On the prospects of the world economy, the crisis in Greece and Ukraine – Vladimir Putin’s statement – the first channel

Russia ready to cooperate with all countries, including the Western, with the conclusions will be drawn from the fact that the economy is trying to use as an instrument of political struggle. This is only one of the statements of Vladimir Putin today in Ufa, at a press conference on the results of two international summits. The President asked about the global financial turmoil, of politics, including, of course, the Donbas – and it was not all themes.

Russia ready to cooperate with all countries, including the Western, with the will conclusions from the fact that the economy is trying to use as a tool of political struggle. This is only one of the statements of Vladimir Putin today in Ufa, at a press conference on the results of two international summits. The President asked about the global financial turmoil, of politics, including, of course, the Donbas – and it was not all themes.

What will Putin, now wanted to know hundreds of journalists. At the press conference was a lot of not only Russian but also foreign press. After all, the countries of the BRICS and the SCO – is almost half the world’s population.

Someone wanted to ask Putin about the global economy, someone worried problems of small regions. Those wishing to ask questions were many, but not so on time. The Russian President Ufa very tight schedule.

Anton Vernitsky, First Channel: “For several reasons, the BRICS countries are now experiencing some difficulties: political and economic – in Brazil, the economic – in Russia, falling stock markets China. As you can see a way out of this situation? How can get out of it? “

Putin:” With regard to economic difficulties, they are everywhere. If you pay attention to the forecasts of international financial institutions, these forecasts are formulated again downward. More recently (in my opinion, whether the IMF, or the World Bank) once again announced that the level of the global economy will decline. And what is happening in Europe, we are well aware. In the United States, too, the slowdown. In this sense, the BRICS countries are no exception, they just are in the trend, unfortunately, is experiencing the global economy. As for China, and the stock markets, we talked about it with the President of China. The Chinese leadership refers to this supremely calm, and I agree with the Chinese estimates, which lies in the fact that in the previous period, “bulls” played too confident, perhaps even over-confident, there was a certain correction downward. But recent data – again a small rise, so there is nothing special. I believe that China has been and will remain the locomotive of the world economy. I do not want to characterize what is happening in Russia. I have said this repeatedly: yes, there is a problem, yes, there is a drop in growth, including GDP. But at the same time, we have maintained our reserves, we have provided an acceptable rate of national currency, we have a trade surplus, the fundamentals of our economy is good reason to believe that we, too, shall overcome these difficulties “.

For the six years that there BRICS, it is transformed from a site where lead dialogue, coordination structure. Established by their bank, formed a pool of foreign exchange reserves. Journalists interested in, you will not change the status of association.

Question: “How do you see the future of BRICS? Be turned into a union – in fact, interest club – a full-fledged international organization? “

Putin:” You know, the BRICS began to take shape in 2005, when the fields “Group of Eight” in St. Petersburg, we have proposed gather the leaders of China and India. This proposal was accepted, we met, and then after some time has come specifically to this format then joined Brazil, and later South Africa. All this develops naturally, no one nowhere drives. This is an extremely important thing. Why is that? Because all participants in this process feel the objective need for cooperation. Especially it concerns the need for more democratic principles of the construction of the world economy “.

One of the guests of the summit was the Iranian leader. He flew to Ufa from Vienna, where negotiations about a possible lifting sanctions against his country. Attend them and Sergei Lavrov. However, Russian Foreign Minister left Austria to take part in the BRICS and the SCO.

Putin: “Almost all the foreign ministers are now in Vienna, but our minister, but he yesterday assured us we reliably monitor the progress of the negotiation process. And if we talk quite seriously, we really know what’s going on, our Minister in contact with its partners and colleagues in Vienna. Of course, we presume that Iran will be lifted all sanctions. The question is, at what time, what sanctions, and so on. We stand today for the full-scale removal, and as quickly as possible, because it is generally believed that this is not the way to resolve international issues and problems. But each of the participants in these negotiations, a point of view. There must be a compromise. In my opinion, it will be found in the near future “.

In the case of the lifting of sanctions, Iran will start selling oil. According to the Russian president on the market a new player is not particularly affected.

More one country, which says – Greece, with its profound crisis and a huge debt of billions of euros. Moscow has the money to help Athens, said Putin. But the prospect of such a move is unlikely.

Natalia Stanislavets, RIA Novosti “Have you met with Mr. Tsipras in St. Petersburg, talked to him on the phone after the referendum. Asked whether Russia Athens to give them financial support? Is it Russia promised? “

Putin:” Mr. Tsipras do not contact us for any help. It is generally understood that the figures because there are large. We know what is at stake, decisions should be made a fundamental nature. The issue is not about money. The question the principles of the economy and in the principles of the solution of these problems with its partners in the near future. I have already spoken publicly on this matter: of course, the Greeks can still shift, but if there were irregularities in their activities, where the European Commission? Why not make adjustments in the economic activity of previous governments of Greece? Why issue such bonuses and loans, allowed to keep a low profile on taxation in certain sectors of the economy, why such large subsidies were for the islands? And so on. Where were they before? So there is something to talk about, and the Greek government have something to argue “.

The leaders of the BRICS and the SCO on the key themes of the global agenda look the same. The declarations of Ufa, where a separate point of the Ukrainian crisis. Together – in the south East can only negotiate peacefully.

Xenia Golovanov, “Interfax”: “The current phase of the situation in Ukraine. Do not you think that the settlement is stalling? “

Putin:” I really think that to a certain extent the settlement stalled due to the fact that our partners in Kiev there is no desire to negotiate directly with the Donbas – from Lugansk and Donetsk. But it looks a bit strange, because that’s what partners from Kiev insisted that in Minsk there were the first person in Donetsk and Luhansk unrecognized republics that they have signed these documents. They came and signed up, announced that they are ready to perform, but now we see that they do not want to communicate directly. Why then we asked them to come and sign the document? It is at least strange. We proceed from the fact that it is still a tactical move. I’m more inclined to believe that we have a better chance to succeed than to fail. We all agree on one thing – that there is no other solution to the problem of Ukrainian except the possibility to solve it peacefully and in full, unconditional fulfillment of the agreements reached in Minsk “.

One of the journalists suggested that Putin look into the future and imagine what will happen with the BRICS SCO ten years. Some Russian president shared his thoughts: for example, they need their own payment system for the independence and security.

Putin: “We need the full volume to launch its “plastic” this year, make it available to our citizens. We need to develop it, not only in Russia but also abroad display, as it is done gradually, in some countries, such as Japan and China. I am confident that this will move, one hundred percent. We have a large market. We Visa and MasterCard service 97% of customers within Russia. This is a normal situation? No. But we make it possible for our partners based on the fact that the economy is like politics. And it turned out – no, it is immersed in it, moreover, is used as an instrument of political struggle. Therefore, we will have to make conclusions for themselves. But that does not mean I have many times talked about this, that we need to protect ourselves some wall. It will not happen. We will use all the tools of cooperation with all – and with the United States and European countries, and Asian. But, of course, we will actively develop relations, including and especially those who want to cooperate with us “.

In a series of questions was official and one everyday. Correspondents remembered as the Prime Minister of India at the meeting of Russian President promised that he would do yoga.

Putin: “Yoga in fact involves the development of the physical to the spiritual. We assume that until I started with the spiritual. But in this I still need a lot of work “.

The completion of the final press conference did not mean the end of his three-day marathon of Ufa. The schedule Vladimir Putin were still working meetings. Here the Russian leader spent nearly half a dozen bilateral negotiations, not counting the official summit events.
