Moscow Urges Mideast WMD-Free Zone Conference

MOSCOW, May 4 (RIA Novosti) - Moscow believes there is a pressing need to hold an international conference on a nuclear-free zone in the Middle East before the end of the current year, the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Saturday.

A meeting of the Preparatory Committee for Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review was held in Geneva from April 22 through May 3, attended by representatives of 106 signatory states and over 60 NGOs.

The meeting expressed its “consensus-based position that all challenges to the nonproliferation regime should be resolved solely on the basis of NPT provisions,” the ministry said in a statement posted on its website.
