October 31, 2007 (LPAC)--As reported by Russian state radio this afternoon, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Moscow issued a statement saying that Russia will not join a US-led "Holy Alliance" to destroy the current regime in Iran.

Instead, spokesman Mikhael Kamynin said, Russia holds firm to the belief that the nuclear disagreements with that Southwest Asian country must be tackled collectively and exclusively through persuasion in diplomatic talks.
