Sell oil and share the revenues. Again, is it going to last or is it just another shortlived political deal . My worries are, my hope is, of course, that it will be a step in the right direction and the right direction being a National Hydrocarbon law that has at least the quad political backing on both sides, but i also have worries. Past legacy is not very promising and, of course, we also have all of these pending issues such as land, such as revenue sharing, the grievances of boss are, the bosra, that the same that is echoed, why should the kurdish share oil with the government. These are challenges that the hydrocarbon deal is being faced with. I think kurdish oil policy when t initially started in 2004 2005, some say how oil is being managed.

Very quick comment. I agree the u. N. Might be the most credible party. But its about having a party with well intentions we need a party that is able to enfold them, to oblige them. Agree first because i hope the egyptians will work on their own National Conciliation. I dont think they have that force. Credibility is very much derived from the power you have. And on religious institution, one sentence comment. The religious institutions and suss , i mean, actually tanie being the figure, theyre losing power to politics since 2003 because of the accumulation of wealth and power in the hands of politicians and political parties, which enables them to coop the religious institutions and figures. But he is in a whole different category. Right. Thats why i started with that. My comment would be it ha

From my father i inherited my confidence my resilience, my passion, and my audacity, looking back although it was never explained to me in this way, he taught me the spirit of which is greek idea of honor and doing the right thing, even when ones own interests or even ones own life is in peril. Growing up while i never fought anything but australian there were two stories about the Second World War and greece that i always kept close to my heart. The first was in 1940 when Benito Mussolini italys Prime Minister asked the greek Prime Minister for free passage through greece and on the spot at 3 00 in the morning without hesitation, without consultation he said oy he said no.
