Adam Ereli Russia Quotations

We are confident that Russia's plans are not threatening and are consistent with its obligations, and I think are indicative of a new strategic relationship between the United States and Russia that is focused on reducing threats and increasing confidence.

To the extent that hearing it directly and forcefully from the Russians can serve that purpose, then that's all well and good.

As far as the situation in Iraq goes, I think the international community shares a common interest in helping Iraq to develop a stable and successful democracy. ... Russia has been supportive of this. And that's the approach we take with regard to all of our partners in supporting Iraq.

What we, the Russians and the EU-3 wants to see and what the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) wants to see is an Iranian cooperation. Does this statement by this one person constitute that? At this point, it's hard to say. We will have to see.

Obviously what we want to see, what the Russians want to see, I think what the EU-3 want to see, what the IAEA want to see, is Iranian cooperation. To the extent that they do that, it's a good thing. Does this statement by this one person constitute that? At this point, it's just hard to say. We'll have to see.

The point we're making is, this is a report we take seriously and we are asking the Russians to look into it.

What we want to see, what the Russians want to see, what the EU-3 wants to see and what the IAEA wants to see is an Iranian cooperation. Does this statement by this one person constitute that? At this point, it's hard to say. We will have to see.

Undersecretary Burns, I think, made clear to the Russians our broad concerns over Iranian behavior and this sale in particular.

This is not the way we are pushing this relationship, ... The way we deal with Russia is the way we deal with an important partner.
