Russia Dismisses Washington's Plot To Turn Nations Against
Tehran
International News Updates
13 April 2009
Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey
Lavrov made it clear Saturday that Moscow had no
intention of being tougher with Tehran in order to
please Washington.
"It's our neighbor, it's a country which can play a
very important role in solving a number of acute
international issues, such as the situation in
Afghanistan, Iraq and different aspects of Mideast
peace settlement," Lavrov said.
"We aren't closing our eyes on remaining questions
about the Iranian nuclear program. But it would be
unrealistic to expect us to raise pressure on Iran
beyond what has been agreed upon," he said.
On a more general note, Lavrov warned that Moscow
wouldn't engage in any kind of quid pro quo. "Any
trade-offs would be unprincipled and unrealistic," he
said. "They would undermine trust in our diplomacy,
and we cherish that trust no less than others."
The Russian foreign minister said that relations with
the United States are on a positive track, noting that
Moscow is feeling a "cautious optimism" about
relations with Washington.
"We are satisfied with how our relations with the new
US Administration are developing," Lavrov said in a
speech to a group of political scholars. "Mutual
confidence was being eroded for a long period, and it
will take time to rebuild it. But we are moving now in
the right direction."
President Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev
met in London last week and ordered negotiators into
immediate action on a treaty to further reduce nuclear
weapons. Russian officials have voiced hope that Obama
will dump his predecessor's plan to deploy missile
defense sites in Poland and the Czech Republic.
