Putin Sends Primakov To Baghdad On Secret Mission

BAGHDAD - Former Russian Prime Minister Yevgeny Primakov, an Arab specialist with close ties to Iraq's President Saddam Hussein, has arrived in Baghdad, a diplomatic source told reporters on Sunday.

The source refused to reveal Primakov's mission. However in Moscow, sources in the presidential administration told Echo Moskvy radio station that he had left on Saturday on a confidential mission on the orders of President Vladimir Putin.

Russia has consistently said that the current Iraq crisis should be resolved through diplomacy.

In January Primakov warned that a US-led war against Iraq could divide the international community on the basis of religion and lead to internal rifts in many states.

Primakov was former Soviet President mikhail Gorbachev's envoy to the Persian Gulf during the crisis of 1990-91 after Iraqi troops overran Kuwait.
