The deputy > believes that the subject of diplomatic settlement of the problem is > exhausted. > > "We are deeply distressed by the recent developments and we will discuss > this issue at the committee meeting," said Dmitri Rogozin. According to him, > if "the committee members accede to the proposal for Russia to unilaterally > walk out on the enforcement of sanctions against Iraq, the respective draft > resolution will be moved for the house to debate." Dmitri Rogozin maintains > that Russia's response to US action against Iraq must be "material". > > "The United States crossed the Rubicon, and its action was not motivated by > anything," Rogozin said. He pointed out that the forceful action had been > marked by "cunning", RIA Novosti reports. "The bombing began Friday morning, > US time, that is Friday evening, European time, when the staff of all > European foreign policy agencies had left to spend a weekend with their > families, with no-one left to react," the deputy said. > > http://english.pravda.ru/politics/2001/02/19/2587.html > > Miroslav Antic, > http://www.antic.org/SNN/ > > _________ _________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
