Turkey restarted Iraq oil flow as debt paid -source

ANKARA, July 22 (Reuters) - Turkey restarted loadings of halted Iraqi oil exports on Tuesday after Iraq paid $50 million of a total $100 million debt, a senior source from the state pipeline company Botas told Reuters.

An Iraq oil ministry official had said earlier Iraq's Kirkuk oil exports to Turkey had been halted after a Turkish court ordered the stoppage pending settlement of the claim. (Reporting by Orhan Coskun, editing by Anthony Barker)
