The two sides can find a solution to this difficult problem, which seriously complicates the situation in the Persian Gulf, only through dialogue, Ivanov told Russia's ORT television. The minister said he is hopeful that "the resumption of the dialogue will be the key point in implementing respective U.N. Security Council resolutions" in order to find a political solution to the problem. "Any military action against Iraq, without the U.N. Security Council's consent, may only complicate the serious situation in the region -- both in the Persian Gulf and in the Middle East," he stressed. That is why Russia urges all countries, primarily the United States, to join its efforts to search for political settlement. "There are all possibilities for this," he added.
