A row between Turkey and Iraq over the shipment of petroleum products has been resolved.

Russia is considering imposing duties on more than half of Belarusian imports in a major escalation of a dispute between the two countries that has disrupted the flow of Russian oil to Europe, the Vedomosti business daily reported Wednesday.

Russia says talks with Belarus on resuming oil shipments to Western Europe cannot get under way until Belarus first cancels a new transit fee on oil coming from Russia.

Belarus says a compromise has been found to resolve the oil-transit dispute with Russia.
