Russia wants to take CFE out of deadlock.

VIENNA, July 1 (Itar-Tass) -- Russia wants to take the issue of
conventional forces in Europe (CFE) out of the deadlock and called to
avoid politicizing the security issue.
"The main task today is to restore control over the armaments in
Europe. It is necessary to take effort and bring the consultations to
design a new framework for negotiations on conventional forces out of the
deadlock," Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko told Tass on
Thursday. He heads the Russian delegation at the OSCE security conference.
"We again noted that attempts to link political problems unrelated to
the interests of maintaining military security and stability in Europe
with conventional forces are inadmissible," he said.
"No vacuum in the sphere of arms control is admissible. Otherwise OSCE
member-states will resort to unilateral approaches rather than collective
actions in security issues," he stressed.
"We call to actualize the Vienna document (on confidence and
security-building measures) in compliance with the new situation in the
sphere of security and modern trends in military buildup. The main thing
is to refrain from temptation and not to use the instruments and
approaches that are characteristic of the Cold War period. Modernization
shall be pinpointed and aimed at reflecting in the Vienna document a new
partnership character of relations between countries," Grushko said.
