QUESTION: Mr President, I have two questions. The first concerns NATO. Under what circumstances could Ukraine and Georgia join NATO?

My second question is under what conditions would Russia be willing to recognise Kosovo’s independence?
And, finally, do you think it possible that Khodorkovsky could be released during the new President’s term in office?


VLADIMIR PUTIN: Regarding NATO, the Chancellor and I said today that at a time when we no longer have confrontation between two rival systems, the endless expansion of a military and political bloc seems to us not only unnecessary but also harmful and counterproductive.

The impression is that attempts are being made to create an organisation that would replace the United Nations, but the international community in its entirety is hardly likely to agree to such a structure for our future international relations. I think the potential for conflict would be only set to grow. These are arguments of a philosophical nature. You can agree or disagree.
But NATO is already overstepping its limits today. We have no objection to helping Afghanistan, but it is another matter when it is NATO that is providing the assistance. This is a matter beyond the bounds of North Atlantic, as you are well aware.
As for the question of Georgia and Ukraine, Russia always comes up when the problem of democracy is discussed, but you either have democracy or you don’t. You cannot be a bit pregnant. The same goes for international relations.

If the overwhelming majority of the Ukrainian public does not want their country to join NATO, but their country is being drawn in nonetheless, we cannot consider this to be a democratic approach to international relations. Ultimately, each country decides for itself how best to ensure its security, and we will most certainly accept whatever the Ukrainian and Georgian peoples decide, but this has to be the decision of the people and not the political elite.

As for Kosovo and whether there is a scenario by which we could agree to Kosovo’s independence, yes, such an option exists, but it lies exclusively within the bounds of international law. There is no need to be a great expert to understand that recognising the independence of one of the territories that make up a sovereign state can only be done through a process of negotiation and with the agreement of all parties involved. If such a compromise were reached, we would of course agree with it.

Now, coming to the question of people sentenced in previous years for crimes such as corruption or crimes against the person, and you mentioned one such case, the decision to grant an amnesty is one of the powers of the head of state – the President of the Russian Federation.


QUESTION: Vladimir Vladimirovich, you just said that as NATO expands and takes in new members, the potential for conflict within the organisation will increase…
VLADIMIR PUTIN: No, I said the potential for conflict in the world.

And here's what Ron Paul says about it:

Quote:
"More than 50 years ago the North Atlantic Treaty Organization was formed to defend Western Europe and the United States against attack from the communist nations of Eastern Europe. It was an alliance of sovereign nations bound together in common purpose – for mutual defense. The deterrence value of NATO helped to keep the peace throughout the Cold War. In short, NATO achieved its stated mission. With the fall of the Soviet system and the accompanying disappearance of the threat of attack, in 1989–1991, NATO’s reason to exist ceased. Unfortunately, as with most bureaucracies, the end of NATO’s mission did not mean the end of NATO. Instead, heads of NATO member states gathered in 1999 desperately attempting to devise new missions for the outdated and adrift alliance. This is where NATO moved from being a defensive alliance respecting the sovereignty of its members to an offensive and interventionist organization, concerned now with "economic, social and political difficulties...ethnic and religious rivalries, territorial disputes, inadequate or failed efforts at reform, the abuse of human rights, and the dissolution of states," in the words of the Washington 1999 Summit."
