MOSCOW, January 30, 2004. (RIA Novosti) - Russia will take a decision on its possible joining George Bush's disarmament initiative, proceeding from its national interests.
As RIA Novosti was told by a source in the Russian Foreign Ministry, the USA does not set any preconditions to Russia and did not name the final date for joining this initiative.
"We shall cooperate in checking illegal arms deliveries; our interests coincide with the interests of a whole number of countries in preventing the appearance of black arms markets. But whether this will be done within the framework of Bush's initiative or with the use of other mechanisms will depend on the aims of such cooperation, said the source.
