Dear Alochok Turkman
I did have an idea that Russia was pro Bangladesh but I had no
knowledge of most of the facts that you have stated here. Thanks for
the update.
On a lighter note the Russians would have been able to control
Bangaldesh more easily than other countries... we just love to vote
for anyone who builds a few roads and a half baked clinic just before
election time :)

Military Aid. Iraq and Egypt were the biggest example of that.

waste.
