Iraqi Kurdistan is planning to conclude new contracts with Rosneft

The leadership of Iraqi Kurdistan is discussing the possibility of signing new contracts with the company "Rosneft", reports RIA News statement by the Prime Minister of autonomy Nechirvan Barzani.

Head of Rosneft Igor Sechin

We already have a contract with Rosneft; we will continue our economic cooperation with the company. And we are pleased that Russian companies are actively working in Iraqi Kurdistan. We are discussing new contracts, but so far there is no agreement. Iraqi Kurdistan is open to Russian investment,

said Barzani on the margins of the Munich Security Conference.

In February last year, the parties entered into an agreement on cooperation in the oil and gas sector and a contract for the purchase and sale of oil from 2017 to 2019 a year. In October, Rosneft and Iraqi Kurdistan announced the launch of a project to operate an oil pipeline, in which a Russian company could leave 60 percent.

Recall that in September a referendum was held in Iraqi Kurdistan, in which more than 90% of voters voted for the independence of the region. Baghdad declared it illegitimate, and the expansion of Erbil’s cooperation with foreign oil companies provoked sharp criticism from the Iraqi authorities. They called all the transactions concluded bypassing the capital illegal.

"Gas station" in northern Iraq

The Iraqi Oil Ministry asked Rosneft to clarify its position on contracts with Iraqi Kurdistan. In turn, the head of the company, Igor Sechin, said that Rosneft extracts raw materials in Iraqi Kurdistan and complies with local legislation.

In January, Iraqi Cabinet Minister Mahdi al-Alak told the agency that Baghdad would not pursue Rosneft for its deals with Kurdish autonomy, but it would also not abide by the company's contracts with Erbil.

Rosneft walks along the razor's edge - Iraqi authorities can seize assets from them! Kurdistan is essentially an illegal education, and our businesses have played and will end for them, and, accordingly, for our country, everything is deplorable! Nefig was there to climb while they are biting each other.

Kurds go under the amerzas, which means it may be the message of Amerz!?! So these contracts do not promise us anything good ...

In the fall, when the Iraqi authorities took Mosul, Rosneft flew by with a few lard of American rubles already invested. Iraqis took their oil fields, the Kurds took money from Rosneft - washed their hands. It was about writing off the invested as a loss.
For some reason, this topic is not addressed at all in this article.
Merines do not need to impose sanctions against us, just a couple more of such super-investments and the company will go bankrupt.

Rosneft is a state-owned company! So a large proportion of the government of this corporation is owned by the Russian government ...

Kurdistan is now called "Israel of the 21 Century"!
In fact, Kurdistan is following the path chosen by Israel to achieve its own state in the 1940's.

On the verge of declaring its independence, Israel led a complex diplomatic game in the world on all fronts, successfully using the conflict between the West and the USSR. And until this happened, Israel deftly lobbied for its interests in both camps - NATO countries and the Soviet bloc.

The Kurds are now doing the same, taking advantage of the contradictions between the countries participating in the armed conflicts in the BV.
In this regard, frankly WESTERN Kurds are also not “white” or “fluffy” at all! And who will whom - Russia or Kurdistan - in the end, "have" in terms of protecting their national interests in the BV, time will tell!

Most likely, the Kurds will “have” Russia! Since for the Kurds this is a historic chance in the matter of their independent national survival in the territories of their compact residence.

[voyaka uh]

Thank you for supporting the independence of Kurdistan! Rosneft must protect its interests by all means. C-300 stationed in Kurdistan will cool the ardor of the unbridled Iraqi military. Hands off the young Kurdish republic that defeated ISIS and is fighting for its freedom in the ring of Shiite aggressors.

Yes, Alexey! From your manipulative thinking in favor of Israel, you can just go crazy!

According to Western plans, Kurdistan should be created in the territories of Syria, Iraq, Turkey and Iran. Moreover, Kurdistan will be obliged to the United States with all its education, and therefore it will be a strong lever of influence over the entire region to help the United States and Israel.
Moreover, the Kurdish state will by definition be not only anti-Arab, but also anti-Turkish and anti-Iranian. In addition, having arisen at present on the ashes of Iraq and Syria, on the borders of Shiite Iran and Sunni Turkey, to which Kurdistan will necessarily make territorial claims in alliance with Israel and the USA, it will plunge the region for a long time into a new nightmare of wars, terror, instability .
Those. from the point of view of regional logic, Kurdistan could be compared not so much with the Balkan Kosovo as with Israel in the first period of its existence.
It should be borne in mind that the Kurds themselves are by no means united. And this means that for the Kurds themselves a scenario has been prepared for incessant internal strife, a struggle for power and resources, periodic outbreaks of civil war. All this has already happened and is taking place in Palestine, Lebanon during the civil wars.
Like today's Ukraine born on the Maidan, tomorrow's Kurdistan born in the war will become the strongest source of instability and conflicts on the borders of several civilizations: Arab, Turkish, Iranian and at the same time in the heart of the Islamic world and the BV region, as it is seen and understood in the USA.

It is Israel and the United States that will benefit from all this in BV.

The conversation that a man was starred and imagines himself a strategist. "Partners" - stupidly "breed rabbits"
The interest of Russia, in my opinion, is not here. There are oil "floodlights" on the territory of the official Iraqi government, and the money is tucked into the pocket of the Kurdish quasi-formation. How Sechin is trying to comply with Russia's interests there, I also do not understand.
The question is too serious to be put "at random" ...

the Kurds who took money from Rosneft washed their hands. It was about writing off the invested as a loss.

They took 1 billion from Rosneft. and spent on paying off debt to the emirate Dana Gas. In total, the contract is valued at 3 lard. This money Rosneft gave Kurdistan as an advance. The amount of contracts between Iraqi Kurdistan and Rosneft exceeds $ 3 billion.

Rosneft and Iraqi Kurdistan signed a cooperation agreement in February 2017. In particular, the parties agreed to buy and sell oil from 2017 to 2019. In September, they also held negotiations on the possibility of Rosneft's participation in the construction of a gas pipeline in Kurdistan. The agreement may be signed before the end of the year.

That's where the field of activity for PMCs is! Rosneft is quite capable of maintaining a similar structure. There was infa that Sechin is actively lobbying for the PMC law in the government and the State Duma. Iraqis will immediately become more accommodating

[Svarog]

Yes, the company will go bankrupt, but its leader Sechin will not go bankrupt, for some reason I’m sure of this ..

[Vadim237]

In a parallel universe, it will go bankrupt, with assets of 10 trillion rubles, as well as a net profit of 500 billion - every year.

Let Rosneft not be particularly deceived. The information is being circulated that the next in line with the Turks is the Kandil region in Iraqi Kurdistan.

The most interesting thing is that it’s from the state that such deals are made by super managers. But in case of failure, this remains the problem of the state itself.

[faradien]

Kurds run the risk of outwitting themselves. They want to suck like an affectionate calf of two queens. But soon they will run into Amer’s “fidelity to agreements”, and they can always rely on ours, well, or almost always. Kurds will still seek independence and the autonomy of the territory is inevitable. So these are contracts for the future. Short-term and even medium-term there will not be many benefits to us. But in the long run, as well as in order not to lose influence on the Kurds, contracts are an important step. Amer on the Middle East will gradually become not sweet and their influence will fall.

[flicker]

Iraqi authorities can seize assets from them!

They can, but they won’t. I think this is the case when it is in the interests of both the Kurds and the interests of the Iraqi authorities.

[siberalt]

Sechin no matter who the grandmother do. They don't smell. With whom is he going to agree there when the subject of the contract does not legally exist?

[afrikanez]

Kurdistan as such is not, but he has an agreement with Russia. This is how to understand that? Sechin doesn’t care who they rob, what their own, what strangers ....

[ancestors from Don]

Rosneft chose not a reliable ally, Iran, Iraq and Turkey will be categorically against some solid minuses, is it worth it to spoil relations with current fellow travelers for the sake of ghostly profits, especially since Iraqi Kurdistan dreams of growing in size due to the territory of Syria, Iran, Turkey.

[bane's jacket]

Rosneft (read - Russia) has already got at least $ 1 billion with this “contract” in Kirkuk. A lot of free money?

[rruvim]

But Sechin will not "put" a friend of Primakov Barzani, like Ulyukaev? Or, after an unsuccessful attempt by Wagner PMC to squeeze the Kursk oil refinery down the drain?

[Mih1974]

Oh, I suspect that if Sevin turn to Shoigu "for help", then no mattresses will help the Kurds

[Simon]

Quote: Logall

I agree! But there is a way out in my opinion. It is necessary to unite the Syrians and Iraqis, and accordingly the Kurds of both states, into some kind of Arab alliance. I think that it would be much better for them to live, but it is unlikely that they will succeed, the Americans will "put sticks in the wheels."

[rruvim]

Pancake! All this has already been completed. Syria and Egypt were already united in a union, even into a single State, and the Iraqis there were "caught up." This "phenomenon" was called - UAR (United Arab Republic). Alas, everything ended in failure. Jews indicated to each participant "their place" ...

[Fedorov]

I didn’t understand. Rosneft - whose company? It’s kind of like a state, but there is Qatar, Switzerland ... and the demon knows who. At least the board of directors voiced.
It would have been better if they had beaten off hundreds of kindergartens, and there were about a dozen orphanages with a lifelong maintenance of Rosneft, and not climb into Iraq.
All of them are not enough ... Or is their Trumpet really calling? beckoning ...

[bald]

That's right - I would not say that it is state-owned.

[rruvim]

Who are the minority shareholders? - The secret behind the "seven" seals. But judging by the fact that they hired the entire Wagner PMC Corps in the spin cycle at the Kurds of the Konoko refinery, the money there is not small.

[bald]

What a cunning figovina it turns out. There is a war, the warring parties are not two or three. Rosneft, by its actions, will make enemies of Russia, or grandmothers have overshadowed their eyes.

[Mih1974]

Judging by the distant "groans under the carpet," Sechin just appears as "the most intelligent man" while the locals share something here and there, he concludes agreements with all at all. In general, if you read information from Iraq “from a certain angle”, then it turns out that you are a Russian goof, but we will not dispute, nor will we recognize that our enemies will not sell them to you. Translating into Russian - if someone grabbed something and sold Sechin, then others would take a sigh and regret that it was not they who sold it to Sechin.

[bald]

Whatever it was, sideways did not work out for Russia, especially in the region. Rosneft is an insatiable shark - it eats everything and she does not care about our interests and problems.

[SPACE]

Judging by some comments, they are clearly written by oil magnates or, at least, owners of oil wells aah, there’s still a couple of upbeat finance experts and one shell-shocked media full-range military analyst What talents! The country must know its patriots Sechin just sobbing

[rruvim]

And for what reason are you talented? If not buried?

[friend of animals]

He thinks about Russia.

[rruvim]

Sechin always thinks about Russia when next to the Brigadier. He just leaves, immediately recalls the fate of Ulyukaev ... And you can’t hide abroad in the city of London. Under sanction. I think the foreman personally entered his last name: "Donald, and put Igor in my list. That would not have escaped ..."

What is interesting for large companies ... This is because investing money in dubious projects can be made from them by getting along with a couple of their employees ... Which at first glance seem to solve nothing ... Some kind of gray coordinators ... And this is their personal interest ... And the interests of the company ... And even more so, the state does not interest them at all ...

[sib.ataman]

Yes, normal Comrade Sechin acts! So it is necessary, pushing all shoulders back, once lost positions are returned. And the Iraqi government is not going anywhere, everyone recognizes. What do you propose, standing in line in anticipation when Wsatowski, etc., the patrons of present-day Iraq will give their consent !? No one asked us when they threw out from there in the early 2000s! And we don’t need to ask anyone, especially when such a serious undercover fuss was played out.

[vlad007]

Iraqi Kurdistan is the answer to the States for Syrian Kurdistan. In Syria, the Kurds, with the support of the States, autonomize the eastern coast of the Euphrates (Raqqa and around it), and in Iraq, the Kurds, with the support of the Russian Federation, autonomous northern Iraq.
