Central Iran Desert Tour

At time of the withdrawal from East Europe, the NATO secretary general promised the USSR it could be confident that NATO would not expand over its current boundaries.

August 31, 2010 (Hamsayeh.Net) - Russia’s Prime Minister Vladimir Putin expressed certain level of anger at western countries’ repeated use of deceit and double standards contrary to Moscow’s good will and sincerity for resetting relations.  

Putin, in an interview with Kommersant daily, said Russia had sincere intentions to reset ties with the west following his speech at 2007 Munich Security Conference. He said Moscow continues to pursue the same constructive path despite unfair dealings by the west.

‘At time of the withdrawal from East Europe, the NATO secretary general promised the USSR it could be confident that NATO would not expand over its current boundaries,’ Putin said while adding, ‘And where is it? I asked them [NATO officials] about this. They have nothing to say. They deceived us in the rudest way.’ The Russian Prime Minister also said, ‘we had just come to terms that there would be no missiles [NATO missile defense systems] in Poland...but it was suddenly announced that the same [missile defense system deployment] was planned for other European countries.’ 

Putin talked about another instance of exercising extra-territorial jurisprudence by the United States that had gone out of its way in dealing with Russia. He said, ‘His [Yaroshenko's] lawyer set out the issue precisely: A Russian resident in an African country was accused of drug trafficking. How do U. S. state interests come into the picture? No one can say exactly! They took a foreign resident and moved him out in secret. What is this?’ 

Furthermore, Putin criticized western rearming of Georgia in recent months saying, ‘I want to believe in reset [with the U.S.] very much. And I want it [reset] very much, I see that the intention of the current administration in the United States to improve relations with Russia is clearly traced. But there are other issues as well. For example, further rearmament of Georgia is underway. Why? That’s real; we see that. There would have been no aggression and blood if not for the rearmament of Georgia two years ago; we had been telling this to our partners, including to our European friends; and everyone kept silence; and how did it all end? It led up to the war. This rearmament continues today.’
