Economist calls on Iraq to exploit the crisis, "Qatar" for this reason ..
An economic expert on Saturday called on the Iraqi government to exploit the Gulf-Qatar crisis and convince the latter to pass its future gas pipeline through Iraqi territory instead of Saudi Arabia.

"Qatar is seeking to extend its gas pipeline, which it calls the (northern Qatar) through Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria and Turkey to Europe," said Hussein Hneil, an economist.

He added that "Saudi Arabia wants to prevent Iran from delivering its gas pipeline (North Pars) to Europe through Iraq and Syria under the rule of Assad in an attempt to topple him, and wants to be equipped Europe through the gas line, which starts from Qatar through Saudi territory and Jordan Then Syria after the overthrow of Bashar and Turkey. "

"The recent differences between the Gulf countries and Qatar may spoil the plans of Saudi Arabia and its allies, even temporarily, while Iran is trying to take the initiative and invest the situation in its favor," he said, calling on the Iraqi government to "persuade Qatar to pass the gas pipeline from Europe to Europe, .

He explained that "this subject needs economic and technical minds to show how to overcome some of the technical contracts such as the extension of the pipeline under the waters of the Gulf along the length of 300 km and a short section in the Kuwaiti territory, (technically feasible and may be less than the cost of extension in the desert and Saudi Arabia) Iraq and Syria, "he said, adding that" this is strongly favored by Europe because it reduces transit costs and guarantees Europe important sources (Iran and Qatar), as it will ensure the arrival of gas without threat, in addition to an important third source is the Russian gas pipeline. "

He stressed that "Iraq can invest what is happening in the region in his favor economically after persuading Qatar to adjust the path of the pipeline to pass in the Iraqi territory is the cheapest and best ways."
