Iraqi Defence Minister Saadun al-Dulaimi has dismissed reports that his country has cancelled all $4.2bln dollars worth of its arms contracts with Russia, signed in Moscow in October during a visit by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, the Voice of Russia reported.
He said the contracts are on track, if only slightly delayed by a probe into possible corruption in them.
Iraq wants to procure a variety of Russian-made weaponry, including anti-aircraft missile batteries.
