MNA � The director of the Russian Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation says that cooperation with Iran and Libya is not at odds with UN resolutions.


��Russia's defense industry cooperation with�Iran and Libya does not contradict the UN Security Council resolutions, Dmitry Shugaev, the director of�the Federal Service for�Military-Technical Cooperation (FSMTC), told the Kommersant newspaper.

"We are strictly adhering to�all international commitments we have undertaken. We have documents adopted by�the United Nations and all subsequent decrees of�the country [Russia's] leadership. This concerns both Libya and Iran," Shugaev said, as�quoted in�the newspaper.

The FSMTC director added that Russia and Iran were discussing the maintenance of�previous deliveries, which was well within�the international legal framework.

Russia and Iran signed a contract for�deliveries of�S-300 missile systemsin�2007, however, its implementation was suspended in�2010 when the UNSC adopted a resolution, which forbade to�supply Iran with�advanced military equipment, including missile systems.

The restriction was lifted and deliveries resumed after�Iran reached an agreement with�China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States and Germany, collectively referred to�as�the P5+1 group, in�2015. Tehran pledged to�keep its nuclear program peaceful in�exchange for�gradual lifting of�sanctions.

Russia completed deliveries of�S-300 systems to�Iran last year.
