Russian move to prevent fresh Gulf crisis

Kuwaitis rush to volunteer for military service
KUWAIT. Oct 12: Thousands of Kuwaitis and expatriates have rushed to volunteer for military service to counter any new Iraqi invasion, the official Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) said on Tuesday, reports Reuter.
It quoted the army as saying more than 8.000 volunteers had signed up since recruitment centres were opened on Saturday.
Kuwait state television showed dozens of civilians queuing up to volunteer at one centre.
Giant neighbour Iraq, which massed some 80.000 troops along Kuwait's borders, launched a similar drive on Monday when it reported that about 10.000 had volunteered to serve in "Saddam commando1’ units, named after Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
The Iraqi build up raised fears in Kuwait of a new Iraqi invasion only four years after Baghdad's 1990'blitz into the emirate.
Iraq said on Tuesday it had withdrawn its troops from the Kuwaiti front and the United States acknowledged the Iraqis appeared to be retrpfit-ing.
AFP adds: Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Igor iVanov arrived in Baghdad yesterday for talks with Iraqi leaders aimed at preventing a new conflict in the Gulf.
Ivanov was accompanied by Viktor Possuvalyuk. President Boris Yeltsin's special envoy for the Middle East. They were
bringing proposals, for resolving the crisis sparked by Iraqi troops movements near the Kuwaiti border, a Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman said.
The two envoys were due to travel to Kuwait later.
Foreign Minister Andrei Kozyrev on Tuesday played down the threat of a new military clash on the Iraqi-Kuwaiti border.
Kozyrev said there was "no
reason'' to fear a conflict in the area and stated that Moscow had received assurances from Baghdad that Iraqi troops there would confine their Activities to "military manoeuvres.'' Itar-Tass said.
Foreign ministry spokesman Grigori Karassln said the two Russian envoys sought "to achieve step-by-step progress in stabilizing the situation in the region, including possible measures to soften
the regime' of United Nations sanctions on Iraq.
Kozyrev held out the possibility of lifting international sanctions against Iraq in response to possible "positive, appropriate steps by the Iraqi leadership."
Russia, China and France have suggested easing the crippling embargo imposed after Iraqi troops Invaded Kuwait in August 1990.
