“Exporting oil from the Kurdistan region to Turkey is illegal.”
Dabbagh added that Turkey was contributing to the “smuggling of Iraqi oil.”
“This matter will affect relations between the two countries, especially economic relations, which will be damaged,” he said.
On July 8, Seerwan Abubaqr, an adviser to the Kurdistan’s natural resources ministry, said the autonomous region “started exporting limited quantities of crude oil to Turkey a few days ago.”
“We will continue exports of crude oil until the central government provides the region with oil products,” Abubaqr said.
The Iraqi government spokesman also stated on Sunday, “This oil and gas is the property of all Iraqis and it must be exported by, and its revenues go to, the federal government, which represents all Iraqis.”
The Iraqi government and the Kurdish region have been engaged in a dispute over oil exports in the past few months.
