Erbil-Baghdad Agreement Imminent


ERBIL — The Kurdistan Region and Iraqi governments are close to reach an agreement over their disputes in the nearest future, said a source close to Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi.

The high-level delegations from Erbil and Baghdad are due to resolve the differences over Kurdistan Region’s airports, customs and border lines, the source told Shafaq News.

He further revealed that the Kurdistan Regional Government has already agreed with most of the points in the political deal, the rest would remain under discussion.

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said earlier the day that Erbil and Sulaymaniyah airports would soon be re-opened after over four months since Baghdad imposed a flight ban on the Kurdish region.
