Iraqi Kurdistan gets around $100 million for first major oil export as third oil tanker
Third tanker loaded with Kurdistan oil to leave Turkey's port of Ceyhan. Energy Minister, Taner Yildiz says Turkey does not know who bought the oil.
Israel claims they already received it. But Turkey has not been officially informed of this, and it's rumoured that President Obama will look without fondness on anyone facilitating the breakup of Iraq by buying what Kurdistan hasn't official govenrment approval to sell.
Yildiz said in a press statement Monday "The Kurdistan oil's sales are being deposited to a Turkish government bank."

Perhaps that last is one reason Turkey has looked so favourably upon Kurdistan recently.
