This trade was disrupted when an international arbitration court ruled in favor of the Iraqi federal government in its claim against Turkey over Ankara's decision to permit the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) to export oil via Ceyhan without its permission and in violation of a 1973 agreement governing the Iraq-Turkey Crude Oil Pipeline.
