BGG ~ What Barzani is really saying here is – the Kurds want negotiation starting with a recognition of their referendum… because Baghdad (and most of the rest of the world) has rejected it wholesale. The “conditions” they are rejecting are the premise of unity and their own constitution. Consequently – I suspect everyone will be wishing they were more respectful and adherent to their own constitution before this is over with.

Washington: We will intervene in favor of Kurdistan in the event of a military attack

BGG ~ This was a report disseminated by a Saudi source. Likely a “Saudi intel” fed news source. Firstly, this threat is predicated on an attack against the Kurds by either Iran, Turkey or Baghdad. The thing to keep in mind, Iran and Turkey are mortal enemies of the Saudis, Baghdad to a lesser extent. Who does this threat benefit most? This sounds an awful lot like Saudi disinformation to me. Not credible. Further – not to add any credence to this report, but the Kurds plainly held this vote in direct defiance to virtually every world power. No one wanted this – EXCEPT BARZANI. Watch these upcoming provincial elections close. This will be a true bellwether.

 IMF Staff Concludes Visit on Iraq

September 28, 2017

“End-of-Mission press releases include statements of IMF staff teams that convey preliminary findings after a visit to a country. The views expressed in this statement are those of the IMF staff and do not necessarily represent the views of the IMF’s Executive Board. This mission will not result in a Board discussion.”

The Iraqi authorities and the staff of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) held discussions in Amman from September 17 to 28, 2017 on the third review of Iraq’s 36-month Stand-By Arrangement (SBA). The IMF Executive Board approved the SBA on July 7, 2016 (See Press Release No. 16/321), and completed the second review on August 1, 2017 (See Press Release No. 17/311).

At the end of the mission, Mr. Christian Josz, Mission Chief for Iraq, issued the following statement:

“The Iraqi authorities and IMF staff started discussions on the third review of the SBA and made good progress towards reaching agreement on a draft 2018 budget in line with the SBA. These discussions will continue during the upcoming IMF and World Bank Annual Meetings from October 13–15, 2017 in Washington, DC.”

“During the visit, the team met with the Acting Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI), Dr. Ali Mohsen Ismail Al-Allaq, Acting Deputy Minister of Finance, Dr. Maher Johan, , and officials from the Prime Minister’s office, ministries of finance, oil, planning, and electricity, the State Oil Marketing Organization, the Central Statistical Organization, the Central Bank of Iraq, and the Board of Supreme Audit. The team would like to thank the Iraqi authorities for their cooperation and the open and productive discussions.”

The Central Bank: the draft zeros delete will be implemented in early 2017

Tomorrow Press / Baghdad confirmed the governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, on Thursday that the deletion of zeros project will be implemented in early 2017, indicating that the bank began to develop the first steps of the project.

Keywords and said for “Tomorrow ‘s Press”, said that ” the goal of deleting three zeros from the Iraqi currency is to support the Iraqi dinar and make it a competitor for foreign currency”, returned him as ” a strategic project that will serve the country ‘s economy.”

“The bank is working on the mechanisms used towards the implementation of this project is expected to start by the beginning of 2017 , ” noting that ” the central bank began the first steps of the project by selecting the designs and companies and the country in which it will be printed currency.”

He noted that ” the launch of the new currency does not mean the destruction of the old currencies , but it will continue to trade to about ten years , ” pointing out that “this period will enable the central bank to withdraw the old currency in accordance with the mechanisms will maintain market liquidity.”

The Finance Committee in the former House of Representatives revealed, (2013 August 15), for the postponement of the process of deleting zeros from the currency until after the next parliamentary elections, while confirming that the government is demanding guarantees for non – substituent currency back to the markets and forge.

BGG ~ This paragraph was some historical perspective leading up to the first part of the article…

The Central Bank of Iraq confirmed, in (April 25, 2013), that there is no intention at the present time to restructure the currency and the deletion of three zeros of them, denying reports that in this regard.

BGG ~ More historical background on the subject – referring to the 2013 time period (NOT CURRENT EVENTS)…

It is noteworthy that the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers announced (April 12, 2012), wait for the application of the process of deleting zeros from the national currency, which had to stop all procedures related to the process mentioned until further notice.

BGG ~ This paragraph pretty much confirms the instance cited on PG 84 of the SIGR Report delivered to the US Congress in 2012. – This was a Maliki era decision. Obvious crookery going on.

It is noteworthy that some economists believe that Iraq is not ready at present to delete the zeros from the dinar, noting that the deletion needs to be a security and political stability as well as economic stability.

BGG ~ ….”the deletion needs to be a (in) security and political stability as well as economic stability”…. This last bit seem to be a more recent argument. It would appear the “experts” in this camp have been winning the argument. However, it is plain to see the UN, IMF and WB are helping very much in all these areas, helping to bridge the gap and move Iraq into an era of security, political stability and economic well-being.

Alghadpress.com

BGG ~ Though this piece was likely a “re-hash” of sorts, it has some more recent lingo added. Which lends some credence to it’s veracity. It is likely they just added some lines, rather than go back and re-write the whole subject in a current article.

November 7, 2016

BAGHDAD / IBN – The governor of the Iraqi Central Bank on the Keywords that project to delete the zeros will be implemented in early 2017, indicating that the bank began to develop the first steps of the project.

BGG ~ This says they have already began to develop the first steps – indicating they are into the process (in late 2016). This would imply they are further along today… and likely many of the AML, electronic banking and international banking interactions are leading up to the implementation of this project.

Keywords and said in a statement on Monday, received Iraqi transmitter Network (IBN) a copy of the “The purpose of deleting three zeros from the Iraqi currency is to support the Iraqi dinar and make it a competitor of foreign currency,” pointing out that “this strategic project will serve the country’s economy if it will be inclusion of the Iraqi dinar in the global basket of currencies in the vital world exchanges. ”

BGG ~ This is a key phrase: “…will serve the country’s economy if it will be inclusion of the Iraqi dinar in the global basket of currencies in the vital world exchanges. “…

He added that the bank “is working on mechanisms for the implementation of this project is expected to start at the beginning of 2017,” noting that “the central bank began the first steps of the project through the selection of designs, companies and the country in which the currency will be printed.”

He pointed out that “the new currency entry does not mean the destruction of ancient coins, but will continue to trade for about ten years,” pointing out that “this period will enable the central bank to withdraw the old currency in accordance with the dynamics and mechanics in order to preserve liquidity in the market.”

BGG ~ This is the first of the two “flashback” articles I mentioned on the Conference Call the other night. This was published in early Nov, 2016. Obviously, it is easy to see why there was so much excitement over the “first part” of 2017.

BECAUSE THEY SAID SO…

However, there now seems to be have been more to the story. Lots of info in this piece to reflect on though.

Another reason to repost and reflect on this, they have said nothing contradictory since. They are obviously not “on schedule” but they are not denying it either.

BGG ~ You do realize what they are talking about here – right? This is a fairly direct reference to the “deleting of the zeros” project in a veiled sort of way. Fact.

“Iraq’s agreement with other countries for commercial exchange through the local currency and abandonment of the dollar will have a positive return on the economy,” Smisem said, “noting that” trade in local currency will reduce the inflation rate significantly because of the lack of the need to buy Dollar or reduce the proportion of purchase. “

Even though they are saying they can’t do it right now… doesn’t mean they won’t – or this person has the final say in such matters.

If they want to re-engage with other world economies, this will happen. All of these items appear on a collision course.

However, they won’t be able to lay off the dollar or fully engage internationally at the current value… it is too much of imbalance.

It is going to be interesting to see the outcome of these next meetings with the IMF starting on the 13th here in Washington D.C.

The Iraqi authorities and the staff of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) held discussions in Amman from September 17 to 28, 2017 on the third review of Iraq’s 36-month Stand-By Arrangement (SBA). The IMF Executive Board approved the SBA on July 7, 2016 (See Press Release No. 16/321), and completed the second review on August 1, 2017 (See Press Release No. 17/311).

At the end of the mission, Mr. Christian Josz, Mission Chief for Iraq, issued the following statement:

“The Iraqi authorities and IMF staff started discussions on the third review of the SBA and made good progress towards reaching agreement on a draft 2018 budget in line with the SBA.

The Central Bank: the draft zeros delete will be implemented in early 2017

Tomorrow Press / Baghdad confirmed the governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, on Thursday that the deletion of zeros project will be implemented in early 2017, indicating that the bank began to develop the first steps of the project.

Keywords and said for “Tomorrow ‘s Press”, said that ” the goal of deleting three zeros from the Iraqi currency is to support the Iraqi dinar and make it a competitor for foreign currency”, returned him as ” a strategic project that will serve the country ‘s economy.”

“The bank is working on the mechanisms used towards the implementation of this project is expected to start by the beginning of 2017 , ” noting that ” the central bank began the first steps of the project by selecting the designs and companies and the country in which it will be printed currency.”

He noted that ” the launch of the new currency does not mean the destruction of the old currencies , but it will continue to trade to about ten years , ” pointing out that “this period will enable the central bank to withdraw the old currency in accordance with the mechanisms will maintain market liquidity.”

The Finance Committee in the former House of Representatives revealed, (2013 August 15), for the postponement of the process of deleting zeros from the currency until after the next parliamentary elections, while confirming that the government is demanding guarantees for non – substituent currency back to the markets and forge.

BGG ~ This paragraph was some historical perspective leading up to the first part of the article…

The Central Bank of Iraq confirmed, in (April 25, 2013), that there is no intention at the present time to restructure the currency and the deletion of three zeros of them, denying reports that in this regard.

BGG ~ More historical background on the subject – referring to the 2013 time period (NOT CURRENT EVENTS)…

It is noteworthy that the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers announced (April 12, 2012), wait for the application of the process of deleting zeros from the national currency, which had to stop all procedures related to the process mentioned until further notice.

BGG ~ This paragraph pretty much confirms the instance cited on PG 84 of the SIGR Report delivered to the US Congress in 2012. – This was a Maliki era decision. Obvious crookery going on.

It is noteworthy that some economists believe that Iraq is not ready at present to delete the zeros from the dinar, noting that the deletion needs to be a security and political stability as well as economic stability.

BGG ~ ….”the deletion needs to be a (in) security and political stability as well as economic stability”…. This last bit seem to be a more recent argument. It would appear the “experts” in this camp have been winning the argument. However, it is plain to see the UN, IMF and WB are helping very much in all these areas, helping to bridge the gap and move Iraq into an era of security, political stability and economic well-being.

Alghadpress.com

BGG ~ Though this piece was likely a “re-hash” of sorts, it has some more recent lingo added. Which lends some credence to it’s veracity. It is likely they just added some lines, rather than go back and re-write the whole subject in a current article.

Tomorrow Press / Baghdad confirmed the governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, on Thursday that the deletion of zeros project will be implemented in early 2017, indicating that the bank began to develop the first steps of the project.

Keywords and said for “Tomorrow ‘s Press”, said that ” the goal of deleting three zeros from the Iraqi currency is to support the Iraqi dinar and make it a competitor for foreign currency”, returned him as ” a strategic project that will serve the country ‘s economy.”

“The bank is working on the mechanisms used towards the implementation of this project is expected to start by the beginning of 2017 , ” noting that ” the central bank began the first steps of the project by selecting the designs and companies and the country in which it will be printed currency.”

The Finance Committee in the former House of Representatives revealed, (2013 August 15), for the postponement of the process of deleting zeros from the currency until after the next parliamentary elections, while confirming that the government is demanding guarantees for non – substituent currency back to the markets and forge.

BGG ~ This paragraph was some historical perspective leading up to the first part of the article…

The Central Bank of Iraq confirmed, in (April 25, 2013), that there is no intention at the present time to restructure the currency and the deletion of three zeros of them, denying reports that in this regard.

BGG ~ More historical background on the subject – referring to the 2013 time period (NOT CURRENT EVENTS)…

It is noteworthy that the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers announced (April 12, 2012), wait for the application of the process of deleting zeros from the national currency, which had to stop all procedures related to the process mentioned until further notice.

BGG ~ This paragraph pretty much confirms the instance cited on PG 84 of the SIGR Report delivered to the US Congress in 2012. – This was a Maliki era decision. Obvious crookery going on.

It is noteworthy that some economists believe that Iraq is not ready at present to delete the zeros from the dinar, noting that the deletion needs to be a security and political stability as well as economic stability.

BGG ~ ….”the deletion needs to be a (in) security and political stability as well as economic stability”…. This last bit seem to be a more recent argument. It would appear the “experts” in this camp have been winning the argument. However, it is plain to see the UN, IMF and WB are helping very much in all these areas, helping to bridge the gap and move Iraq into an era of security, political stability and economic well-being.

BGG ~ Though this piece was likely a “re-hash” of sorts, it has some more recent lingo added. Which lends some credence to it’s veracity. It is likely they just added some lines, rather than go back and re-write the whole subject in a current article.

CENTRAL BANK: DELETE ZEROS IN EARLY 2017

November 7, 2016

BAGHDAD / IBN – The governor of the Iraqi Central Bank on the Keywords that project to delete the zeros will be implemented in early 2017, indicating that the bank began to develop the first steps of the project.

BGG ~ This says they have already began to develop the first steps – indicating they are into the process (in late 2016). This would imply they are further along today… and likely many of the AML, electronic banking and international banking interactions are leading up to the implementation of this project.

Keywords and said in a statement on Monday, received Iraqi transmitter Network (IBN) a copy of the “The purpose of deleting three zeros from the Iraqi currency is to support the Iraqi dinar and make it a competitor of foreign currency,” pointing out that “this strategic project will serve the country’s economy if it will be inclusion of the Iraqi dinar in the global basket of currencies in the vital world exchanges. ”

BGG ~ This is a key phrase: “…will serve the country’s economy if it will be inclusion of the Iraqi dinar in the global basket of currencies in the vital world exchanges. “…

He added that the bank “is working on mechanisms for the implementation of this project is expected to start at the beginning of 2017,” noting that “the central bank began the first steps of the project through the selection of designs, companies and the country in which the currency will be printed.”

He pointed out that “the new currency entry does not mean the destruction of ancient coins, but will continue to trade for about ten years,” pointing out that “this period will enable the central bank to withdraw the old currency in accordance with the dynamics and mechanics in order to preserve liquidity in the market.”

Ibnnews.net

BGG ~ This is the first of the two “flashback” articles I mentioned on the Conference Call the other night. This was published in early Nov, 2016. Obviously, it is easy to see why there was so much excitement over the “first part” of 2017.

BECAUSE THEY SAID SO…

However, there now seems to be have been more to the story. Lots of info in this piece to reflect on though.

Another reason to repost and reflect on this, they have said nothing contradictory since. They are obviously not “on schedule” but they are not denying it either.

The Iraqi authorities and the staff of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) held discussions in Amman from September 17 to 28, 2017 on the third review of Iraq’s 36-month Stand-By Arrangement (SBA). The IMF Executive Board approved the SBA on July 7, 2016 (See Press Release No. 16/321), and completed the second review on August 1, 2017 (See Press Release No. 17/311).

At the end of the mission, Mr. Christian Josz, Mission Chief for Iraq, issued the following statement:

“The Iraqi authorities and IMF staff started discussions on the third review of the SBA and made good progress towards reaching agreement on a draft 2018 budget in line with the SBA. These discussions will continue during the upcoming IMF and World Bank Annual Meetings from October 13–15, 2017 in Washington, DC.”

“During the visit, the team met with the Acting Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI), Dr. Ali Mohsen Ismail Al-Allaq, Acting Deputy Minister of Finance, Dr. Maher Johan, , and officials from the Prime Minister’s office, ministries of finance, oil, planning, and electricity, the State Oil Marketing Organization, the Central Statistical Organization, the Central Bank of Iraq, and the Board of Supreme Audit. The team would like to thank the Iraqi authorities for their cooperation and the open and productive discussions.”

Stryker (Dinar Guru) – There has been a lack of news this weekend pointing to any possible revaluation of the Iraq dinar for today (October 1, 2017).

Barzani is isolated and lives in a psychological crisis after the referendum

Baghdad – Journal News – The Iraqi coalition forces rejected the “Sunni Arab component” to establish a state that is not supported by local, regional and international, except for Israel in the north of the country. The Kurdish political source said that the head of the Kurdistan region (outgoing) Massoud Barzani is living a difficult psychological situation because of Baghdad’s unexpected positions after the The referendum.

“The Sunni component strongly rejects the establishment of a Kurdish state in northern Iraq and also rejects the expropriation of land from the Nineveh Plain and other areas and forcibly annexing it to Kurdistan,” said the alliance’s deputy, Nasr al-Jubouri.

Jubouri ruled out “a military solution to end the crisis of the Barzani referendum and can not end the crises by a military solution.”

A Kurdish source said that the head of the Kurdistan region (outgoing) Massoud Barzani is currently living in a Kurdish internal crisis and international condemnation of the referendum, despite warnings and international rejection.

“Barzani is living a political siege at the local and regional levels and is waiting for a miracle to save him from what has become a hidden fate for Kurdistan because of the referendum,” the source, who asked not to be named, told the Journal News. “Barzani is living in a psychological crisis now and he has chosen to remain silent and is isolated from the political environment except for those close to his party leadership,” he

BGG ~ Though this is a pretty serious indictment on his situation, I am skeptical his “ship is sunk”. I agree in this regard though, I don’t think this was exactly the response he had hoped for “post-referendum”…

Just in case I will be up late tonight to see if there is any changes in the IQD from an exotic currency to a hard currency status.   [post 2 of 2]

The Kurdish political source said that the head of the Kurdistan region (outgoing) Massoud Barzani is living a difficult psychological situation because of Baghdad’s unexpected positions after the The referendum.

Jubouri ruled out “a military solution to end the crisis of the Barzani referendum and can not end the crises by a military solution.”

A Kurdish source said that the head of the Kurdistan region (outgoing) Massoud Barzani is currently living in a Kurdish internal crisis and international condemnation of the referendum, despite warnings and international rejection.

“Barzani is living a political siege at the local and regional levels and is waiting for a miracle to save him from what has become a hidden fate for Kurdistan because of the referendum,” the source, who asked not to be named, told the Journal News. “Barzani is living in a psychological crisis now and he has chosen to remain silent and is isolated from the political environment except for those close to his party leadership,” he

CENTRAL BANK: DELETE ZEROS IN EARLY 2017

November 7, 2016

BAGHDAD / IBN – The governor of the Iraqi Central Bank on the Keywords that project to delete the zeros will be implemented in early 2017, indicating that the bank began to develop the first steps of the project.

BGG ~ This says they have already began to develop the first steps – indicating they are into the process (in late 2016). This would imply they are further along today… and likely many of the AML, electronic banking and international banking interactions are leading up to the implementation of this project.

Keywords and said in a statement on Monday, received Iraqi transmitter Network (IBN) a copy of the “The purpose of deleting three zeros from the Iraqi currency is to support the Iraqi dinar and make it a competitor of foreign currency,” pointing out that “this strategic project will serve the country’s economy if it will be inclusion of the Iraqi dinar in the global basket of currencies in the vital world exchanges. ”

BGG ~ This is a key phrase: “…will serve the country’s economy if it will be inclusion of the Iraqi dinar in the global basket of currencies in the vital world exchanges. “…

He added that the bank “is working on mechanisms for the implementation of this project is expected to start at the beginning of 2017,” noting that “the central bank began the first steps of the project through the selection of designs, companies and the country in which the currency will be printed.”

He pointed out that “the new currency entry does not mean the destruction of ancient coins, but will continue to trade for about ten years,” pointing out that “this period will enable the central bank to withdraw the old currency in accordance with the dynamics and mechanics in order to preserve liquidity in the market.”

Ibnnews.net

BGG ~ This is the first of the two “flashback” articles I mentioned on the Conference Call the other night. This was published in early Nov, 2016. Obviously, it is easy to see why there was so much excitement over the “first part” of 2017.

BECAUSE THEY SAID SO…

However, there now seems to be have been more to the story. Lots of info in this piece to reflect on though.

Another reason to repost and reflect on this, they have said nothing contradictory since. They are obviously not “on schedule” but they are not denying it either.

The Central Bank: the draft zeros delete will be implemented in early 2017

Tomorrow Press / Baghdad confirmed the governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, on Thursday that the deletion of zeros project will be implemented in early 2017, indicating that the bank began to develop the first steps of the project.

Keywords and said for “Tomorrow ‘s Press”, said that ” the goal of deleting three zeros from the Iraqi currency is to support the Iraqi dinar and make it a competitor for foreign currency”, returned him as ” a strategic project that will serve the country ‘s economy.”

“The bank is working on the mechanisms used towards the implementation of this project is expected to start by the beginning of 2017 , ” noting that ” the central bank began the first steps of the project by selecting the designs and companies and the country in which it will be printed currency.”

He noted that ” the launch of the new currency does not mean the destruction of the old currencies , but it will continue to trade to about ten years , ” pointing out that “this period will enable the central bank to withdraw the old currency in accordance with the mechanisms will maintain market liquidity.”

The Finance Committee in the former House of Representatives revealed, (2013 August 15), for the postponement of the process of deleting zeros from the currency until after the next parliamentary elections, while confirming that the government is demanding guarantees for non – substituent currency back to the markets and forge.

BGG ~ This paragraph was some historical perspective leading up to the first part of the article…

The Central Bank of Iraq confirmed, in (April 25, 2013), that there is no intention at the present time to restructure the currency and the deletion of three zeros of them, denying reports that in this regard.

BGG ~ More historical background on the subject – referring to the 2013 time period (NOT CURRENT EVENTS)…

It is noteworthy that the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers announced (April 12, 2012), wait for the application of the process of deleting zeros from the national currency, which had to stop all procedures related to the process mentioned until further notice.

BGG ~ This paragraph pretty much confirms the instance cited on PG 84 of the SIGR Report delivered to the US Congress in 2012. – This was a Maliki era decision. Obvious crookery going on.

It is noteworthy that some economists believe that Iraq is not ready at present to delete the zeros from the dinar, noting that the deletion needs to be a security and political stability as well as economic stability.

BGG ~ ….”the deletion needs to be a (in) security and political stability as well as economic stability”…. This last bit seem to be a more recent argument. It would appear the “experts” in this camp have been winning the argument. However, it is plain to see the UN, IMF and WB are helping very much in all these areas, helping to bridge the gap and move Iraq into an era of security, political stability and economic well-being.

Alghadpress.com

BGG ~ Though this piece was likely a “re-hash” of sorts, it has some more recent lingo added. Which lends some credence to it’s veracity. It is likely they just added some lines, rather than go back and re-write the whole subject in a current article.

Stryker (Dinar Guru) – There has been a lack of news this weekend pointing to any possible revaluation of the Iraq dinar for today (October 1, 2017). So for those that are looking for a new rate to be announced today or tomorrow I’m afraid it’s just not going to take place until we see that the CBI Law amendments are passed. Our newshounds are watching for Tuesday’s parliament agenda publication to confirm that the vote is going to take place then.   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

To the “Massoud Barzani,” the American-Zionist ally, and call him to justify the cause of his party’s battles with other parties, the killing of more than 4000-8000 fighters and a Kurdish citizen.

This is a list of some of the crimes “Barzani”:

The Central Bank denies the suspension of dealing with the Territory (9/29)

BGG ~ First they did cut them off – then they didn’t. I wonder which it is. Probably did. We’ll soon find out. My guess is – as things get tighter and tighter… the more reasonable the Kurds will get. Of course, there is the looming elections in Nov. This could see a change in the whole political landscape in Kurdistan… as well there SHOULD BE.

Sully ~ Good Morning. I wanted to say I too, remain bullish, in spite of what seems to be a never-ending Gerbil wheel we are on. I feel this way because of several reasons but I have one “bottom line” reason which concerns both the CBI and Iraq.

1) The Central Bank continues to keep this financial boat trim with auctions and such but it comes at a cost. This cost is reducing their reserves.

A) Each day as Iraq spends to rebuild and spends to cover debt it gets worse.

B) I feel there is drop dead “time-frame” for this country. It might be weeks or months. There is no way to know.  Further, there is a point at which they will face daily – the choice of bankruptcy or getting off the program rate.

C) Trying to make their play dough work is sapping reserves.

As such, I remain bullish and thank you all for reading this and putting the incredible time into DU.

Parliament authorizes the government to arrest Barzani

BAGHDAD / Baghdadiya News .. The House of Representatives in its regular session, on Wednesday, a decision on the referendum referendum in the Kurdistan region, while a legal expert said that the implementation of the decision entrusted to the executive authority.

The decision of the Council of Representatives includes 13 paragraphs, including the obligation of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces to take all constitutional and legal measures to preserve the unity of Iraq and to confirm the decision of the Ministerial Council for National Security to judicial follow-up of those responsible for carrying out the referendum, including Kurdistan Region President Massoud Barzani.

The text of the parliament’s decision to close the border ports outside the control of the federal authority, the return of northern oil fields in Kirkuk and the disputed areas, and take measures to remove the governor of Kirkuk, in addition to informing the States that have consulates and representatives in the Kurdistan region to close, Conditional dialogue only after the cancellation of the results of the referendum.

For his part, the legal expert Tariq Harb that the decision issued by the parliament, not implemented immediately, but is deposited with the executive authority.

He added that “the Council of Ministers will be the implementation of the decision of the parliament,” noting that “the Council of Ministers is the supreme authority according to Article (80) of the Constitution, which states that the planning and implementation of the general policy of the State of the Council of Ministers,” adding that ” The ministers were aware of the implementation of the resolution. ”

“The government implements this paragraph by arresting Barzani and those responsible for carrying out the referendum and handing them over to the judiciary,” Harb said.

“The arrest of those responsible for the implementation of the referendum does not require the issuance of arrest warrants, because according to the law, the implementation of the referendum is a” crime is a witness, “and does not need warrants arrest to arrest the perpetrator,” stressing that “Massoud Barzani after this decision is considered Prosecuted and wanted by Baghdad. ”

Baghdad News Agency

BGG ~ Before everyone gets all “up in arms” about what is right, who they support, or what they think they “know”…

Let me ask a few questions.

So what constitutes treason?

Why is Barzani still in power 2 years after his second term expired?

Why is the KRG Parliament suspended?

Why did his family choose to purchase large estates in the U.S. – Virginia to be exact (other than the Nov. 1 elections he insists he won’t be a part of…)

On one final note – I’ll recall to your attention, Barzani and the Kurds had the final swing vote with which to remove Maliki in his first term (as I recall – it might have been later…), but instead, chose to NOT USE IT. Why?

Make no mistake… I am a Kurdish sympathizer. However, I am for the Kurdish people… not the Kurdish leadership. None of them. They are all crooked.

_____________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) – …As a result of the Kurdistan referendum, the Parliamentary Finance Committee has asked the CBI to suspend Kurdish banks from the daily currency auctions. It appears the CBI has confirmed they are in fact doing so with the documentation aboutWhat does this mean to us? It means that the decision to do this is counter productive to the goals set forth by the recent IMF Stand by Agreement and efforts from the UST and IMF to help Iraq meet the conditions to move to Article VIII.  …the sole remaining obstacle was to demonstrate the CBI could manage the dinar within Iraq and maintain a spread between the Official Rate and the Market Rate (street rate) of 2% or less…the IMF requires this to he held for 90 days before compliance would be met.  The goal is 1200 to $1 or about.The decision now to prevent the Kurdistan region has had an effect on this spread as reported today it is now 1275 to $1 in the region.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Baghdad gives Erbil three days to hand over control of airports

BAGHDAD, Iraq – The Iraqi Council of Ministers has decided to bring the Kurdistan Region’s airports under the authority of the central government, giving Erbil three days to hand them over to Baghdad.

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi announced the decision in his weekly news conference after the meeting of the Council of Ministers. If Erbil does not comply within the three days, Baghdad will close the airports, he asserted.

“We decided to halt all airlines, travel, and the landing of planes from regional and world countries at Erbil and Sulaimani airports, and vice versa. The decision will be implemented within three days, by Friday,” at 6pm, Abadi said, adding they have contacted countries with regard to this.

Humanitarian and emergency flights will not be affected provided they obtain prior approval from Baghdad. Domestic flights are not affected.

Abadi also demanded all oil revenues of the Kurdistan Region to be returned to the control of federal authorities.

He tweeted that those who want to “weaken” Iraq’s sovereignty have “miscalculated.”

Abadi stressed that the referendum will hurt Kurdistan and Iraq as a whole and his government will impose its authority according to the constitution.

“We will not extend our hand to touch the honor of Kurdish citizens,” Abadi added.

“The leaders of the Kurdistan Region didn’t listen to the calls for not holding the referendum and we will not hold discussions on its result,” Abadi said.

Flights have been landing and taking off from both Erbil and Sulaimani airports, according to their respective websites.

Kurdistan Votes to Leave Iraq:
What Happens Next?

Residents of Iraqi Kurdistan voted Monday in a controversial referendum on whether to declare independence from Iraq, with preliminary results showing almost 92% in favor of separation. We’re still waiting for (hopefully) detailed official results so we can map out how different districts voted. But in the meantime, let’s answer some of the big questions:

Will Kurdistan become independent now?

The Kurdistan region’s government considers this vote official and “binding”, in contrast to an informal 2005 referendum, even though the Iraqi federal government in Baghdad considers it completely illegal. But it was never intended to trigger an automatic declaration of independence. Instead, Kurdistan leader Masoud Barzani has promised to use a “YES” vote as leverage to negotiate independence with Iraqi government. So far, no date has been set for Kurdistan’s declaration of independence, and it could still be years away.

What if Iraq never agrees to let Kurdistan be independent?

When asked in an interview this June, Barzani said “It’s too early to say that”. But he did rule out violent means, or any end to cooperation in fighting the so-called “Islamic State (IS; formerly ISIS/ISIL). If Kurdistan’s government eventually feels it’s reached the end of the road in negotiations with the Baghdad, it could choose to declare independence unilaterally – that is, without anyone else’s approval. But the international community rarely rewards that kind of independence declaration, and at best Kurdistan would become the next Kosovo, recognized by half the world but rejected by the other, and blocked from membership in major organizations like the UN.

Which countries would recognize Kurdistan’s independence?

If Kurdistan successfully reaches an agreement with Baghdad before declaring independence, like South Sudan did in 2011, it will probably be recognized by almost all the world’s countries. But if it declares independence unilaterally, its prospects aren’t so good. The Iraqi government and neighboring countries Iran, Turkey, and Syria all strongly opposed Kurdistan even having this referendum, and would be even more livid at an outright declaration of independence. Major world powers have been more lukewarm: The US and Germany opposed the timing of the referendum, but might be sympathetic to eventual independence, while Russia and France have declined to take sides at all. There is one country that gave its full support to the referendum, and would be most likely to recognize an independent Kurdistan: Israel. As a country that also sees itself as the best hope for protecting a persecuted ethnic group, Israel has a lot in common with Kurdistan. Because of that, Israeli leaders would be happy to have an ally in the region who’s not friendly with Iran and doesn’t share brotherly relations with the Arab Middle Eastern countries (Kurdistan’s people are mostly Muslim, but not Arab).

But isn’t Kurdistan a great candidate for independence?

Iraqi Kurdistan is often held up as an example of an aspiring country that would actually be more stable and democratic than the existing countries in the Middle East. And that may be true: Iraqi Kurdistan has been a lot more stable lately than Iraq, Syria, or Yemen, and it’s probably more democratic than most of the countries surrounding it. But it’s not that simple: the Kurdistan Regional Government has its fair share of problems too, dominated by one political party built around a family dynasty, led by a president whose term expired two years ago, and often accused of corruption. Meanwhile, many outside observers worry that Kurdish independence would destabilize the region, leading to violence as neighboring countries oppose the change and Kurdish minorities in those countries become emboldened. On the other hand, many feel that the Kurds, long persecuted by other countries’ governments, deserve a country of their own regardless of
the risks. And scary predictions about the future often don’t come to pass. PolGeoNow neither supports nor opposes Kurdistan’s independence. As always, we’re just here to report what happens.

Still, the people of Kurdistan really do want independence, right?

Though 92% is surprisingly high (a poll last month found 25% planning to vote “NO”), it seems that most Kurds in Iraq do want an independent country. Although the second-largest party in Kurdistan’s parliament opposed the timing of the referendum, it supports independence in principle and decided not to the boycott the vote.

Of course, not everyone in Kurdistan is a Kurd. The region is also home to many Turkmen, Arab, and Assyrian people (these are language-based cultural groupings; in terms of religion, Kurds, Arabs, and Turkmens are all mostly Sunni Muslims, with some Shiites and local minority religious groups, while Assyrians are mostly Christians). Many Arabs, who form the majority in Iraq as a whole, opposed the vote, especially in disputed territories like Kirkuk. But others supported it, having more faith in the Kurdistan government than Iraq’s. Turkmens and Assyrians were similarly split, with minority political parties representing them coming down on both sides of the debate.

Barzani is isolated and lives in a psychological crisis after the referendum

Baghdad – Journal News – The Iraqi coalition forces rejected the “Sunni Arab component” to establish a state that is not supported by local, regional and international, except for Israel in the north of the country. The Kurdish political source said that the head of the Kurdistan region (outgoing) Massoud Barzani is living a difficult psychological situation because of Baghdad’s unexpected positions after the The referendum.

“The Sunni component strongly rejects the establishment of a Kurdish state in northern Iraq and also rejects the expropriation of land from the Nineveh Plain and other areas and forcibly annexing it to Kurdistan,” said the alliance’s deputy, Nasr al-Jubouri.

Jubouri ruled out “a military solution to end the crisis of the Barzani referendum and can not end the crises by a military solution.”

A Kurdish source said that the head of the Kurdistan region (outgoing) Massoud Barzani is currently living in a Kurdish internal crisis and international condemnation of the referendum, despite warnings and international rejection.

“Barzani is living a political siege at the local and regional levels and is waiting for a miracle to save him from what has become a hidden fate for Kurdistan because of the referendum,” the source, who asked not to be named, told the Journal News. “Barzani is living in a psychological crisis now and he has chosen to remain silent and is isolated from the political environment except for those close to his party leadership,” he

Sully ~ Good Morning. I wanted to say I too, remain bullish, in spite of what seems to be a never-ending Gerbil wheel we are on. I feel this way because of several reasons but I have one “bottom line” reason which concerns both the CBI and Iraq.

1) The Central Bank continues to keep this financial boat trim with auctions and such but it comes at a cost. This cost is reducing their reserves.

A) Each day as Iraq spends to rebuild and spends to cover debt it gets worse.

B) I feel there is drop dead “time-frame” for this country. It might be weeks or months. There is no way to know.  Further, there is a point at which they will face daily – the choice of bankruptcy or getting off the program rate.

C) Trying to make their play dough work is sapping reserves.

As such, I remain bullish and thank you all for reading this and putting the incredible time into DU.

Parliament authorizes the government to arrest Barzani

BAGHDAD / Baghdadiya News .. The House of Representatives in its regular session, on Wednesday, a decision on the referendum referendum in the Kurdistan region, while a legal expert said that the implementation of the decision entrusted to the executive authority.

The decision of the Council of Representatives includes 13 paragraphs, including the obligation of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces to take all constitutional and legal measures to preserve the unity of Iraq and to confirm the decision of the Ministerial Council for National Security to judicial follow-up of those responsible for carrying out the referendum, including Kurdistan Region President Massoud Barzani.

The text of the parliament’s decision to close the border ports outside the control of the federal authority, the return of northern oil fields in Kirkuk and the disputed areas, and take measures to remove the governor of Kirkuk, in addition to informing the States that have consulates and representatives in the Kurdistan region to close, Conditional dialogue only after the cancellation of the results of the referendum.

For his part, the legal expert Tariq Harb that the decision issued by the parliament, not implemented immediately, but is deposited with the executive authority.

He added that “the Council of Ministers will be the implementation of the decision of the parliament,” noting that “the Council of Ministers is the supreme authority according to Article (80) of the Constitution, which states that the planning and implementation of the general policy of the State of the Council of Ministers,” adding that ” The ministers were aware of the implementation of the resolution. ”

“The government implements this paragraph by arresting Barzani and those responsible for carrying out the referendum and handing them over to the judiciary,” Harb said.

“The arrest of those responsible for the implementation of the referendum does not require the issuance of arrest warrants, because according to the law, the implementation of the referendum is a” crime is a witness, “and does not need warrants arrest to arrest the perpetrator,” stressing that “Massoud Barzani after this decision is considered Prosecuted and wanted by Baghdad. ”

Baghdad News Agency

BGG ~ Before everyone gets all “up in arms” about what is right, who they support, or what they think they “know”…

Let me ask a few questions.

So what constitutes treason?

Why is Barzani still in power 2 years after his second term expired?

Why is the KRG Parliament suspended?

Why did his family choose to purchase large estates in the U.S. – Virginia to be exact (other than the Nov. 1 elections he insists he won’t be a part of…)

On one final note – I’ll recall to your attention, Barzani and the Kurds had the final swing vote with which to remove Maliki in his first term (as I recall – it might have been later…), but instead, chose to NOT USE IT. Why?

Make no mistake… I am a Kurdish sympathizer. However, I am for the Kurdish people… not the Kurdish leadership. None of them. They are all crooked.

_____________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) – …As a result of the Kurdistan referendum, the Parliamentary Finance Committee has asked the CBI to suspend Kurdish banks from the daily currency auctions. It appears the CBI has confirmed they are in fact doing so with the documentation aboutWhat does this mean to us? It means that the decision to do this is counter productive to the goals set forth by the recent IMF Stand by Agreement and efforts from the UST and IMF to help Iraq meet the conditions to move to Article VIII.  …the sole remaining obstacle was to demonstrate the CBI could manage the dinar within Iraq and maintain a spread between the Official Rate and the Market Rate (street rate) of 2% or less…the IMF requires this to he held for 90 days before compliance would be met.  The goal is 1200 to $1 or about.The decision now to prevent the Kurdistan region has had an effect on this spread as reported today it is now 1275 to $1 in the region.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Kurdistan Votes to Leave Iraq:
What Happens Next?

Residents of Iraqi Kurdistan voted Monday in a controversial referendum on whether to declare independence from Iraq, with preliminary results showing almost 92% in favor of separation.

BGG ~ Before everyone gets all “up in arms” about what is right, who they support, or what they think they “know”…

Let me ask a few questions.

So what constitutes treason?

Why is Barzani still in power 2 years after his second term expired?

Why is the KRG Parliament suspended?

Why did his family choose to purchase large estates in the U.S. – Virginia to be exact (other than the Nov. 1 elections he insists he won’t be a part of…)

On one final note – I’ll recall to your attention, Barzani and the Kurds had the final swing vote with which to remove Maliki in his first term (as I recall – it might have been later…), but instead, chose to NOT USE IT. Why?

Make no mistake… I am a Kurdish sympathizer. However, I am for the Kurdish people… not the Kurdish leadership. None of them. They are all crooked.

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) – …As a result of the Kurdistan referendum, the Parliamentary Finance Committee has asked the CBI to suspend Kurdish banks from the daily currency auctions. It appears the CBI has confirmed they are in fact doing so with the documentation aboutWhat does this mean to us? It means that the decision to do this is counter productive to the goals set forth by the recent IMF Stand by Agreement and efforts from the UST and IMF to help Iraq meet the conditions to move to Article VIII.  …the sole remaining obstacle was to demonstrate the CBI could manage the dinar within Iraq and maintain a spread between the Official Rate and the Market Rate (street rate) of 2% or less…the IMF requires this to he held for 90 days before compliance would be met.  The goal is 1200 to $1 or about.The decision now to prevent the Kurdistan region has had an effect on this spread as reported today it is now 1275 to $1 in the region.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Baghdad gives Erbil three days to hand over control of airports

BAGHDAD, Iraq – The Iraqi Council of Ministers has decided to bring the Kurdistan Region’s airports under the authority of the central government, giving Erbil three days to hand them over to Baghdad.

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi announced the decision in his weekly news conference after the meeting of the Council of Ministers. If Erbil does not comply within the three days, Baghdad will close the airports, he asserted.

“We decided to halt all airlines, travel, and the landing of planes from regional and world countries at Erbil and Sulaimani airports, and vice versa. The decision will be implemented within three days, by Friday,” at 6pm, Abadi said, adding they have contacted countries with regard to this.

Humanitarian and emergency flights will not be affected provided they obtain prior approval from Baghdad. Domestic flights are not affected.

Abadi also demanded all oil revenues of the Kurdistan Region to be returned to the control of federal authorities.

He tweeted that those who want to “weaken” Iraq’s sovereignty have “miscalculated.”

Abadi stressed that the referendum will hurt Kurdistan and Iraq as a whole and his government will impose its authority according to the constitution.

“We will not extend our hand to touch the honor of Kurdish citizens,” Abadi added.

“The leaders of the Kurdistan Region didn’t listen to the calls for not holding the referendum and we will not hold discussions on its result,” Abadi said.

Flights have been landing and taking off from both Erbil and Sulaimani airports, according to their respective websites.

Kurdistan Votes to Leave Iraq:
What Happens Next?

Residents of Iraqi Kurdistan voted Monday in a controversial referendum on whether to declare independence from Iraq, with preliminary results showing almost 92% in favor of separation. We’re still waiting for (hopefully) detailed official results so we can map out how different districts voted. But in the meantime, let’s answer some of the big questions:

Will Kurdistan become independent now?

The Kurdistan region’s government considers this vote official and “binding”, in contrast to an informal 2005 referendum, even though the Iraqi federal government in Baghdad considers it completely illegal. But it was never intended to trigger an automatic declaration of independence. Instead, Kurdistan leader Masoud Barzani has promised to use a “YES” vote as leverage to negotiate independence with Iraqi government. So far, no date has been set for Kurdistan’s declaration of independence, and it could still be years away.

What if Iraq never agrees to let Kurdistan be independent?

When asked in an interview this June, Barzani said “It’s too early to say that”. But he did rule out violent means, or any end to cooperation in fighting the so-called “Islamic State (IS; formerly ISIS/ISIL). If Kurdistan’s government eventually feels it’s reached the end of the road in negotiations with the Baghdad, it could choose to declare independence unilaterally – that is, without anyone else’s approval. But the international community rarely rewards that kind of independence declaration, and at best Kurdistan would become the next Kosovo, recognized by half the world but rejected by the other, and blocked from membership in major organizations like the UN.

Which countries would recognize Kurdistan’s independence?

If Kurdistan successfully reaches an agreement with Baghdad before declaring independence, like South Sudan did in 2011, it will probably be recognized by almost all the world’s countries. But if it declares independence unilaterally, its prospects aren’t so good. The Iraqi government and neighboring countries Iran, Turkey, and Syria all strongly opposed Kurdistan even having this referendum, and would be even more livid at an outright declaration of independence. Major world powers have been more lukewarm: The US and Germany opposed the timing of the referendum, but might be sympathetic to eventual independence, while Russia and France have declined to take sides at all. There is one country that gave its full support to the referendum, and would be most likely to recognize an independent Kurdistan: Israel. As a country that also sees itself as the best hope for protecting a persecuted ethnic group, Israel has a lot in common with Kurdistan. Because of that, Israeli leaders would be happy to have an ally in the region who’s not friendly with Iran and doesn’t share brotherly relations with the Arab Middle Eastern countries (Kurdistan’s people are mostly Muslim, but not Arab).

But isn’t Kurdistan a great candidate for independence?

Iraqi Kurdistan is often held up as an example of an aspiring country that would actually be more stable and democratic than the existing countries in the Middle East. And that may be true: Iraqi Kurdistan has been a lot more stable lately than Iraq, Syria, or Yemen, and it’s probably more democratic than most of the countries surrounding it. But it’s not that simple: the Kurdistan Regional Government has its fair share of problems too, dominated by one political party built around a family dynasty, led by a president whose term expired two years ago, and often accused of corruption. Meanwhile, many outside observers worry that Kurdish independence would destabilize the region, leading to violence as neighboring countries oppose the change and Kurdish minorities in those countries become emboldened. On the other hand, many feel that the Kurds, long persecuted by other countries’ governments, deserve a country of their own regardless of
the risks. And scary predictions about the future often don’t come to pass. PolGeoNow neither supports nor opposes Kurdistan’s independence. As always, we’re just here to report what happens.

Still, the people of Kurdistan really do want independence, right?

Though 92% is surprisingly high (a poll last month found 25% planning to vote “NO”), it seems that most Kurds in Iraq do want an independent country. Although the second-largest party in Kurdistan’s parliament opposed the timing of the referendum, it supports independence in principle and decided not to the boycott the vote.

Of course, not everyone in Kurdistan is a Kurd. The region is also home to many Turkmen, Arab, and Assyrian people (these are language-based cultural groupings; in terms of religion, Kurds, Arabs, and Turkmens are all mostly Sunni Muslims, with some Shiites and local minority religious groups, while Assyrians are mostly Christians). Many Arabs, who form the majority in Iraq as a whole, opposed the vote, especially in disputed territories like Kirkuk. But others supported it, having more faith in the Kurdistan government than Iraq’s. Turkmens and Assyrians were similarly split, with minority political parties representing them coming down on both sides of the debate.
