]]> By: Do you believe that the KRG has lost political favor with the various nations in the world and within the region? | Near East Center for Strategic Engagement https://necse.net/2015/06/18/turkish-elections-and-the-new-operational-environment-in-the-middle-east/comment-page-1/#comment-232 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 07:15:09 +0000 http://nec-se.webbar312.net/?p=344#comment-232 […] On 18 JUN 15 NEC-SE posted: “Turkish elections and the new operational environment in the Middle East.” In the posting we stated: “The current leadership of the KRG is in such a panic given they lost their ally, (Turkish President), in the region that Mr. Nerchavan Barazani, Prime Minister of Kurdistan made a two day long emergency trip to Sulaymaniyah right after the elections.” His meeting was targeted at persuading the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) interim leader Kosrat Rasul, to see if an alliance can be struck in order to save the Barazani KRG fractured coalition. The said coalition has been under fire given they declared independence while Mosul was being overrun by ISIS last year, sold Iraqi oil to Turkey given a 50 year contract they signed with Turkey without Iraq’s permission, promised oil to Israel that they cannot deliver given they have almost lost their footprint in Nineveh Plains and Kirkuk, and after they were told by the State Department that they need to learn how to administer a region before a region is given to them carte blanche. This does not include the 41% corruption index score and the fact that the KRG has not paid or shorted its civil servants pay over the past 5 months. All of the aforementioned lead to the possible ouster of some notable members of the KRG within a year. http://nec-se.webbar312.net/2015/06/18/turkish-elections-and-the-new-operational-environment-in-the-middle-eas… […]
