BAGHDAD, June 01, 2014 (AFP) — Turkey has been "driven by greed" in an escalating row over oil pumped from Iraq's autonomous Kurdish region and shipped overseas, Baghdad's top politician responsible for energy told AFP Sunday.
"We believe Turkey has been driven by greed to try to lay (its) hands on cheap Iraqi oil," Hussein al-Shahristani, deputy prime minister responsible for energy affairs, said in an interview.
