Iraq still has Syria in its oil pipeline | The National

Iraq still has Syria in its oil pipeline | The National:

"Iraq remains hopeful of building a pipeline through Syria as it seeks to diversify markets for its rising oil output.

A pipeline for Iraqi oil through Syria, should that country stabilise, would help to meet energy demand and offer needed transit revenues, said Iraq’s chief oil official Hussain Al Shahristani, the deputy prime minister for energy affairs.

“We need to connect to our neighbours,” he said in Dubai. “The situation in Syria is not encouraging. Our relationship with Turkey this year has not been as it should be.”"
