Corruption has its own motivations, and one has to thoroughly study that phenomenon and eliminate the foundations that allow corruption to exist.

I believe politicians should always remain realistic.

It is absolutely impossible to settle the debts to pensioners, teachers, and others. The country hasn't got enough money to do so.

But the Americans have no extra money. They have their own problems. They can provide financial assistance for two, three, four, or six months at most.

I think if someone else other than Reagan, someone less of a hardliner, had been in power then the breakthrough in ending the Cold War would not have happened.

I am not responsible for the actions of Saakashvili and even for those of Gamsakhurdia.

Prospects of normalizing our relations with Russia look good.
