Iraq to resume Kurdish oil exports to Turkey Saturday: statement
Iraq's oil minister said Thursday that crude exports from the autonomous Kurdistan region to Turkey would resume on Saturday, hours after a deal was finalised following years of dispute.The Kurdish regional government had for years earned billions of dollars in revenues exporting oil to Turkey without the Iraqi federal government's approval.Following years of wrangling, a preliminary agreement was reached in early April, granting the Iraqi federal government control over exports with a view to immediately resuming sales.
