Moscow seeks Western assistance in solving its economic problems and is unlikely to jeopardize this to make marginal gains in the Middle East Yevgeny Primakov, then Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev's chief Middle East adviser, noted on September 4, 1991, that "Middle East issues have retreated and do not now have a place in our current thinking" (Interview with London-based Arab newspaper, Al-Sharq Al-Awsat, cited in Foreign Broadcast Information Service, Daily Report Near East and South Asia, September 6, 1991, p.1)
