The Iraqi parliament’s security and defence committee this weekend announced that Moscow had approved the sale of Russian arms to the war-torn country. Notably, the move comes one month after the Iraqi government gave Russia the green light to target convoys sent into Iraqi territory from Syria by the Daesh militant group.
Committee member Shakhwan Abdullah told Anadolu Agency on Saturday that the transaction - which will be made on credit -- came as a result of earlier talks between committee members and their counterparts in the Russian State Duma Council and other senior Russian officials.
