Turkish Energy Minister Taner Yıldız has said the total exports of Kurdish Iraqi oil through Turkey since May has reached 10 million barrels, amid ongoing tension with the Iraqi government over the legitimacy of the sales.

Answering questions at a news conference with members of the Economy Correspondents Association on Sept. 4, Yıldız said the 13th oil tanker had been loaded with oil at the port of Ceyhan, which is located in southern Turkey.
