POLITICS - Turkey avoids getting involved with dispute between Iraqi Kurds and Baghdad on oil deal:
"Ankara avoids interfering with an ongoing dispute between the central government of Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) over the latter’s plans to export oil abroad via Turkey.
Turkey, instead, prefers to see the outcome of ongoing talks between parties with an “I do not want to influence the process” attitude, a Turkish official told Hürriyet Daily News.
The issue came up at a meeting between Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu and his Iraqi counterpart Hoshyar Zebari on Jan. 17. Minister Davutoğlu expressed Turkey’s will for an immediate solution to the dispute.
The Turkish government has been saying it sides with a peaceful solution to be reached with Baghdad and Arbil, asserting it has no interest in interfering with the Iraqi governments’ business."
