SUBJECT: MOSCOW ON IRAQI GOVERNMENT FORMATION
REF: STATE 81632
MFA Spokesman Mikhail Kamynin on May 22 characterized Iraqi
government formation as an "important event" and pledged
"close cooperation" and "necessary assistance" to the new
government in the interest of stabilizing the country.
Kamynin expressed hope that PM al-Maliki would follow a path
of national consensus and dialogue among all political and
ethno-confessional groups, including those "who so far are
not involved in the process of state-building." Kamynin
reiterated GOR support for a national reconciliation
conference in Baghdad under the aegis of the Arab League.
The full text of Kamynin's press release in English is
