Kurds open oil pipelines for testing

Iraq has started exporting oil from its semi-autonomous Kurdistan region, after years of deadlock over disputed Kurdish oil contracts.

Asim Jihad, the Iraqi oil ministry spokesman, said Iraq had started shipping crude from Kurdistan’s Tawke field to a Turkish port on the Mediterranean.
