Abstract :Observers expected that Yevgeny Primakov, who replaced Andrei Kozyrev as Russia`s foreign minister in early 1996, would activate Russian policy in the Gulf. Recent reports seemingly have confirmed this expectation. Russia has signed energy agreements with Iraq worth up to $10 million that are to go into effect once UN sanctions are lifted. And recently Russia has reached an agreement with Iran on delivery of defence-related goods totalling $4 billion over the next 4-5 years. Iran is seeking a long-term stable agreement with Russia to replace the one that Mikhail Gorbachov negotiated in 1989. As of now Russia is already selling Iran $500 million a year in arms, which makes up almost 85 per cent of Iran’s total imports from Russia
