''Two oil giants from America have now followed Turkey by bypassing the central government of Iraq by signing deals with the Kurdistan regional government. Of course, the agreements could be purely economic rather than aimed at the central government of Iraq. However, it is clear that the government of Iraq is displeased with meddling in Syria and these contracts could be linked to containing the power of Baghdad.
The Kurds are “in limbo” given the size of the Kurdish population throughout parts of the Middle East. Historically, they have suffered at the hands of several governments and this most notably applies to Iraq under Saddam Hussein and under several Turkish governments. Their plight is known in other countries like Iran therefore the “Kurdish Question” is very real.''
