The Arabian monarchy of the Gulf are reoriented with the USA on Russia


In oil monarchy of Persian gulf fear of grows that proceeding instability in region will negatively affect well-being of oil sheikhs and their citizens.
So, in December at annual summit Advice of cooperation of the Arabian states of Persian gulf (GCC) эмир Qatar has warned chapters of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrein, the Incorporated Arab Emirates and Oman about " serious threat " safety and to growth of economy. Meant not only Iran with his aspiration to play the first role in region - first of all the question was a failure of Washington in business of stabilization of position in Iraq.

Having tested bitter disappointment in a middle East policy of the president the USA Bush, states GCC, former decades the closest allies of Washington, under the direction of Saudi Arabia search for new strategy and new allies.

Thus governors - сунниты count, on the one hand, on dialogue with the neighbour frightening them, шиитским Iran, and with another - on new friends, first of all to Russia, German newspaper Frankfurter Rundschau (translation Инопресса.ру) writes.

For the first time the Iranian president has had an opportunity to state the strategic representations at summit GCC. The offer of president Ahmadinezhada on the conclusion with the states of Persian gulf of the pact about guarantees of safety, " basing on validity and excluding foreign intervention ", has been met politely.

However mistrust concerning Iranian великодержавности sits deeply, let even, according to the recent information of the American special services, Teheran has stopped the military nuclear program in 2003. Now Saudi Arabia also has undertaken the nuclear program.

From the moment of the basis of kingdom the ruling dynasty саудитов saw in the USA the major the power - guarantor of the political existence. But, in particular after started by the United States in 2003 of war in Iraq, the crack concerning allies grows. The Saudi masters should reckon with the growing exasperation of the Arabian world caused by the American policy.

Суннитского king Abdallu more all is revolted with powerful support of the proIranian prime-minister - шиита Maliki by Washington in Iraq. It also excites, that Americans can agree with Teheran upon the pact which guarantees significant influence to the Islamic state of Entre Rios.

On this background the intensive diplomatic relations of Er Riad and Moscow, having a place recently, get the big value. Observers already speak about future to " a new era " concerning Russia not only with Saudi Arabia, but also with all states GCC.

The Saudi Minister of Defence prince the Sultan during recent visit to Moscow has actually submitted a signal that the termination of military and strategic dependence of kingdom from the USA is possible. Till now саудиты as " guards of the most sacred sources of an islam " denied Russia the same as once communistic Soviet Union.

However now the sultan, one of the most consecutive friends the USA in the royal house, the first among high representatives of the Saudi mode has appealed to new cooperation between Moscow and Er Riad to stop " mad and bloody " massacre in Iraq.

Simultaneously the sultan has emphasized: " we are pleased with a policy of Russia " which today again is widely perceived in region as " the friend to arabs ". " Er Riad sends clear signals to the West that Russia is potentially desired partner in the field of safety ", - is spoken in the analysis of the Research center of Persian gulf in Dubai.

" Абдалла any more does not consider the USA as the unique political and military force dominating over Persian gulf. The Russian middle East policy is close to reaching the biggest success for all postSoviet period ", - it is marked in the document.

The question is, first of all, sale of arms for the sum of some billions dollars as the USA which together with Europe are traditional suppliers of arms to Saudi Arabia constantly feeling it shortage, some months hesitate with the answer to multi-billion inquiry of Er Riad.

As opposed to Washington the Kremlin is ready to deliver kingdom the weapon - tanks T-90, fighting and transport helicopters, БМП, rocket systems - and without any conditions.

If Er Riad will stop to buy the weapon from Washington other states GCC which since some time even more often dart a glance at Moscow, too will follow to his example - and by that will leave more and more from under dependence of the American superstate.
