Posted by Leah McBride Mensching on September 9, 2010 at 2:14 PM
Seventeen years after closing down publication in the Middle East, The Moscow News will once again publish an Arabic edition, called Anbaa Mosku, in the United Arab Emirates, the Gulf News reported today.
About 40,000 copies of the newspaper are expected to be distributed bi-monthly in the UAE beginning October 3. Before its UAE launch, Anbaa Mosku was relaunched in 15 Arab countries and in Israel as a monthly publication in November 2009, according to Russian state news agency RIA Novosti, which publishes the newspaper. In the Arab world outside the UAE, it has a circulation of 150,000.

The Arabic version of Anbaa Mosku is not an Arabic-language copy of its Russian counterpart, said Svetlana Mironyuk, editor-in-chief of RIA Novosti "It is the Arabic language edition of the Moscow News. It is not available in Russian." She added that a Dubai-based bureau is planned for the future.
Anbaa Mosku was shut down following the collapse of the former Soviet Union. A RIA Novosti report stated that the relaunch of the newspaper "was met with widespread support both in Russia and in the Arab world which hope that it will contribute to the maintenance of strong political and economic ties of the old partners for many years to come," according to the Gulf News.
