RBC, 18.03.2003, Moscow 17:44:05.No matter what the result of the war against Iraq will be, it will have negative consequences for the security of Russia, Colonel-General Leonid Ivashov, who is a former head of the Defense Ministry's international cooperation department, said at a press conference today. According to him, a huge military force is concentrated close to the Russian border, which will hardly leave this location in the event of a victory. In Ivashov's opinion, many of the US troops will remain in this region for controlling the situation; another part will be relocated to the southern border of Russia, to Turkey and Georgia. At the same time, "Russia's southern border will be under pressure," he pointed out. In the opinion of the expert, irrespective of the results of the war, Russia will go through considerable economic shocks. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
