Iraq's new oil deal is a big mistake

Iraqi Kurdish oil stopped flowing through Turkish pipelines last month after international arbitrators ruled that Turkey violated a 1973 treaty by exporting Kurdish oil without first securing Baghdad’s permission. The judges awarded Baghdad $1.5 billion-plus interest, just for the period between 2014 and 2018. The court will announce subsequent awards in the coming days.
