The Iraqi Oil Minister, Hussain al-Shahristani, has fired back from neighboring Jordan toward the Kurdistan Regional Government and other parts of the world where the International Oil Companies, who hold contracts with the Kurds, are based.
Al-Shahristani eventually broke his silence and put the dots on the letters, as the Arabic language puts it, when said: "Those who signed the contracts with these companies are responsible to pay back and compensate them."
"The company won't receive from the oil ministry any dollar or a barrel of oil," al-Shahristani told Dow Jones Newswires in an interview late Thursday night.
On Friday afternoon, the usually quiet al-Shahristani became more aggressive, challenging the KRG's Natural Resources Minister, Ashti Hawrami if he can get the companies' share from the produced oil.
‘If [the Kurdish oil minister] can get a dollar out of the [Iraqi finance] ministry, let him call me,’ he told the Financial in a video interview.
Now your turn comes Mr. Hawarmi, but try to bring something new not only mentioning the same "constitutional rights," something practical on how these companies will be paid.
And let's see to where this will take us....

Today we see it AGAIN!!
"Baghdad rejects KRG gas deals - Upstreamonline"
And AGAIN it is the one person in the Iraq Oil Ministery who tries to stop good things for the whole Iraq and the Iraqi people.
There is no doubt why 140 representatives of the Parlament want to questioning him for hiss bad work.
He does NOT do what is best for Iraq!
Here's my take on the KRG-Baghdad oil deal.
http://musingsoniraq.blogspot.com/2009/05/breakthrough-on-oil-deal-between.html
Right now it's going nowhere because Baghdad won't pay the oil companies and the Kurds probably don't have the cash to cover it either. It appears to be another show between the two sides, similar to what happened in the winter of 08 over the same oil fields.
The first question many people have about links london one way links is why are they so important.If you links of london compared two websites that had exactly the links jewellery same content but one of them had one hundred one way links versus none on the other site links of london uk you would see that the site with one way links had a much better cheap links of london ranking with each search engine. links of london bracelet The primary reason for this is there is no reason for one site links of london charms to link to another without a reciprocating link other than that links of london watches site determines that the website is an authority on it's given niche links of london rings A one way link is when a website links to another site without links of london necklaces asking for a reciprocal link back.
