IRBIL, Iraq (AP) — A final agreement has been reached to resume oil exports from Iraq’s northern Kurdish region via a pipeline to Turkey, officials announced Tuesday. Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani and Masrour Barzani, prime minister of the semi-autonomous Kurdish region, announced the deal at a press conference in Baghdad. Iraq stopped sending nearly half a million barrels of oil through the pipeline last month after an arbitration process by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) sided with Iraq in a long-standing dispute over the independent export of oil by the Kurdish regional government.
