KOKOSHIN CALLS FOR NEW ANTI-PROLIFERATION MECHANISM. Andrei
Kokoshin, the director of the Institute of Problems of
International Security at the Academy of Sciences and a Duma
member, told Interfax on 1 March that Russia must work with
other countries to develop a political mechanism for
preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
He said that threats by one country or another do not work
and that Moscow must take the lead in pushing for political
cooperation to make an anti-proliferation regime work. PG
