#Nebenzia: Russia🇷🇺 alongside with other SC members welcomes #Baghdad’s tireless efforts aimed at implementing its intn'l obligations to pay out the awarded compensation to all claimants [under #UNCC]. Thanks to this responsible approach, #Iraq completed its payments last month. https://t.co/liwUyss3D2

#Nebenzia: Over that period, the #MiddleEast has seen some dramatic transformations. However #Iraq and its closest neighbors, #Kuwait in the first place, set forth dialogue in a consistent & standing manner in order to foster lasting peace and security in the region. @mfa_russia https://t.co/UIyoTnMP2f

#Nebenzia: We welcome endorsement of long-term results of elections to the Council of Representatives of #Iraq🇮🇶. We trust that the parties that made it to the parliament will be able to agree in a timely manner on a candidature for president & composition of the new government. https://t.co/5y4GhcF2PQ

#Nebenzia: Despite #Iraq’s success on the counter-terrorist front, security situation is still fragile, i.a. due to growing activity of the terrorist underground. This challenge can be effectively opposed only through maximum broad coordination of counter-#terrorism efforts. https://t.co/BWVooMxepm

#Nebenzia: All those involved in combating #terrorism in #Iraq must respect its sovereignty and coordinate steps w/#Baghdad. Illegitimate military presence in 🇮🇶 is unacceptable. Foreign military formations can only be deployed upon consent of local authorities or a SC decision. https://t.co/VINCPMSAoz

#Nebenzia: In this context, we commend the activity of #Baghdad-based four-lateral Information Center, where the military of #Russia, #Iraq, #Iran and #Syria take part. This mechanism does the important work coordinating counter-terrorism steps in Iraq & Syria. @mfa_russia https://t.co/N1qvbZldWr

#Nebenzia: Further improvement of relations of #Baghdad and #Erbil will help #Iraq strengthen its security. Resolution of ethnical & confessional problems will make it possible to engage the economic potential effectively for the benefit of entire🇮🇶nation. https://t.co/RYnqylfJT0 https://t.co/gxNWckXBUL
