Cheney to Peres: Russia supplies terrorist arms By Haaretz Correspondent and Agencies , By Barak Ravid U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney told President Shimon Peres yesterday that Russia is selling arms to Syria and Iran with the clear knowledge that they are being channeled to Hezbollah and terror groups in Iraq. After meeting Peres on the sidelines of the Ambrosetti forum by Italy's Lake Como, the American vice president later reiterated these remarks in his address at the economic conference, saying that "Russian arms dealing in the Middle East has endangered the prospects for peace and freedom in the region." Advertisement Cheney added that the Russian leaders view democracy as a direct threat to their regime. Russia crossed a clear line when it invaded Georgia and attacked democracy and the rights of innocent civilians, Cheney said. Peres recounted to Cheney his recent talks with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on the day that Russia invaded Georgian soil. The president added that Israel is determined to fight terror in the most effective way, using advanced technology. He stressed that Israel and the moderate Arab states must collaborate on a joint intelligence arrangement - with the help of the U.S. and Europe - in order to be able to fight world terror, which centers around the Middle East. Peres also voiced his strong opposition to allowing Hamas participate in democratic elections in the Palestinian Authority, explaining that the course of action in which a group such as Hamas uses democratic tools to impose a military dictatorship and terror on an entire population is unacceptable.
