Iraqi and Turkish officials have begun discussions to reinstate oil exports through the Iraq-Turkey Pipeline, which connects northern Iraq to the Turkish port of Ceyhan. The pipeline has been halted for an unspecified period, impacting both nations’ economies. Iraqi Oil Minister Hayan Abdulghani Al-Zaidi met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to address the issue and explore potential solutions for resuming shipments. Reviving the pipeline is crucial for Iraq to regain a significant revenue stream and for Turkey to maintain its role as a key energy transit hub. Details regarding the cause of the initial halt and the timeline for resumption remain unclear. The move signals a potential thaw in relations and a renewed focus on economic cooperation between Baghdad and Ankara. Further negotiations are expected to finalize the details of the pipeline’s reopening.
