Iraq has formally requested that Turkey renew the agreement governing the Kirkuk-Ceyhan oil pipeline. The proposed extension would last for at least one year. This temporary measure is intended to provide a window for both nations to negotiate a new, long-term deal. The pipeline serves as a critical artery for transporting Iraqi oil to international markets. By securing this extension, Baghdad aims to maintain steady oil exports while finalizing legal terms. The request highlights the ongoing diplomatic efforts to stabilize energy infrastructure between the two neighbors. Both parties are now expected to engage in discussions regarding the future of the agreement.
