BAGHDAD, Oct 3 (Reuters) - Talks to restart Iraqi oil exports via a crude oil pipeline that runs through Turkey are still ongoing, an Iraqi oil official told Reuters, one day after Turkey said operations would start again next week after a near six-month stoppage.

"We have further meetings soon and things will be more clear on how serious is Turkey to show some flexibility," the official told Reuters on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the topic. (Reporting by Ahmed Rasheed and Maha El Dahan; Editing by Jan Harvey)
