Qatar expels Russian diplomat
2004-03-24
DOHA: Qatar has declared the first secretary at the Russian embassy "persona non grata" and given him 24 hours to leave, a foreign ministry spokesman here announced Wednesday, amid a spat over the murder of a former Chechen president.
'First secretary Alexander Vitisov has been declared persona non grata, ... and asked to leave the country within 24 hours,' the spokesman told the official Qatar News Agency. Moscow had been notified Tuesday, he added. 'I was expecting something like this, but I've not received anything official yet," Moscow's ambassador Victor Koudryavtsev said. 'This person will leave if it is Qatar's decision.'
Next, Russia will expel a Qatar diplomat of equal rank, they will exchange turse notes for a while, and sooner or later a deal will be struck behind the scenes.

#6  GK, yeah I know, but AF blue was too dark. This was a easy change and shows up nicely I think.

#4  Benetton? Yes! It does have that flavor. Another F1 fans rears it's ugly head. :)

We got Jordan yelo already.
Now we have Benetton green.
I suggest changing the bizzare salmon color to Renault lite blue.

Thoughts Lucky?
