MOSCOW URGES IRAQI DEALS.

A Foreign Ministry spokesman yesterday urged Russian businesses to pursue economic opportunities in Iraq opened up by the UN’s May 20 decision permitting Baghdad to import $2 billion worth of oil over a six-month period. Through such dealings, the spokesman said, Russian business leaders could help both to ease the suffering of the Iraqi people and to reestablish traditional economic ties between Moscow and Baghdad.
