The Kremlin said that the timing of the Russian-Arab summit depends on the situation in the Middle East.
The timing of the first Russian-Arab summit will depend on the development of the situation in the Middle East, but it remains on the agenda, said Russian Assistant President Yuri Ushkov. "You see what the current situation is in the Middle East, it simply does not allow this summit to take place in the near future, I believe," Ushkov told reporters. "It (the timing of the holding - IF) depends on many circumstances, including how the American-Iranian conflict will develop or whether there will be a mutual understanding, or what will happen.
