SOCHI, August 18 (RIA Novosti) - Russia will strive for full-scale implementation of the Road Map in the Middle East peace settlement, Russian President Vladimir Putin told a news conference after his meeting with King of Jordan Abdullah II Thursday.
Putin pointed out that new steps in the Middle East peace process must not lead to new violence and promised to coordinate Russia's efforts with all participating parties.
Russia's President said the Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip was only a part of the Road Map plan.
"This plan envisions some other efforts. And we will strive for its complete implementation," Putin said.
