Using terrorism or jihadists or extremists for any political agenda is immoral.

Sometimes you may kill tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands with very primitive armaments.

We have agreements with many countries including Iran, including Russia, including other countries that are about different things including armament. It's cooperation like any cooperation between any two countries, which is normal. It's not related to the crisis.

I will tell [Barack Obama] very simply : present what you have as evidence to the public, be transparent.

In the end a lie is a lie.

John Kerry presented his confidence and his convictions. It's not about confidence, it's about evidence. The Russians have completely opposite evidence that the missiles were thrown from an area where the rebels control. This reminds me - what Kerry said - about the big lie that Collin Powell said in front of the world on satellites about the WMD in Iraq before going to war. He said "this is our evidence."

This is reality. If [the American officials] want to believe, that's good, that will help them understand the region and be more successful in their policies.
