sharing Kurdistan stopped exports of crude oil by pipeline is controlled by the Iraqi central government last year. But there are about 50 thousand barrels of crude and condensate transported daily from Kurdistan, which does not overlook the sea via Turkey.

    The sources added that the Kurdistan Regional Government agreed to transport crude through a second route through Iran was formerly used for petroleum products.

    Over the past two months, crude was transported by truck from the Kurdish fields on the border to the port of Bandar Imam Khomeini, 900 miles to the south of the bay. The sources said that the amount is uncertain, but may be up to 30 thousand barrels per day.

    A source in the oil industry that the Government of Kurdistan region in Erbil, careful not to disturb each of its neighbors Alqoatin the region, Turkey and Iran on the other hand, raw transmission. The source, who asked not to be named, "It's a political settlement ... can not afford to ignore the Iranians or that the transactions are limited to the Turks. Should weigh."

    It was not clear who will return to Iran from the agreement. Tehran is facing huge problems in the sale of petroleum products due to international sanctions.

    When asked about the land route did not indicate the Kurdistan Regional Government statements for publication, but a source in the Government of the Territory officially denied the transfer of any quantities of oil through Iran so far.

    Oil and one of the issues of dispute between the Iraqi central government and Kurdistan. Among the issues under dispute control of the oil fields and land and raw revenue sharing between the two departments.

    The senior Iraqi official said the oil sector "We have made clear that the only acceptable option for the export of oil is through the federal pipeline network."

    "We consider that any other trade, either through Iran or Turkey smuggling. It's illegal."

    Baghdad says it only has the power to oil exploration and export. She had accused the Kurds in the past smuggled through Iran crude and keep the proceeds for themselves.

    The Kurdistan Regional Government says that its right to exploit existing reserves within its territory and exported guaranteed under the Iraqi constitution, which develop after the US-led invasion in 2003, legally approved for oil and gas of its own.

    Erbil angered Baghdad when it signed agreements for exploration and production companies, including Exxon Mobil, Chevron and Total, which is currently in the final stage of a separate pipeline for export to Turkey.

    It is likely that the quantities of transporting crude oil from Kurdistan via Iran are modest compared to productive capacity. This is equivalent to three times its refining capacity of around 125 thousand barrels per day, although there are other quantities of oil to be refined locally in primitive plants.

    Industry sources said that most of the three largest oil producing fields in the region which Tauki وطق Taq and Jurmala.

    Dell said Bjorn Acting Director of DNO. Said., Which operates the field Tauki he did not know whether any quantities of crude produced by the field will be transferred across the border into Iran. He added, "We are not aware any operations of this kind ... We sell oil on the market, and while we sell become the control and responsibility of the buyer."

    The the Genl company said Energy which operates in two Taq Tauki وطق fields that sells production and does not assume responsibility for him after that.

    TD Update for Wednesday

    I was able to have a short chat with my source about where we are at. Of course anxiety levels are again at unprecedented levels. He confirmed that tomorrow marks the end of Ramadan and beginning of festivities and therefore we are approaching the last hours of the countdown. Ramadan he explained is not a time of money as a worshipping instrument and that Xmas like it is for us to exchange good wishes, presents and such , their EID is a time to bestow their people with similar and gift of money is then appropriate.

    The hoopla that some are reporting of buying gifts, cards, etc. is happening all throughout the country and it's preparation of the upcoming festivities. He bluntly rejected that it had RV'd in country already. Having said that , they have promised their people new purchasing power and a new plateau to take the country into international trading & investment opportunities so basically said : WE ARE THERE ! He states that not only are promises to their people to be accountable for , there are numerous banking and MNC contracts to up hold. Ascension to the WTO and emergence of Iraq as an economic power is at the door step.

    Now, here's some wonderful news he disclosed today : Remember Turki speaking about a "surprise" , well it happens to be that the Rate will be better than anticipated. THAT'S THE SURPRISE !! What is it ?? I have NO IDEA ! He just told me better than "modest" (his words not mine). Again what is "modest" , I HAVE NO IDEA !!

    Security is holding nicely in Iraq and so Lord willing it stays that way i.e. No major terrorist episode, then we have no glitches or excuses for delays !! Time period : Well every Iraqi is expecting this in the next few hours, days. Most probably this weekend but certainly it can't go further than early next week since promises and world commitments are binding. I Don't know the exact date !

    The CBI will push the button and shortly in concert , Maliki as head of state will announce Iraq as international in every which way. Barzani will also make an appearance shortly after.

    So folks, I see that one by one we Intel providers are posting our last posts and saying farewell. I see no reason otherwise in my case. As a fellow investor these last couple years has certainly been interesting to say the least. Folks, we have heard and seen it all. I know many times (well probably most times) I've reported not so popular news and I hope you'll know this : I just reported what I was told AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, I wasn't thrilled with what I heard (as an investor) EITHER !. But rather than sugar coat it or such I just gave it out there (And took my lumps ).

    Anyway, we have learned that no Intel provider ever had perfect information and my source ALWAYS warned me with his info "that conditions can change". AND THEY HAVE ! WOW ! What a ride it's been !! I do believe though that there can be no more delays.

    Best wishes then to all of you. Just a word of advice : Don't be greedy with your windfall ( Again, I have no idea how big or small it will be ) , Please give what U can ( in numerous methods) to those in despair. In this way your windfall will blossom and not become a curse.

    Most importantly, look after yourselves health wise and those around you because surely no wealth is greater than being healthy. BE HAPPY

    Violence Continues in Iraq During Ramadan
    By RUDAW

    Source APTN

    A wave of bombings, mainly targeting markets in and near the Iraqi capital Baghdad, killed 36 people on Tuesday, officials said - the latest in a surge of violence that has gripped Iraq.

    Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, meanwhile, vowed to defeat what he called the "terrorists" behind the relentless attacks and chase them out of the battered country.

    Violence has been on the rise across Iraq following a deadly crackdown by government forces on a Sunni protest camp in April, but attacks against civilians and security forces have especially spiked since the start of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan in early July.

    The increase in the bloodshed has raised fears of a return to the widespread killing that pushed the country to the brink of civil war after the 2003 US-led invasion.

    The deadliest among Tuesday's attacks came before sunset, when a car bomb exploded near a market in Baghdad's southeastern suburbs of Nahrwan, police officials said.

    That blast killed six people and wounded 17.

    Later, a car bomb went off in a busy market in Baghdad's downtown neighbourhood of Karradah, killing five people and wounding 18.

    At night, a car bomb hit near a cafe in the city's northeastern suburb of Husseiniyah, killing five people and wounding 15 others.

    Minutes later, another car bomb exploded in Husseiniyah, killing three people and wounding 10 others.

    In southeastern Baghdad, a car bomb went off near an outdoor market in the Shiite neighborhood of Zafaraniyah as people were shopping before Iftar, the evening meal that beaks the daytime fasting during Ramadan.

    Three people were killed and 10 were wounded there, officials said.

    Also, a bombing in a commercial street in the Dora area in southern Baghdad killed four and wounded 11.

    Police said another car bomb exploded near a market before sundown in southwestern Baghdad, killing five people and wounding 15.

    Also, a car bomb exploded late Monday night near an ice cream shop in the Abu Dashir area in southwestern Baghdad, killing five people and wounding 16.

    Popular outdoor places such as cafes and markets have been a favorite target for insurgents.

    With Tuesday's deaths, at least 657 people have been killed since the start of Ramadan, according to an Associated Press count, making it the bloodiest Ramadan in Iraq since 2007.

    Diplomatic Efforts to End Standoff in Egypt Fail
    By RUDAW

    Source APTN

    Egypt's presidency said Wednesday that more than 10 days of diplomatic efforts to find a way out of the standoff between the country's military-backed interim leadership and the Muslim Brotherhood have failed.

    The statement follows a flurry of diplomatic visits by envoys from the United States, the EU and Arab Gulf states to defuse the crisis between the government and supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi, who hails from the Islamist group.

    The comments from the office of interim President Adly Mansour, who was installed by the military after the 3 July coup that overthrew Morsi, said the mediation efforts have ended and blamed the Brotherhood for the failure to reach a resolution.

    The presidency did not say what the interim leadership's next step would be, but in the past week authorities have outlined plans to break up two major sit-ins in Cairo by Morsi's supporters.

    Diplomatic efforts were largely centered on finding a peaceful way out of the crisis to avert the use of force against the sit-ins.

    Already more than 250 people have been killed in violence since the military ousted Morsi more than a month ago. His supporters have staged daily protests since.

    The presidency's statement was released a day after a visit to Cairo by two US Senators who urged the military-backed interim government to release Islamist figures as a gesture to Brotherhood or risk making "a huge mistake."

    Syrian Kurds and the Paradox of Western Democracies

    By AMIR SHARIFI

    In the Western mainstream press and media, we have rarely come across reports of the unfolding religious violence against Kurds in northern Syria (Rojava Western Kurdistan in Kurdish) over the past weeks.

    It is now a known fact that al-Qaeda affiliated armed bands have opened a new front to reemerge in the Middle East.

    According to Kurdish media and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) the Al Nusra Front and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant( ISIL), armed bands, have been laying siege and clashing with Kurdish Popular Protection Units (YPG) and civilians, killing, kidnapping, looting, imprisoning, and torturing civilians and combatants.

    The Observatory on July 31 reported: “Fighters of Al-Nusra Front and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) have seized control of Tall Aren village in Aleppo province and are laying siege to another village nearby, Tall Hassel… they have taken hostage around 200 civilians from the inhabitants of the two villages.”

    These brutalities are traceable to January 2013, when jihadists using heavy weaponry, attacked Sere Kaniye (Ras al-Ain in Arabic), killing many and taking a great many hostages. Since July 18, their war of terror has intensified, leaving a new trail of pillaging, destruction, and death.

    There is undeniable evidence that groups such as the Ahfad al Rasoul Brigade, a Free Syrian Army (FSA) unit, are being militarily supported and funded by Qatar. The Syrian National Coalition and the Free Syrian Army, by not condemning these brutal attacks, have shown their complicity in these crimes.

    Jabhat al Nusra is said to have been receiving military and logistical support from Turkey.

    Now that Saleh Muslim, the co-chair of the Democratic Union Party ( PYD) was officially invited to Turkey for negotiations over the Kurdish autonomy and the Turkish role and vested interest in the Syrian conflict -- as pointed out by Cengiz Candar last month -- Turkey may be “making a U turn.” It may be changing its policy toward Kurds in Syria and reassessing its relations with Kurds and possibly distancing itself from being associated with forces affiliated with Al-Qaeda forces.

    As a corollary, Turkey may exert influence on the Syrian National Coalition to recognize Kurdish representation and redirect the fight against the Syrian regime.

    Exacerbated by the spiraling crisis in Syria, beset by bestial armed bands of Islamist jihadists, surrounded by an economic blockade, Kurds will find it difficult to sustain themselves unless they receive humanitarian aid and at least the Western moral support in their fight against pro al-Qaeda forces and religious fanatics.

    In light of these savage attacks, one cannot but wonder why the US, European Union, and the UN are reticent about this bitter and frightening reality. Are not Kurdish human rights being violated by the most notorious forces in history? How is it that Kurds are left alone to fight cannibals who adhere to no moral imperatives except their own blind and outmoded dogmas and nihilistic culture against the right to life, democracy and freedom?

    Syrian Kurds and other ethnic and religious communities are right to ask why no one is saying anything or doing anything to condemn and stop the ritualized violence of these groups.

    The West has so far followed Turkey. Ironically, in the choice between the so-called fictitious regional security and the Islamist orthodoxy, they have selected the former. Kurds do not expect the West or their neighbors to bring them human rights. They understand what these rights are and have been preparing the ground for the creation of a civil and democratic society despite all the odds and flaws in their social and nationalist movement for change.

    They only hope that the world community of human rights would understand their plight and aspirations.

    In the end, the specter of ethnic cleansing and sectarian violence is threatening tens of thousands of Kurds and other minorities, with catastrophic repercussions beyond the borders of Syria -- as the tragedy of Iraq has shown with painful clarity.

    It is troublesome that the spread of religious violence by the Islamists is receiving little or no attention from the world community. Rather than lending their support to and accommodating ultra conservative religious forces that are ideologically aligned with Saudi Arabia and Qatar, the Western democracies could follow a more balanced approach in helping the process of democratization in Syria by calling for the recognition and inclusion of the legitimate demands of religious, ethnic, and linguistic minorities in the post Assad Syria.

    It is both a moral imperative and a political necessity for the West to stand up for human and civil rights of Kurds who are in the process of building institutions and experiencing a nascent secular democracy away from Bashar al Assad’s autocratic rule and imported gun thugs and fanatics.
