-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Primakov blasts U.S. over expulsions Friday, 23 March 2001 10:40 (ET) Primakov blasts U.S. over expulsions MOSCOW, March 23 (UPI) -- Former Russian Prime Minister Yevgeny Primakov added his voice of indignation Friday to a growing chorus of angry comments over the Bush administration's decision to expel 50 Russian diplomats from the United States. "They can't get along without Russia, and to think that they talk to us as to some sort of Latin American country -- and not just any Latin American country, but some banana republic!," spluttered an indignant Primakov, who for many years held the post of foreign minister and was used to being treated as an equal of former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright as a representative of a great power at international gatherings. Sergei Ivanov, the secretary of Russia's Security Council and one of President Vladimir Putin's closest aides, Friday added to his recent comments that the expulsion case would have a very negative effect on Russian-U.S. relations. "For the next few months, one can forget about cooperation between Russian and U.S. special services" in the fields of joint fighting against international terrorism, proliferation of nuclear and missile technologies and drug trafficking. Ivanov was quoted by the official Itar-Tass news agency as saying that all such cooperation programs will be put on ice for an indefinite period because of the expulsions.
