    ANKARA — A leading Turkish company intends to construct a refinery northeast of Kirkuk, Iraq.   

    Turkey's Genel Enerji plans to build a refinery with a capacity for 60,000 barrels in Iraq in 2010.

    They said the Kurdish Regional Government has approved the three-stage refinery project, including the development of Taq Taq.

    Genel plans to launch the first stage of refinery operations in 2011 and reach initial capacity of 40,000.

    Full capacity was scheduled to take place the following year.
