ARBIL, Iraq, Aug 30 (Reuters) - Iraq's Kurdish authorities on Monday defended a deal recently signed with Germany's RWE (RWEG.DE) to help them develop the region's gas resources, saying the agreement was legal and constitutional.

Iraq's Oil Ministry issued a statement on Sunday saying that the agreement, like oil deals that the semi-autonomous Kurdish Regional Government has signed with international companies, is illegal because Iraq's oil and gas are federal resources.
