"Russia Will Help Iraq Via Trade Not Troops"

（ロシアはイラクを軍隊ではなく貿易で支援する） ― ロイター電。版の遅い地域なら、25日の朝刊に載るだろうか。
土曜日、ロシアはアメリカが率いるイラク駐留軍に派兵する意志がなく、貿易を拡大したり債務を軽減したりすることによってイラクを支援する準備があることを明らかにした。
セルゲイ・ラブロフ外相はイラクのホシヤール・ゼバリ外相との会談の後、モスクワとイラクが長く保ってきた関係を強化していくことを約束した。
こういう支援の方法もあり、それが通信社のトップニュースで伝えられるような重みを持つこと（＝「顔の見える」国際貢献であること）を私たちはもう一度確認すべきである。これは、私たちの憲法の精神そのものではないか。軍隊によらない国際社会への寄与、平和の構築という理念は今も決してその有効性に翳りを見せていないことをこの記事は示している。
そのことを、よく小泉内閣に、国会議員の方々に、そして私の同胞たちに認識してもらいたいと、私は願う。平和憲法を持つ私たちの国がこの発言の主でないことを、本当に残念に思う。

Russia Will Help Iraq Via Trade Not Troops
Sat Jul 24, 2004 10:45 AM ET
By Sonia Oxley
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia said on Saturday it had no intention of contributing troops to the U.S.-led force in Iraq, but was prepared to help by developing trade and easing debt burdens.
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov made the pledge to build on Moscow's longstanding links with Iraq after talks with his opposite number Hoshiyar Zebari.
It was the first visit to Moscow by a top official since the interim government took over formal control of public affairs last month from U.S.-led occupying forces.
Russia, Lavrov said, had no plans to dispatch forces to Iraq, nor had the issue arisen during the talks.
"Russia is prepared to support the restoration of sovereignty of Iraq in other ways, particularly through trade," he said, offering action within the Paris Club of state lenders to help Baghdad with its external debt.
"This contribution will be no less than the contribution of the participants in the multinational forces."
Russia, which opposed the U.S.-led invasion to topple Saddam Hussein without U.N. approval, had long been involved in Iraq's oil industry and is keen to move ahead with contracts, some dating from Saddam's term in office.
Local media had earlier quoted Zebari as saying he would ask Lavrov to contribute troops, but he denied this.
"I would like to clarify that I never made such a statement," he said. "Russia's position is well known."
Russian officials this week repeatedly denied reports, quoting a U.S. think tank, that the Kremlin had approved in principle plans to send forces to Baghdad.
Russia's interests in Iraq center on oil. Saddam canceled a $3.7 billion deal with oil major LUKOIL in 2002, accusing it of failing to meet its obligations to begin work. LUKOIL said its hands were tied by U.N. sanctions then in place.

LUKOIL says the deal is still valid and last month said it would produce its first oil from the West Qurna field next year.
Countries which opposed the war originally feared they might be shut out of lucrative contracts to rebuild Iraq. Zerabi said Iraq was working with Russia on the question of contracts.
Russian specialists, including engineers trying to keep electricity supplies running, withdrew from Iraq this year after workers were kidnapped and killed in a series of attacks.
Lavrov said they would return once security levels improved.
Russia has also called for an international conference on Iraq, similar to one called after the removal of the hardline Taliban authorities in Afghanistan.
Zebari said Baghdad was considering the Russian proposal.
"The door for holding them (talks) is still open," he said.

旧ソ連はあちこちに傀儡政権をつくってきたので、傀儡政権とのつきあい方をよく知っているのであろう。
