“There is no doubt that Russia is part of the international coalition in the fight with terrorism”. This statement was made by Yabloko’s leader Grigory Yavlinsky after the end of a closed discussion in the State Duma on the problem of combatting international terrorism.

He also made it clear that this proceeds both from the position of the head of the state and the results

of today’s discussion in the [lower] chamber [of the Russian parliament]. According to Yavlinsky, the deputies had virtually no objection to this view, asindicated by the corresponding resolution of the State Duma prepared by the International Committee of the Duma. Yavlinsky stated that Yabloko would insist on the immediate allocation of additional funds within the framework of the

budget for the current year to reinforce Russia’s borders, increase security for nuclear power stations and air flight safety.

Yavlinsky stressed once again that imports of spent nuclear fuel into Russia are inadmissible. According to Yabloko’s leader, the discussion of international terrorism in the Duma in a closed regime was justified as “the positions of some deputies could be painful for some countries.”
