Russia will take all effort to promote the formation of the Palestinian state. Russian Foreign Minister wrote this in connection with Yasser Arafat's death in the book of condolences in the Palestinian embassy in Moscow. "Yasser Arafat devoted his life to the creation of the Palestinian state equal to other countries in the region and the world. As an international intermediary and permanent member of the UN Security Council, Russia will take all effort to accomplish this goal," Mr. Lavrov wrote. "This will be the best way to commemorate Yasser Arafat and his best monument," the Russian Foreign Minister believes. "We are mourning together with Palestinians," he wrote. State Duma Speaker Boris Gryzlov and Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Saltanov will represent Russia at the funeral in Cairo. Head of the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, former Russian Prime Minister and well-known Orientalist Yevgeny Primakov who used to meet Yasser Arafat is expected to attend the ceremony, the Palestinian embassy in Moscow told RIA Novosti on Thursday. On Friday Yasser Arafat's body will be taken to Cairo. The funeral will take place at 12.00 Moscow time
