Iraq, Kurdish region sign accord to resume oil exports
BAGHDAD — Iraq's federal government and the Kurdistan autonomous region signed an accord Tuesday to allow Kurdish oil exports to resume through Turkey after they were halted 10 days earlier.
The agreement, signed in Baghdad in the presence of Prime Minister Mohamed Shia Al Sudani and Kurdish premier Masrour Barzani, was to be implemented "today", a Kurdish regional government official told AFP.
The deal was described as temporary but signals the end of independent oil exports by northern Iraq's Kurdish regional government and marks a clear limit to its autonomy.
