ARBIL Iraq (Reuters) - Iraq's bid to thwart exports of oil from Kurdistan via Turkey by filing for international arbitration is a "hollow threat" that will fail, the autonomous region said on Sunday.

The Iraqi Oil Ministry said on Friday it was taking legal action against Ankara and state-owned pipeline operator BOTAS for facilitating the first sale of crude to be piped from Kurdistan without Baghdad's consent.
