Although the licenses for the production of Kalashnikov arms have expired in the 90es, around 35 companies outside Russia continue to produce such weapons, comments “Rosiiskaya gazera” newspaper.

The article claims that the US produce Kalashnikov together with the Bulgarian company “Arsenal” and the production goes to Iraq. Therefore, it was not by accident that the Italian police had found Bulgarian dealer in the $40M transaction aiming to supply arms to Iraq.

To remind that the Italian police prevented illegal import of over 100 thousand Kalashnikov arms in Iraq and four people were arrested.

Italy announced the arms were produced in Russia.

“Rosiiskaya gazeta”, however, firmly denied participation of Russia in the deal, determining the such information as “pure fabrication”.

The edition reminds that the former Soviet Union had organised the production of arms in 18 countries. The newspaper adds that behind the official documents pointing that the arms were for the police department in the Iraqi Anbar province, there is a conspiracy aiming to fulfill the needs of the American army.
