Turkey, Iraq Working on Exporting Basra Oil Via Turkey

Turkey's energy ministry said it had started technical work with the central Iraqi government on shipping crude oil from Basra in southern Iraq via the Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline to Turkey's Mediterranean coast and from there to world markets.

The announcement came days after Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdish region said it might begin selling natural gas directly to Turkey within two years, a move which could anger the central government and strain Ankara's ties with Baghdad.
