RIA Novosti

MOSCOW, February 10 (RIA Novosti) - Russia is ready to help Iraq in training servicemen if the process takes place on Russian territory and would be financed by the Iraqi side, a high-ranking source in the Russian Defense Ministry told RIA Novosti.

"We can and are ready to do this but only on certain conditions. First, the training of the servicemen would take place on the territory of the Russian Federation. Secondly, financial obligations would be clearly specified," the source said.

"There will be no free aid," the source added. He also underscored that Russia has similar conditions regarding arms deliveries to Iraq.
