Aeroflot signs MOU with Iraqi Airways

Aeroflot, a Russian carrier, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Iraqi Airways regarding the recommencement of regular scheduled flights between Russia and Iraq.
Regular air services to Iraq have been suspended since 1990 when Iraq invaded Kuwait, however there have been recent moves to overturn the ban on flights, with several countries, including Russia and France, operating `humanitarian` flights to Iraq without authorisation from the United Nations. Both Russia and France argue that the UN Security Council never adopted a specific text banning all flights to or from Iraq
The MOU states that Aeroflot will resume flights to Iraq `within the framework of a bilateral interstate agreement on air service` however it is unclear whether or not such an agreement has been prepared according to Reuters. The MOU also provides for Aeroflot establishing a representative office in Iraq and for Iraqi Airways to do the same in Moscow.
Vnukovo Airlines, a Russian domestic carrier, has also indicated its intention to begin flights to Iraq and is apparently waiting on government permission.
