Iraqi Kurds promote Iraqi federalism

The Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Regional Government writes in the Wall Street Journal about how Iraqi Kurds have chosen to defend federalism and that the region’s new oil law is in accord with that. He says: federalism means that we have the liberty to develop our resources under the umbrella, but not the central control, of Iraq. It means that as 17% of the population we will receive 17% of the wealth, and that we will accordingly share 83% of our wealth with the rest of the population.
