Gulf Keystone Petroleum Share Discussion Threads

Who stands to gain from today's Federal Court ruling?

The PUK benefits in that they desired the Iraqi election commission to supervise the regional election and utilize Iraqi voter registration, which shows Sulaimani's population as higher than KRG's count, and Erbil's and Duhok's as lower.

Conversely, the KDP also accrues advantages as the election will be held under the previous law. Under this law, all of Kurdistan is considered a single constituency, and the allocation of seats for minority quotas remains unchanged.

Since the 2017 independence referendum, Iraqi authorities have been methodically eroding the Kurdistan Region's autonomy. Recently, they succeeded in wresting control of the oil from the KRG, and today, they've seized the election authority from the regional election commission.

It’s ok, I understand you don’t want to discuss the Supreme courts judgement today, especially after saying yesterday how Baghdad deems the court legal

"attacking Sniff instead of discussing the news articles. Ignore his opinion, as I do, but don’t disregard the news articles just because he was the one who posted them."

Most of the news in those articles has already been discussed to death.

If there's some news concerning GKP or the oil industry or the pipeline that hasn't already been discussed then start a discussion and we'll look at it and if it's relevant then I'm sure that somebody will get back to you.

Again Habsham, attacking Sniff instead of discussing the news articles.

Ignore his opinion, as I do, but don’t disregard the news articles just because he was the one who posted them.

Like I said, if there was anything positive to post, I’m sure he would be the first to post it.

Re. sniff, make of this what you will.

As usual didn't work over the weekend.

Clocked on with his first post at 1129am this morning.

Clocked off 20 posts later at 1640pm for the commute home from the office.

We have a group of newshounds on this board such as beernut and punter who over the years have worked tirelessly to bring interesting articles to our attention.”

I haven’t seen them post anything recently. Just because the articles sniff has posted don’t make easy reading for you doesn’t mean you need to shoot the messenger. I’m sure sniff would post up positive news articles if there was any!

Attacking sniff instead of discussing the articles he posts just shows you have an agenda against him

Well Habsham, to be fair to sniff he has posted a lot of interesting articles about what’s happening in Kurdistan and Iraq at the moment.

The KRG are certainly being pushed into a corner aren’t they

On relations with Baghdad, the prime minister stressed that recent alterations and amendments made to Iraq's federal budget bill are "unconstitutional", adding that they also violate KRG agreements with the federal government of Iraq and do not serve the interests of the people of Kurdistan.

He called for the agreement his cabinet had previously reached with Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani to be implemented, and emphasized that Erbil will not back down on protecting the constitutional rights of the people of Kurdistan.

"We are prepared for dialogue in order to reach an agreement that serves the interests of all parties. However, we will in no way make concessions on our peoples' rights, which are enshrined in the constitution," the prime minister detailed.

He also said that discussions on this issue are ongoing, and hoped to reach an agreement with Baghdad on details of the federal budget bill as quickly as possible in order for Erbil and Baghdad to deliver on their respective cabinet's development agendas.

Kurdistan Watch
@KurdistanWatch

Analysis: Today's landmark verdict establishes a new precedent, endowing the Federal Court with enhanced authority over Kurdistan's domestic matters. The Kurdistan Region no longer has free rein over decisions concerning its internal affairs, which some previously viewed as dubious.

This ruling also invalidates the KDP's recent reactivation of the Kurdistan election commission in the Kurdistan parliament. As a result, it is probable that the Iraqi election commission will assume responsibility for overseeing Kurdistan's elections.

Looks like the KRG are losing its grip big time

Iraqi top court rules self-extension of Kurdistan parliament ‘unconstitutional’

“all laws enacted by the parliament during that period are null and void”

[theythinkitsallover] 30/5/2023 15:52

“In relation to Article (14), paragraph (10) about oil extraction from Kirkuk and Nineveh provinces, the KDP urged for the removal of the clause prohibiting oil extraction from these areas, currently under KRG control, particularly the Khormala and Kormor fields.”

Let’s hope this article is removed !
