Primakov May Be OK After All
Primakov, a 68 year old veteran Russian bureaucrat and former KGB head, may be acceptable to the United States despite a history of opposing U.S. policy in the Middle East. He supported lifting U.N. sanctions on Iraq and has backed arms sales to Cyprus and Iran, reflecting Russia’s aim to restore status.
