	Kurdistan Regional Government Hydrocarbon Law: A Commentary
		The government of the Kurdistan Democratic Party signed a PSA agreement with Norway’s DNO in 2004 to drill for oil near the border city of Zakho, where profit oil is said to be 40% to the contractor with a front loaded cost recovery.
		The precise nature of the interaction of the federal government and the regions and governorates under Article 112 is not clear and may have been left deliberately ambiguous.
		Regional action in violation of such policies would be unconstitutional as it infringes upon areas committed to the exclusive authority of the federal government.

		Kurdistan is a democracy that's been running since 1992 when we had our first democratic elections...but 1992, that's actually not that long ago when you compare it with democracy in Britain, which has been thriving for quite a few centuries.
		Secondly, the Kurdistan Regional Government is very aware of the fact that the democracy that we have is a fledgling democracy, and we never pretend that it's a perfect democracy.
		Because of that, or as part of that strategy, the Kurdistan Regional Government is trying to develop relationships with organizations in Europe, in the United States, in other countries around the Middle East that have a democracy in place.

	Kurdistan Regional Government (Iraq)
		In its ordinary session today, the Council of Ministers of the Kurdistan Regional Government - KRG discussed a law proposal concerning raising Kurdistan flag over government buildings in the Kurdish region along side the Iraqi flag.
		The Kurdistan flag comprises of three horizontally arranged colours red, white and green with a yellow sun in the centre.
		My understanding of the vexillological implications is that there is a flag adopted by the government [shown above] of the autonomous region and also flags for each of the parties, but not separate flags for the portions of the region that each of the two parties dominate.

		First, the future status of the region as recognized now in the permanent constitution will be jeopardized because the constitution, though approved by a majority of voters in Iraq, will not come into effect before a new government is sworn in and, meanwhile, the constitutional state is not yet fully consolidated.

		In 1946 and the creation of the Republic of Kurdistan at Mahabad, the old "sunny flag" was adopted by its parliament as the official Flag of the Republic.
		The National Flag of Kurdistan consists of a tricolor field and an emblem at the center.
		So, there is proof that the joint KDP-PUK administration in Iraqi Kurdistan indeed has a flag, but it is not clear which tricolour it is. From other sources I am fairly sure it is indeed the one with the long sun rays.

		KURDISTAN, 3/4 2005 — A haven is a ‘place of safety or refuge’ it is a protective term that connotes the concept of a location where people are cared for or looked after; a little like an old people’s home perhaps.
		The Iraqi Kurds, who consider their nation to be Kurdistan and not Iraq, have been a thorn in Saddam’s side for years and since 1979, there is evidence that he has used every weapon, including dislocation, starvation and poison gas against them.
		As far as Kurdistan and the Kurdish Naqshbandis are concerned, almost all the studies have tended to focus too much on Mawlana Khalid Sharazuri (1193/1779-1242/1827), the eponym and founder of the Khalidiyya suborder, and the early years in the development of Khalidiyya.

	Kurdistan (Iraq) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Kurdistan Region (Kurdish: حكومه تى هه ريمى كوردستان, Hikûmetî Herêmî Kurdistan, Arabic: اقلیم کردستان) is an autonomous, federally recognized political entity located in northern Iraq.
		The name Kurdistan is a combination of the word "Kurd" derived from the ancient Kingdom of Corduene plus the suffix "stan", together meaning Land of the Kurds.
		Many Kurds wish it to be expanded to include the cities of Mosul and Kirkuk, but this is complicated by the Assyrian, Turkmen and Arab populations of both cities and the opposition of Turkey, which is concerned about the region's potential to break away from Iraq (with possible consequences for its own Kurdish minority).

		She said the KRG understood that it was the UK’s worldwide policy to return failed asylum seekers, but Iraq was a special case since it had yet to recover from the war and, even in Kurdistan, where there is relative stability, resources are stretched and those returned by force would be vulnerable.
		They said the British government has already taken on board some of the KRG’s concerns and is in continuous dialogue with the Kurdistan government on this sensitive issue.
