Russia, Syria, Iran, Iraq agree to establish ‘information center’ against ISIS terrorists

World

MOSCOW,(ST)_A Russian military-diplomatic source has declared that Russia, Syria, Iran and Iraq agreed on establishing a joint information center in Baghdad to cooperate their operations against ISIS terrorists.

“The main goal of the center will be gathering, processing and analyzing current information about the situation in the Middle East – primarily for fighting ISIS,” the source told Russian news agencies on Saturday.

It added that the agreement is a milestone for uniting the region’s countries in the war on terrorism – primarily on terrorists affiliated to ISIS [also known as ISIL or IS].

The RT reported that the information center in the Iraqi capital is to be headed by an officer of one of the founding countries on a rotating basis. Rotation will take place every three months, and Iraq will run the center for the next three months.

Russia, Syria, Iran and Iraq may also use the information center to coordinate anti-ISIS combat plans, according to the agreement.

Repeatedly, Russian officials stress that Moscow is continuing to supply Syria with weapons in accordance with bilateral contracts.

Nothing hidden under the table

“Russia has never made a secret of military-technical cooperation with Syria. Our country has long been supplying weapons and military equipment to Syria under the existing bilateral contracts,” Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a statement on September 9.

Recently, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem told RT“ Moscow is acting within the framework of international law, respecting the sovereignty of our country and in coordination with Syria,. We do not hide anything under the table. We regard Russia as our friend and strategic ally which is honest in its actions.”
