Iraqi Ambassador to Moscow, Abbas Khalaf, declared last week that the Embassy had received around 3,500 requests, a number which has multiplied in the last few days, according to sources in the same Embassy. The requests come from young males, some with combat experience, who describe themselves as ÒvolunteersÓ who are willing to defend Iraq against the illegal armed aggression of the USA and the United Kingdom, two countries which continue to follow a belligerent stance on crisis management, wholly outside the generally accepted concepts of a New World Order based upon multilateralist approaches to problem solving, based upon the United Nations Organisation, a position championed by president PutinÕs Russian Federation. For those who present an adequate reason for travelling to Iraq, the Embassy provides a visa and transportation, free of charge. Timofei BYELO PRAVDA.Ru
