Three differences over US draft resolution on Iraq remain-Fedotov

IRNA

Moscow, Oct 15, Itar-Tass/ACSNA/IRNA -- Differences on the US draft of
a new UN Security Council resolution on Iraq remain, but they have now
been reduced to two or three key points, Russian Deputy Foreign 
Minister Yuri Fedotov said. 
"We admit that some additional steps have been taken to 
accommodate the positions of Russia and other members of the UN 
Security Council. At the same time far from all of our proposed 
amendments have been properly taken into account." 
Fedotov said this in the first place concerned the role of the 
United Nations in the process of a political settlement in Iraq and 
the multi-national force mandate. 
"The discussions being held have helped reduce the differences to 
two or three key items. This is precisely the reason why the work to 
narrow differences must continue. In the current shape the draft 
resolution is not ripe for being put to the vote yet. Consultations 
must go on," he said.
