At a forum of OSCE Russia of impromptus does not prepare.
Dmitry Gornostaev.
AT the ISTANBUL summit of OSCE not Russia should search understanding
At the West, and on the contrary, - such is a position of the president of the Russian Federation Boris
Yeltsin. Having arrived yesterday in second half of day in the largest city
Turkey where the all-European meeting at the highest levels today opens,
The head of the state has let know at once, that the Russian delegation
Will take of a rigid offensive position. "I hope, all will understand, that
Russia in the Chechen Republic operates to the international civilised measures and
To rules. At last, will understand it, especially after my performance
At the summit ", - Yeltsin first minutes of stay in the has declared
The residence located in the luxurious Istanbul
"Suiss-hotel". Has logically added Yeltsin's words and the minister
Foreign affairs of Russia Igor Ivanov: "it is not required To us, that
Someone supported our position. The Chechen Republic is an internal business
Russia, and the Russian management fulfils the duty to the
The people. We hope for understanding, instead of on support. Understanding
That there is a difficult struggle against the international terrorism and that
The terrorism is not only a problem of Russia, that is why here
Solidarity and understanding are required. If someone is
To aspire to politize this problem if someone is
To try to speculate, it, first, will not respond
To the summit agenda, and secondly, will promote hardly
To creation of constructive atmosphere for conference job ". That
There is actually Russian minister has let know, that the excessive
The criticism of Russia across the Chechen Republic can appear the reason definitive
Dialogue failure between Russia and the West on this concrete
To problem.
President Yeltsin has defined a position and on the second important for
Russia to a question of the present summit - Charters European
Safety: "If it is in that kind, in which it in
Last time it was co-ordinated, Russia will sign it ".
Really, on the eve of the present summit of OSCE it is more than questions
In total on the Russian subjects, and at Moscow is much
ozabochennostej in relation to the West. Words of Igor Ivanov,
Yeltsin who has continued dialogue with the press, have installed confidence, that
Impromptus expected usually at large international meetings from
Boris Nikolaevicha should not be. "Russia any surprises not
Prepares ", - the minister has declared. But here from other participants of a forum,
First of all from the USA, it is possible to wait for everyone. First of all
Problems can arise under the central document of the summit
Charters of the European safety. As is known, a main objective
In this context - to achieve Washington decrease in a role of OSCE and
To deduce on the NATO foreground in system of safety of continent.
Therefore in the text of the Charter Americans do not wish to see a mention about
The central or predominating role of OSCE. Exists and much
Other disagreements on which "NG" in detail informed in the previous
Numbers, therefore the document text will be co-ordinated even
Today in first half of day. It is impossible to exclude, that will arise
Complexities, and from threat of failure of signing of guarantees to give nobody
Can. At least, still yesterday, according to Ivanov, remains
Some formulations demanding the additional coordination.
However Russia recognised that by today the Charter
Quite really to sign.
It was finished in last hours and preparing for signing
The adapted Contract on usual armed forces in Europe
(DOVSE). Heads of diplomatic and military departments of Russia Igor
Ivanov and Igor Sergeev carried out last consultations with
The Georgian and Moldavian delegations. As is known, with
The parties of Tbilisi and Kishinev have arisen recently complexities in
Question of flank restrictions. A question on military presence on
Territories of Georgia and Moldova Russian armies also rises in
Course of end of the coordination adapted DOVSE. And still
The sharpest will be, possibly, discussion round Chechen
Question. And though in the Russian delegation state confidence in
The volume, that this problem will rise only in the oral
Performances also will not find any reflexion in the final
Documents, the excessive satiation the Chechen subjects will not go on
Advantage to summit atmosphere.
Yeltsin and Ivanov's rigid words have brought turmoil in numbers
The western politicians also have forced them to begin to doubt strongly in
Correctness of the chosen strategy. To show to the world full powerlessness
In front of Russia diplomats and leaders of the states of the West not very much and
Want.
Besides other, one of the subjects discussed at the summit, becomes
Problem Nagornogo Karabaha. In last hours the beginnings the day before
Forum jobs there was an information that within the limits of a meeting
It will be co-ordinated and, probably, a certain document, the truth is signed,
Sources in the Armenian and Azerbaijan delegations converged in
Opinion, that, most likely, it will carry the declarative
Character, nevertheless is important that negotiations were not
Are broken. Yerevan and Baku are going to to confirm the basic
Intention to continue negotiations. However, it is not excluded, that
There will be also a new plot, in particular, in such plan: probably,
Speech will come about an establishment of confederative relations between
Azerbaijan and Nagornym Karabahom. That is actually Nagornyj
Karabah will exist irrespective of Baku, but at the same time
Legally remains as a part of Azerbaijan.
As to surprises they already are. The head the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Norway
The whip Vollebekk which country presides in OSCE, has declared:
"To Istanbul there have arrived representatives of the Chechen Republic with whom will be
Negotiations "are carried on. It is known, that Chechens - five persons.
Among them - Movladi Udugov.
Istanbul.
