Barzani: Baghdad's position regarding 2013' budget determine our position
This came on the sidelines of a speech at the ceremony to revive the twenty-fifth anniversary of the bombing on Halabja town with chemical weapons.
"Our positions are determined by the position of the general budget,” Barzani said.
He pointed out to the importance of finding a new compromise formula to balance resolving the crisis between the semi-autonomous region and the federal government, saying "determining the budget is directly linked to the all of our problems with Baghdad starting from the salaries of Peshmarga and benefits of the oil companies as well as other issues."
Resolving the crisis between the semi-autonomous region and the federal government depends on ending the V regarding the distribution of the natural resources and the identity of the oil-rich province of Kirkuk.
The dialogue to reach a solution on these issues has stopped after approving the fiscal budget of 2013 in the Iraqi parliament earlier this month with the absence of the Kurds.
teh disagreement was because of the difference between the parties on the region's share, the issue of paying the benefits of the oil companies and the salaries of egional Guard(Peshmerga) .
Barzani said we in Kurdistan Region have a message, which is the dialogue message to address all the crises.
"We have recently made good progress in resolving problems with Baghdad", but "what has happened from passing the general budget had affected significantly the course of these dialogues,” he added.
