Necmettin cream: the Kurdistan region is supervised directly to 60% on the Kirkuk oil since 2014 by Carr company, where he utilized the region through the export of this oil, We have received the sums of petrodollars, but they have been stalled since the fourth month.

Roudao: what are the best ways to Kirkuk oil export , through Iraq or the Kurdistan region? Necmettin cream: that all the roads are in the best interest of Kirkuk if it has been extracting oil and sell it and which way it was, but Baghdad will not post it, so it was unable to export Kirkuk since 2014, after terrorists blew up the Kirkuk line in Tikrit, and since the advent of Daash, only the province of Kurdistan to export oil did not remain in front of us. Roudao: what is the public opinion in Kirkuk? Do you want to deal more with the Kurdistan region or with Baghdad? Necmettin cream: We have a lot of administrative issues with Baghdad. Kirkuk residents want good relations with Baghdad.

Necmettin cream: the federal government is still in Baghdad are working on resolutions of the dissolved Revolutionary command Council, it has decided to eight ministries in Baghdad to Kirkuk transfer of power, but the Iraqi Council of Ministers did not agree on the pretext that the provincial elections have yet to be held in the province of Kirkuk. Even employment opportunities, especially for the Kurds are almost non - existent, we have a law providing for those who do not graded his name in the 1957 census may not be employed in Kirkuk, but in 2013 were employed nearly 1,000 teachers were not in them is not of Kurdish nationalism and Turkmen, and when you stop approval these commands employment and punish the call. Roudao: you comment on what your hopes in this project? The people of Kirkuk? Or the Kurdish presidency? Or political parties? Necmettin cream: Honestly, we are counting on the people of Kirkuk, and if they do not vote, you can not state parties or groups to achieve this, and let 's let's be realistic, we have over 12 years and no material carried 140 so far, have been paying too much money to return some non - residents of Kirkuk , but they're still here, and moreover did not give up their allocated for the Kurds and Turkmen territory.

Roudao: Why do not focus regardless of this effort on the annexation of Kirkuk to the Kurdistan region if you are sure that the people of Kirkuk will stand with you?
