RUSSIA WILLING TO JOIN HANDS WITH USA ON MIDEAST ISSUE








MOSCOW, MARCH 7, RIA NOVOSTI - Russia looks forward to constructive teamwork with the USA to settle Mideastern issues-- in particular, to get developments round Iraq out of a deadend, and resume progress toward an all-round Arab-Israeli settlement, says Alexander Yakovenko, press spokesman of Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.


	As Moscow sees it, the new US Administration is only blueprinting its Mideastern policies, whose practical content will become clear only some time later, he added.
