ERBIL, Kurdistan Region—A high-level Kurdish delegation led by Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani arrives in the Iraqi capital Baghdad today for a meeting over suspended budget of the Peshmerga forces and Erbil’s share of the federal health budget, said a Kurdish official.Dr. Tariq Gardi, a Kurdish MP in the Iraqi parliament told Rudaw that the funding the Kurdish delegation is seeking to unfreeze in Baghdad is not part of the bigger budgetary disagreements between Erbil and the central government.Gardi said that the focal point of the meeting between Barzani and his Iraqi counterpart Haider Abadi is the budget of the Peshmerga who are part of Iraq’s defense system, Kurdistan Region’s share of medical and health budget and funding for the purchase of wheat from farmers.Gardi added that Baghdad is also to give 17 percent of the $5 billion it is planning to borrow from the World Bank.“In addition there is the security agreement and the situation of the internally displaced people (IDPs) that Iraq must abide by and these issues are outside the disputes [between Erbil and Baghdad],” said Gardi. “There could also be discussions about oil and other disputes.”One other topic the Kurdish and Iraqi leaders may discuss is the Mosul dam which is deteriorating and if collapses it will endanger the lives of millions of people. The dam needs urgent renovation.The final battle for Mosul would be raised in the meeting, said Gardi, but it will not be a central topic.“There is no serious discussion about the liberation of Mosul because there is still no serious preparation for that matter and heavy weapons have not been sent to the Peshmerga yet,” he explained. “And the Iraqi forces are not ready yet for this battle as they have not finished the war in Ramadi and Baiji when there is in the meantime the fear of sectarian violence.”The high-level Kurdish delegation includes Deputy Prime Minister Qubad Talabani, Presidential Chief of Staff Fuad Hussein and Foreign Relations Minister Falah Mustafa.Meetings with Iraqi President Fuad Masum and US Ambassador Stuart Jones are believed to be on the agenda.
