| Russia won’t be discriminated against in Iraq |
US authorities will not allow any discrimination against Russian companies in Iraq, Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov said after a meeting of the Russia-NATO Council in Madrid on Wednesday. According to him, representatives of the US administration provided the necessary assurances to the Russian side during recent consultations in Moscow.
Mr. Ivanov stressed that Russian companies would participate in tenders for the development of Iraqi oilfields on equal terms with foreign companies. He expressed hope that Russian companies would manage to win the tenders, as they have vast experience in dealing with Iraq and are acquainted with the peculiarities of this country.
During his visit to St. Petersburg last weekend, US President George Bush also spoke about the possibility of Russian oil firms working in Iraq. However, it is unclear how much of the Iraqi pie Russian companies will get and how strong the Russian presence in Iraq will be. In this respect, Mr. Bush indicated that Moscow should not expect any serious oil contracts with Baghdad.
