 MOSCOW, Nov. 15 (Xinhua) -- Moscow wanted to press the reset1 button on conventional arms reduction talks with NATO, new Russian envoy2 to the military bloc3 Alexander Grushko said Thursday.

"The main thing is to start these consultations4, not to call them talks, with no attempts to tie them to political problems," Grushko said.
The envoy urged a "new start" to the talks as the latest weapons had changed the landscape of the negotiations5, he told reporters.
Grushko said a better forum6 for such talks would be the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe rather than NATO itself. The ball was in the court of Russia's partners as Moscow was ready for the joint7 work, he said.
The Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe was signed in Paris in November 1990 by 22 states, 16 of them belonging to NATO and six to the pro-Soviet Warsaw Treaty Organization.
In July 2007, Russia suspended its participation8 in the Treaty, accusing NATO of beefing up its military capabilities9.
Apart from the conventional arms reduction talks, Grushko said lack of agreement between Moscow and NATO over the anti-missile defense10 issue would seriously harm their relations.
"If for political reasons that project fails, it means even in the sphere of common interests there are dividing lines, stereotypes11 preventing us from uniting resources. It will be a serious blow to Russia-NATO relations," he said.
