Kurdistan deputy: the government is waiting to know the share of the Kurdistan budget in 2020 in order to send to parliament

Hassan Ali, a PUK MP, said Tuesday (19 November 2019) that negotiations between Baghdad and Erbil will resume next week.

Ali said in an interview with (Baghdad today) that "the lack of agreement between Baghdad and Erbil to approve the draft budget in 2020 because the Council of Ministers is waiting for agreement between the parties on the proportion of the region."

He added, "The dialogues that were postponed due to the demonstrations will be resumed next week for the purpose of allowing the government to send the draft budget to parliament to vote on it as soon as possible so that the government can implement the demands of the demonstrators."

He pointed out that "will be a discussion on the share of the region and the continued distribution of salaries and dialogue on the delivery of Erbil to the oil receivables in return for Baghdad's commitment to implement the financial commitments made."

Negotiations on budget issues, oil deliveries and the participation of people in the disputed areas in the upcoming elections were interrupted after demonstrations broke out in Baghdad and a number of central and southern provinces in early October, which forced negotiations and dialogues between Baghdad and Erbil to stop several times.
