Russia is trying to convince Iran to withdraw its Geneva Arbitration
Court claim over the scrapping of a 2007 contract for five S-300
surface-to-air missile systems, Russian business daily Kommersant
reported on Wednesday.
“Iran’s complaint is an irritating issue in our cooperation which we hope to get rid of,” the Kommersant daily quoted a source in the Federal Service for Military and Technical Cooperation as saying.
According to Kommersant, the issue was discussed during Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov’s visit to Iran in mid-June. Tehran however refused to withdraw the suit.
Iran’s Defense Ministry and The Aerospace Industries Organization, an Iranian state company, launched the $4-billion lawsuit against Russia’s state arms corporation Rosoboronexport in the international arbitration court in Geneva on April 13, 2011, seven months after then-president Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree terminating the contract, in line with UN Security Council Resolution 1929, which bans supply to Iran of conventional weapons including missiles and missile systems, tanks, attack helicopters, warplanes and ships.
