President Vladimir Putin granted an interview to Bulgarian National Television and Russian newspaper Trud

February 28, 2003

Russia’s position on Iraq is supported by the majority of the United Nations’ member states, the majority of the UN Security Council permanent and non-permanent members, President Vladimir Putin said in an interview with Bulgarian journalists.

War is an extreme measure, always fraught with adverse consequences and a terrorist threat for the region. It would do anything but consolidate the international anti-terrorist coalition. Mr Putin expressed hope that all the parties would observe the basic principles of international law, which would help to arrive at a solution acceptable for all.
