Georgia is ready to cooperate with Russia...

Two suicide bombings hit the Moscow metro on Monday, killing at least 39 people and injuring more than 80. The blasts ripped through the rush-hour Lubyanka and Park Kultury stations with an interval of about 40 minutes.

"On our part, all support in any investigation will be provided. If something points to Georgia, let them come and tell us. We are ready to cooperate," Yakobashvili said in a live interview with Rustavi-2 TV channel.

Yakobashvili"s announcement came after the chief of the Russian Security Council Nikolai Patrushev refused to rule out Georgian involvement in the attacks.

Long-standing tensions between Russia and the former Soviet republic of Georgia turned violent when the two fought a five-day war in early August 2008 over breakaway Georgian regions South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Russia recognized the two republics" independence shortly after the end of the war.

The ice situation is difficult there this year which may lead to changes in the programme of the expedition and its timeframe. The oceanologists hope to obtain data which must shed fresh light on the processes changing the global climate. Fifteen Russian scientists take part in the expedition. The American side, which provided it with the necessary equipment, will take part in processing the data obtained. It is worth noting that this expedition was funded mostly by Russians. The first Russian-American expedition to the Arctic took place in August-September 2003.
