Baghdad - Mawazine News
British documents revealed that Russian leader Vladimir Putin gave Britain promises regarding arming Iran, dealing with Iraq and North Korea, and accepting the expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization "NATO", then he broke all his promises.
The documents, which were recently released, indicate that despite Putin's failure to keep his promises, the administration of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair tried to persuade the United States to bet on him to achieve reform in Russia and improve relations with the West with it.
While George W. Bush was preparing to enter the White House, in his first term in January 2001, Blair sent his foreign affairs adviser, John Sawyers, to the United States to prepare for his visit to Washington.
Sawiris asked the foreign, defense and cabinet ministries to share with him, in writing, the information they had and their views on issues most important to Britain's interests and relations with the United States.
Among the most important of these issues were "how to deal with Russia" and "the future of NATO, including its expansion".
After reviewing the minutes of the five summits, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed, in its report to Sawiris, that Putin had said something to Blair that "was denied by the subsequent actions of Russian officials."
In the report, Owen Jenkins, head of the Foreign Office's Russia department, said Putin "made the Prime Minister (Blair) a number of pledges during their five meetings."
On Russian-Iranian relations, he added that Putin "confessed to the prime minister that Russia has supplied Iran with a program of weapons of mass destruction, but he claimed to realize that this harmed Russia's interests," and "promised to limit (this) trade very strictly."
Putin's promises, according to the report, included limiting the supply of weapons to the Iranians in general.
"In Moscow, he (Putin) reassured the prime minister that Russia has no interest in pumping weapons to Iran in large quantities," he said.
At this time, the issue of nuclear proliferation was preoccupying major countries, including Britain, which launched a campaign to put pressure on Iran with widespread Western reports that it had a program to manufacture nuclear weapons.
In the context of its endeavors, in February 1999, London initiated a dialogue with the government of reformist Iranian President Mohammad Khatami on nuclear non-proliferation. In January 2000, a joint declaration was issued, at the end of the visit of Kamal Kharazi, the Iranian foreign minister, to London, in which the two countries committed themselves to the principles of non-proliferation of nuclear weapons.
"In Okinawa (Japan), he (Putin) said his visit to North Korea had changed his perspective on nuclear proliferation, and that he should have paid more attention to proliferation problems and imposed stricter restrictions on them on businesses and institutions involved in ( dealing) with places like Iran and North Korea.
However, the report said that in practice, "Russian nuclear and missile assistance to Iran remains a source of serious concern. Since Russia implemented new measures to limit exports in 1998, this concern has decreased, but it still exists, mainly due to economic considerations."
The report criticized the "putting aside the Russians" of the Russian-American understandings regarding "limiting the transfer of weapons and sensitive technology to Iran."
He said that the Russians "confirmed their right to sell weapons to whoever they want. However, they continued to insist that all sales of this kind will be in accordance with Russian law and export restrictions, and Russia's international obligations." Ended 29 / H
