Russian companies are free in cooperation with Iran - Mirkazemi.

MOSCOW, July 17 (Itar-Tass) -- Russia's companies have hull freedom in
cooperation with Iran, the country's Minister of Petroleum SeyyedMasood
Mirkazemi said.
He commented on Lukoil's refusal to supply petrol to the Islamic
Republic of Iran, saying that all companies "have full freedom in the
issues of energy cooperation or exchange with Iran."
The countries, which would not wish to cooperate with Tehran "will be
on a black list," he added. "In future, we shall not have any trade or
economic contacts with them."
"Everyone should know that those who break relations with us now, will
miss great revenues in future," he said in an interview to the Russia
Today TV channel.
Iran produces petrol itself and can do without importing it, Mirkazemi
said.
"We only have to notify our oil refineries and they will satisfy our
needs," he explained. "We could purchase petrol abroad, but do not think
it reasonable to change the ways of supplies for our needs in it."
He commented on the talks with Russian counterparts, and said that the
consultations were "a basis for cooperation in energy between our
companies."
"This basis will make easier cooperation in oil and gas, in
petrochemicals, in technical cooperation, mutual investments and in
establishment of financial institutions to protect these projects,"
Mirkazemi said.
