KRG Responds to Maliki's Statements on NRT TV
Following yesterday's Statements of Nouri Al-Maliki, Iraqi Prime Minister in an interview with NRT TV, KRG's spokesman, Safin Dzayee, announces that Maliki's statements and information on KRG are inaccurate and his attention is for misleading the public opinion.



The announcement reveals that Maliki mentioned an oil question in the interview which is still a subject of the Erbil-Baghdad negotiations, and Maliki's statements are not what the committees and Hussain al-Shahristani is agreed on.

"Shahristani, in the meetings, was with idea of putting KRG's oil revenue in a sub-account in a special bank of DFI in the name of KRG," mentions in the announcement.

On the KRG's stance on the oil export issue in Baghdad, Safin Dzayee mentions that in all the negotiations the KRG insisted on that the region should export its oil on a constitutional base and if the revenue was the same with region's share then it should be put in the same bank which saves the Iraqi oil revenue. Then, the bank will directly transfer the money to the central bank of Kurdistan Region.

On Maliki's intention in his statements, Dzayee says that the statements are part of the wrong way of his dealing with politics and the situations to mislead the people and stating wrong numbers and data if not the KRG does not need to have hidden oil pipeline as Maliki says, while KRG can have it officially.

"Maliki in the interview compared Kurdistan region with a province, Basra," Dzayee talking on that Maliki's is not going back to the constitution he vowed for.

Dzayee concluded the announcement by saying that Maliki has named his political list for the election " State of Law" but his actions are all against the laws and constitutional bases as well as neglecting other political entities and destroying the principles of democracy, federalism, and sharing that the new Iraq were build on.
