...down to the deal brokered by Russia Wednesday ? and don?t think Moscow isn?t going to crow about it. ?Without any use of violence, any use of weapons, without a show of force, it was achieved through diplomatic means,? said Russian Foreign Minister Yevgeny Primakov after the emergency middle-of-the-night meeting between permanent Security Council members in Geneva...
