Primakov Named Russia Foreign Minister in Yeltsin Shakeup
President Boris Yeltsin appointed Yevgeny Primakov, long TIME director of the Foreign Intelligence Service and Middle East expert, as Russia's new foreign minister. The 66 year old Communist Party veteran's stance favors a strong military, balanced ties with the West, and loyalty to Russia amid shifting power. Primakov aims to maintain armed strength and defend territorial integrity, signaling a hawkish shift from the ousted Kozyrev.
