#Polyanskiy: The state of affairs [in #Iraq] is aggravated by worrisome socio-economic situation & spreading #COVID19. We underscore the need to render intn'l assistance to #Baghdad so that it could recover economic & humanitarian sectors, devastated during the war against ISIL. https://t.co/Ir3KHHzcNx

#Polyanskiy: We perceive positively the efforts made by the authorities of #Iraq and the Kurdish autonomous region in order to resolve the existing contradictions. Further improvement of relations between #Baghdad and #Erbil'll promote security & help resolve the problems at hand https://t.co/t99rez09fp

#Polyanskiy: We call upon all external stakeholders, who are interested in stabilizing the internal situation in #Iraq🇮🇶 to keep from unilateral destructive steps that affect the situation both within and outside the Iraqi borders. @RusEmbassyIraq https://t.co/GVV03X6Ap6

#Kuzmin: Hopefully, #Iraq|i authorities will soon be able to have access to the collected evidence, as envisaged in UNSC resolution 2379. This document defines the Iraqi authorities as the main recipients of the evidence collected by #UNITAD. 🔗https://t.co/dAGArH71pB https://t.co/vQgFd4Efu7

#Kuzmin: Since September 2019, 215 🇷🇺children from #Syria and 122 children from #Iraq were repatriated to Russia. No child was sent to orphanage, all live in families. Doctors and psychologists assist children to adapt and to return to peaceful life. https://t.co/tBjmhX1jEQ

#Kuzmin: Russia has been engaging systemically with the authorities of #Syria and #Iraq to evacuate children from conflict zones. We've built an effective system of interaction that lets identify & repatriate children of🇷🇺citizens while fully complying w/norms of the intn'l law. https://t.co/MbwOpbOEpd

#Kuzmin: By this time, appr.3⃣5⃣0⃣ minors have safely returned from #Syria and #Iraq. One of our priority tasks at this track is ensuring social adaptation of these children. To achieve this, we among other things render support to their relatives who act as caregivers. https://t.co/LTbJMkTO1j

#Nebenzia: This is a truly historic event – special session of the Security Council on the occasion of closure of the 🇺🇳Compensation Commission for #Iraq and adoption of resolution 2621. It took more than 30 years before we could convene this meeting. https://t.co/HI4bmMk0bE https://t.co/dXYJASwHh9

#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
