Speaking on the natural resources that resided in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region, Talabani noted that “We are with better management of the natural resources to be the source of fortune for all Iraqi components without differences.”
The Deputy Premier also stressed that the hydrocarbon resources within the Kurdistan Region must first meet the local need and later think to be exported abroad.
