Soviets Set Ethnic Talks

From Reuters

The Soviet Union announced today that a long-awaited meeting of the ruling Communist Party’s Central Committee aimed at addressing the country’s growing nationality problems will take place late next month. Foreign Ministry spokesman Gennady I. Gerasimov made clear that the plenary session would seek to develop a broad political strategy on an issue which political analysts say threatens to derail President Mikhail S. Gorbachev’s perestroika reform program.
