Yeltsin turns his attention to sign deal with NATO
MOSCOW. May 13: President Boris Yeltsin boosted by a treaty aimed at formally ending the bloody war in Chechnya, turns his attention today to an elusive long-term pact with Russian’s Cold War foe NATO, reports Reuter.
As he prepared for a new round of talks with NATO Secretary General Javier Solana. Yeltsin began a round of telephone diplomacy with Western leaders by calling French President Jacques Chirac.
Chirac hopes to host the signing of a treaty in Paris on May 27. Officials say it may give Russia security guarantees, such as assurances that the West will not advance nuclear arms into new member states, and a say in NATO decisionmaking.
But both Moscow, bitterly opposed to NATO s plans to admit former Soviet satellites in eastern Europe, and NATO, adamant it will not appease Russia to the detriment of new members like Poland, have said they cannot be certain of meeting that deadline.
Solana is due to hold new negotiations with Russian Foreign Minister Yevegeny Primakov this evening. As in the past, neither side plans to brief reporters and it seems unlikely there will be dramatic announcements. whatever progress is made.
Some Kremlin sources, as well as Western insiders, have said Yeltsin has made up his mind to sign a deal this month.
Analysts say that may prompt the Russian leader to gloss over differences to allow for a public show of diplomatic success.
The vaguely-worded peace treaty Yeltsin signed with Chechen President Aslan Maskhadov on Monday was seen as an example of the Kremlin leader s determination to end a flagging negotiating process with a document setting out common views but risking skirting over the nub of the dis pute.
Yeltsin said the accord consisted of only one point: A peace treaty has been signed. This is the gist of it."
As provided by the Kremlin, there were three points:
— That Russia and the breakaway Muslim region would never again resort to the violence that culminated in a 21-month war and tens of thousands of deaths up to August 1996.
—- That relations would follow "norms of International law."
Both leaders, speaking after the signing in the Kremlin, said the document marked the end of four centuries of conflict between Moscow and the North Caucasus people.
