Iran can produce fuel for nuclear power stations independently; The
International Atomic Energy Agency report on Iran, sent to the UN
Security Council by IAEA Director Mohammed ElBaradei, does not contain
proof that Tehran’s nuclear program is aimed at building a nuclear
bomb. But it does confirm that Iran’s current technological level
enables it to produce fuel for nuclear power stations independently.

according to our sources in New York.

The meeting of new German Chancellor Angela Merkel with President
Putin in Tomsk confirmed that despite the defeat of Gerhard Schroeder
interests of the large German business regarding conquering of the
Russian space did not change. Inside sources state that until the end
of 2007 large stakes (possibly blocking ones) of Gazprom and Russian
Railways will be in the hands of the leading corporations of Germany.

Beginning of construction of the oil pipeline to Daqing that
practically coincided with this visit also was a long-awaited curtsey
of the Kremlin to Beijing.

The visit of President of Kyrgyzstan Kurmanbek Bakiev to Moscow
and mass unrest of Kyrgyz opposition including the pro-American one
demonstrate the slow but decisive ousting of the US from the Central
Asian region by the authorities of Beijing. The key issue is the
functioning of the American air base in Gansi that ensures not only
the necessary connection in the systems of control over the airspace
of the region but also uninterrupted drug traffic from Afghanistan,
report sources in Tashkent.

Signing of an agreement of Cuba, Venezuela and Bolivia on establishment
of the Bolivarian Initiative of Americas in Havana was organized
under unofficial aegis of China and became an “asymmetric response”
to the “pressure on the verge of foul” on the part of the US to
which Hu Jintao was exposed during his visit, reported sources in
Philadelphia. It was also possible that this loud action that deals a
serious blow on the prestige of Bush was coordinated with Saudi Arabia
and other leading countries of the Islamic world and Peru would become
the next candidate for joining to the Bolivarian Initiative. Candidate
from the leftist forces Olianta Umala has serious chances for victory
in Peru.

New technological difficulties in functioning of the oil pipeline
Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (due to increased density the oil mixture is
pumped badly in mountainous conditions), report sources in Yerevan,
may become a pretext for large-scale provocations against Armenia on
which Baku and Ankara are prepared to lay responsibility for possible
explosions at the pipeline and a new aggravation of the situation
in Nagorno-Karabakh.

According to our sources in Kiev, rumors about the upcoming
establishment of an “orange-blue” governmental coalition in Ukraine
are evidently exaggerated. A kind of turmoil is currently underway
in the “triangle of parties” that have won the elections and it will
most likely last until the beginning of June. Information weapons
are the main weapons in this “duel of nerves.” Now these weapons
are eagerly used both against the Kremlin system of Gazprom-Rosneft
(British scandals) and against the “team of Yushchenko” (disclosure
of Ukrainian beneficiaries of RosUkrEnergo). Thus, is Washington
pointing unambiguously once again at the need to form a “greater
orange coalition,” even with Yulia Timoshenko as prime minister,
because it considers the “queen of Independence Square” to be quite
manageable due to the compromising materials received from imprisoned
former Ukrainian Prime Minister Pavel Lazarenko.

Celebration of the “centennial anniversary of Russian parliamentarism”
in St. Petersburg looked a more than doubtful action both from the
historic and from the political points of view, especially given that
the overwhelming majority of Russian citizens disapprove of the Duma’s
performance. According to various polling agencies, about one-third
of respondents consider the Duma necessary and just over a quarter
of respondents trust it. Along with this, our experts note that
“the zero countdown point” was indicated clearly: 1906, which sets
constitutional monarchy as a political model desirable for the Kremlin.

The first “foreign visit” of Alexander Lukashenko after inauguration
to St. Petersburg was dedicated primarily by resolving of the
“gas problem” because a threefold increase of prices of Russian gas
actually “meant a soft economic blockade of Belarus on the side of
Russia.” The negotiations resulted in a promise of Putin “to consider
the forms of compensation” in exchange for a number of economic and
political preferences on the part of Minsk, reported sources in the
near-governmental circles.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
