There can be no democracy without observing the law and everyone must observe it - that is the most basic and important thing that we all should remember.

No references to the need to fight terror can be an argument for restricting human rights.

Nobody and nothing will stop Russia on the road to strengthening democracy and ensuring human rights and freedoms.

Russia should be an effective and competitive state with a sustainable economy, developed social and political system flexible to changes domestically and globally.

I hope that there will be no particular need for us to attract external funding. It is worth noting that despite the fact the turnover is smaller now we are still maintaining a trade surplus.

It was at a certain stage (you might have forgotten, haven't you?) that the United States actively collaborated with Saddam when he was at war with Iran: weapons were supplied, diplomatic and political support was provided and so on. Then the US fell out with him for some reason and decided to do away with him.

I would like to deal with a person who is able to take responsible decisions and implement the agreements reached. The name [Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton] does not matter.
