The Russian delegation representatives conducted negotiations with Iraq’s Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, the country’s National Security Advisor Faleh al-Fayad and Oil Minister Abdul al-Luaibi.

“Russia has an extensive experience in cooperating with countries in the Middle East, and Iraq is one of our new large customers. We are interested in seeing our defense equipment implemented exclusively for protection of the country’s citizens and enforcement of Iraq’s sovereignty,” Mr. Chemezov said.

Besides, the bilateral military-technical cooperation provides for planned localisation of service maintenance for the equipment supplied. This is another step towards implementation of Rostec State Corporation’s strategy for development of global after-sale service.

The Iraqi officials also expressed interest in Russian civil automotive products, especially in the KAMAZ line of heavy commercial vehicles.

Another area discussed during the negotiations between the Russian delegation and members of the Iraqi government was cooperation in development of power generation. The parties discussed the possibility of resuming construction of the second stage of Yusufiyah thermal power plant. This stage of the project involves construction of six power generating units with the capacity of 210 MW each. The project is operated by Rostec subsidiary Technopromexport, which has upgraded Hartha power plant and built the first stage of Yusufiyah under contract worth more than $550 million.

The largest contracts in the area of military technical cooperation currently being fulfilled are those for Russian rotorcraft equipment procurement at $4.2 billion.

During the negotiations Rosneft offered to perform technical audits of operating facilities by Rosneft and support geologic exploration and development of new oil fields.

“Iraq has high potential for oil production, which, however, can be performed only in conditions of stability. We strongly believe that joint bilateral projects will help to develop the economy effectively and thus considerably facilitate normalisation of the country’s political environment,” Mr. Sechin said.

Iraq to Buy up to 30 General Dynamics Stryker Vehicles

Iraq’s military wants to buy as many as 30 General Dynamics Stryker eight-wheeled combat vehicles.
The $25-million deal would be the first international sale of the vehicles, which were developed for the US Army.
If accepted by the Iraqi government, the proposal would be submitted to Congress for approval because the Stryker is a major Army weapons system.
The Stryker models would be equipped with sensors, test equipment and communications gear capable of detecting nuclear fallout or chemical and biological agents. The US version connects with Army communications networks to alert commanders and chart routes free of contaminants.
Stuart Bowen, the US Special Inspector for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR), said the total value of all agreed and proposed military arms and equipment sales to Iraq could be as much $19.1 billion.
The approved deals include a first installment of Lockheed Martin F-16 fighters and C-130J transports, General Dynamics M1A1 tanks, 35M Patrol Boats made by Swiftships Shipbuilders LLC, Bell Helicopter Textron IA 407 Helicopters and maintenance, sustainment and training for those systems, according to the U.S. Embassy official.

Currently Iraq is unable to do anything in terms of military action against KRG cause it will result in sanctions on buying weapons and the Iraqi forces are not equipped enough to endure those sanctions, also using other kinds of pressure is hard because KRG protects itself by offering its oil very cheap to Turkey, Iraq has something usefull against them which is the budget share of around 23% that they get from the national budget, Iraq could cut this down or completely only the democratic process and a non major party makes it hard to do such things.

Turkey is standing arm by arm with the iraqi kurds..

not sure what is up with your government..but they'd rather jeopardise the relations with baghdad, over barazani and his lot.

Not to worry though..old habits die hard...we'll take back what was violated by the kurds.

Its just for cheap oil and gas, if Iraq offers cheaper oil to Turkey they would throw KRG away, they will not defend them when it comes down to them annexing iraqi lands.
