Russia warns against enforced change of power in Cote d'Ivoire
Russia was uncertain that the arrival of the new authorities in Cote d'Ivoire would bring stability to this African country, Russia's Foreign Ministry said on Thursday. "The enforced change of power may unlikely mean arrival of democracy, peace and stability in Cote d'Ivoire," the Foreign Ministry's spokesman Alexander Lukashevich was quoted by Interfax news agency as saying. The diplomat reminded that Moscow has warned about hard humanitarian consequences of the attempts to resolve the crisis in Cote d'Ivoire by force.
