The Kurdistan regional government is willing to hold talks with the federal government of Iraq about a dispute over Kurdish airports, border posts and banks, Reuters reports, citing a statement published overnight. The central government in Baghdad has taken measures to isolate the Kurdish region in the country’s north after it voted for independence in a referendum held last month.
