turkey-flagANKARA: Turkey's energy investments in Iraq are continuing as planned, Turkish Energy Minister Taner Yildiz told Reuters on Wednesday, a day after a plane carrying him to a conference in Iraqi Kurdistan was denied permission to land.

 

Iraq's central government in Baghdad, which has been locked in a feud over oil and land rights with the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in the north, has been riled by Turkey's recent moves aimed at forging closer ties with the Iraqi Kurds.
