Baghdad wants Russian peacekeepers in Iraq: Iraqi FM
Yahoo News

Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari says Russian peacekeepers are needed in Iraq, as he arrived in Moscow Saturday for a two-day visit, the Interfax news agency reported.

"We need Russian peacekeepers," Interfax quoted Zebari as saying, shortly after he landed at Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport.

Russia opposed the US-led war in Iraq last year and has no troops there.

Zebari also said Baghdad wanted Russian experts to return to Iraq to help rebuild the country's economy.

"We want Russian experts to return to Iraq, as they did very good work there," the ITAR-TASS news agency quoted him as saying.

Zebari is due to meet with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov to discuss "the normalization process in Iraq, prospects for progress in the political process, and issues of bilateral relations," the Russian foreign ministry said in a statement Friday.

Russia has been particularly keen to reclaim its Soviet-era oil interests in Iraq.
