Al-Jalabi calls on Moscow to talk to Iraqi opposition to ensure oil interests
Iraq-Russia, Politics, 10/5/2002

One of the Iraqi opposition leaders, Ahmad al-Jalabi, has called on Russia to negotiate with the Iraqi National Congress, an opposition group, in order to preserve its oil interests in Iraq.

Al-Jalabi's statements came commenting of statements saying that Moscow seeks to get American assertions that its oil contracts and interests in Iraq will not be damaged in case Iraq is attacked and the regime there is changed.

Al-Jalabi said "In my personal view, Russia has legitimate interests in Iraq including oil interests. To honor their interests, I recommend them to maintain a dialogue now with the Iraqi National Congress."
