SULAIMANI (ESTA) — The Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) leadership member on Tuesday criticized the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) over Ibrahim Khalil border crossing “vague” revenue.
A member of the PUK leadership council, Aras Mohammed said, “The revenue that the Ibrahim Khalil border crossing generates has nothing less than what has been generated from the oil revenue,” he told the PUK official media.
“The revenue of the Ibrahim Khalil border crossing remained vague in every single cabinet of the KGR,” he said, adding that “The revenue that Ibrahim Khalil generates does not return to the government’s treasury,” according to Mohammed’s words.
He further called on the KRG prime minister to carry out reform from the Ibrahim Khalil which is the biggest border crossing between Iraq, Turkey, and Syria, he said.
Located in the northwest of the Kurdistan Region in Duhok’s Zakho, the Ibrahim Khalil border crossing is a key border crossing across Iraq, tying neighboring Turkey and Syria with the Kurdistan Region.
