 Sherwan Dobardani: Erbil and Baghdad have reached an agreement and it must be adhered to.

 A delegation from the federal government arrived in Erbil on Thursday, June 26, 2025, and began its meetings with a delegation from the Kurdistan Regional Government at 5:00 PM, MP Sherwan Dubardani said. 

The two sides reached good results and an agreement on resuming Kurdistan oil exports, he added.

"Erbil and Baghdad have reached an agreement to resume the export of Kurdistan Region's oil, and the agreement must be adhered to," Sherwan Dubardani, a member of the Iraqi parliament representing the Kurdistan Democratic Party, told Kurdistan 24 on Friday, June 27, 2025. He added, "A delegation from the Kurdistan Regional Government will meet with oil companies next week."

Dubardani added, "The Kurdistan Regional Government must abide by the law we voted on in the House of Representatives, and Baghdad must abide by the same law. Companies that signed contracts with the regional government have legal contracts according to the same law."

He pointed out that "there is no excuse for the federal government not to abide by the agreements because the Kurdistan Regional Government is prepared to implement the law enacted by the Council of Representatives, which is to pay 50% of the financial revenues to the federal government."

He explained that Iraqi political parties accuse the Kurdistan Regional Government of non-compliance and use slogans against the KRG because they have not delivered anything for their constituents in their provinces. Especially since parliamentary elections are due to be held soon in Iraq, they are using these slogans as political leverage.   link
