Iraq oil min says Turkey rejects KRG export pipelines-state media

BAGHDAD, Feb 25 (Reuters) - Turkey has told Iraq it will reject any extension of oil and gas pipelines from Kurdistan without the approval of the Baghdad government, Iraq's oil minister Abdul Kareem Luaibi was quoted saying by the state media network on Monday. "Turkey has officially informed Iraq it rejects extending oil and gas export pipelines from the Kurdistan region to pass through Turkey without approval from federal government," the network quoted the minister as saying. Iraq's Arab-led central government and the Kurdistan regional government (KRG), run by ethnic Kurds, are locked in a long-running dispute over land and oil rights that is fraying the country's uneasy federal union.
