?Iran voices serious concern over this situation and it is ready to use force for ensuring its own security, maybe on the territory of Iraq itself,? Mikheyev said. ?Stability and security in the Caspian region is one of Russia?s priorities. This is our border and one of our key regions. We can?t be indifferent.

MOSCOW, June 20 (KUNA) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with Prime Minister of Iraq Nouri Al-Maliki, the Press and Information Office of the Russian President said on Friday.
