Head of the Kurdistan Regional Government d. Barham Saleh, said that “Iraqi constitution allows for the government of the Territory to take advantage of the fields and oil wells discovered newly From this point we started to work on the development of oil infrastructure in the region, and on this basis let international companies to help us in the exploitation of this wealth and extracted. Yes, there are differences between us and the federal government, and specifically with the Iraqi Oil Ministry, but recently we came up with Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki to agree on a draft law of oil and gas will be submitted before the end of this year to the Iraqi parliament for approval, and there is an important fact must be alert to it, that we produce oil is currently and we export via pipelines of Iraq, and proceeds back to the Iraqi treasury and distributed to all Iraqis, so we need a law that defines the entire process, and ultimately the time management of oil wealth by the central authority has ended, do not return anymore to oil policy, the central “.
And on the perceptions of the situation in Iraq after the withdrawal phase the U.S., Saleh said radio “NPR” U.S.: “We are concerned about this situation, Valdvaat air and ground to Iraqi forces are still weak and below the level, a week ago I was in Baghdad and talked to my colleagues in the federal government to this subject , and there was much debate on the issue of survival or the departure of U.S. troops. We in Kurdistan, we see the need to keep part of those forces to support us in overcoming our problems of security, but our Iraqi brothers on the other side were thinking differently, and therefore the Iraqi and U.S. governments have reached to the conclusion respect the provisions of the security agreement signed in 2008, and ending U.S. military presence in Iraq, and in any case I believe that Iraq still needs the cooperation of America in this area, and on the Iraqi political leadership to assume their responsibilities and seek to fill the vacuum it will have an American military withdrawal. “

Asked if he was worried about the appearance of the features of Saddam sectarian or ethnic lines in Iraq after U.S. withdrawal, said the President of the Kurdistan Regional Government, “Of course I’m concerned, life in Iraq and the Middle East in general make you a permanent concern. After all, the current climate in Iraq is in itself a challenge for political leaders, and we are ready for him, but I hope to feel all the other Iraqi political forces to the extent of the need of unity and cooperation to meet the future challenges ahead. “
