BRIDGE DIVIDES, YELTSIN URGES REFORMERS
Boris Yeltsin has urged Russian
reformers to unite before parliamentary
elections scheduled for December.
In an interview marking the anniversary
of the failed coup against Mikhail
Gorbachev in 1991, President Yeltsin
said reformers were too divided to
establish true democracy.
But he added that recent differences
between himself and the pro-reform camp
could be overcome.
Correspondents say Mr Yeltsin is aiming
to restore his image as the standard-
bearer of democratic reforms.
