Turkey and Iraq have reached a one-year agreement to transport at least 750,000 barrels of Iraqi crude oil daily via pipeline to the Turkish Mediterranean port of Ceyhan. The deal, signed on Saturday, allows for the continuation of oil shipments while both nations work towards a more comprehensive, long-term energy accord. This agreement follows recent discussions between Turkish and Iraqi officials, including a visit by Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi to Ankara. The pipeline is a critical component of Iraq’s oil export infrastructure, delivering a significant volume of its crude to global markets. This temporary deal ensures a continued flow of oil, avoiding potential disruptions during the wider negotiations. The agreement signifies ongoing efforts to strengthen energy cooperation between Turkey and Iraq. Further details of the long term energy deal were not immediately available.
