Primakove: Striking Iraq is a grave mistake

Former Russian prime minister and member of the Russian Duma council Y. Primakove has warned the US from the consequences of striking Iraq, stressing Russia's total rejection to such attack which will constitute a grave mistake.

In statement to the Lebanese magazine al-Hawadith issued on Thursday, the Russian official called for the need of establishing a Palestinian state so as to establish peace in the Middle East region. He also called for coordinating international efforts and forces in order to contribute to making peace in the region and not to limit this activity to the US.
