The Cold War?!
Medvedev stated that the forecasts of the Russian leader Vladimir Putin voiced them nine years ago at a conference in Munich, not that come true, the situation has become even more dramatic, there was a pullback to the times of the “cold war”.
It is reported that before the trip met with the President of the Russian Federation. “We talked about his performance here, in Munich, in 2007. He said that the ideological stereotypes, double standards in international relations do not help to reduce tensions in international relations, but only strengthen it, and the world community, there are fewer opportunities for adoption important political decisions, “- said Medvedev.

Russian-NATO relations have sunk to the days of a new “cold war”, NATO’s political line toward Moscow is hostile and closed, Medvedev said from the podium of the Munich conference.
“Almost every day we announce the most terrible threat that NATO as a whole, separately for Europe, America and other countries Read the scary movies that Russian begin a nuclear war I sometimes think.. we are in 2016 today or in 1962? ” – He added
In the current circumstances, the Russian Prime Minister has called an important dialogue on Euro-Atlantic security architecture.. “I consider it abnormal that in many areas it is almost completely broke,” – Prime Minister added.

“Of course, the Minsk agreement must comply with all the parties. But, above all, their implementation depends, in our view from the Kiev authorities. Why them? not because we are trying to move somewhere arrow, but because this period has come. Despite progress in some areas (for the withdrawal of heavy weapons by the presence of the OSCE mission, other issues) The situation remains fragile, “- he said.Speaking of that most worried about Russia, Medvedev said that the south-east of Ukraine and is not set to “complete silence” on the line of contact occur regularly shelling and humanitarian situation in the youthful-east of the country remains dire : the economy degrades, the territory is still blocked, tens of thousands of people are on the brink of survival
“I want to say bluntly. we have shown, and will be further reasonable flexibility in the execution of the Minsk agreements, where it does not contradict their essentially But we can not do that, what we do not have powers, namely -… to perform for the Kiev authorities of their political and legal commitments This is a direct competence of the President, government and Parliament of Ukraine Unfortunately, at the moment there is no will, . nor the desire to do it today, in my opinion, it becomes obvious to everyone, “-. it
The Syrian settlement
Another important theme of the speech was the Russian prime minister said Syria. He stressed the need to maintain a unified Syrian state, to prevent its collapse on confessional principle, as the consequences of such a scenario would be catastrophic for the entire Middle East.

“We are in this cooperation are ready. I expect that within the framework of the dialogue, which took place here, we will have positive developments in terms of the cease-fire, and in the sense of solving the humanitarian problem “, – he said
The terrorism as a new kind of war
Speaking about the threat of terrorism, Medvedev said that he had already global. And now, according to him, if not to normalize the situation in Syria and other hot spots, “terrorism will be a new kind of war that will lead the world”.
“And it’s not even just a kind of war, and on essentially a way to resolve ethnic and religious conflicts, the method of quasi-public management “, – he said
That being said the Russian Prime Minister, the problem of civilization, no division into outer and supposedly moderate, without nuances and tones, as the extremists manage to spread their influence. not only in the Middle East, but also in the whole of Central Asia. In this context, he once again expressed the need for cooperation and integration, noting that the group “Islamic state” (IG, banned in Russia) must be “very grateful” the heads of a number of Western countries, Curling cooperation along the lines of the security services.
“Even the interaction between special services was minimized It’s funny -. Such as we do not want to work with you I think Daishev (Arabic IG name is prohibited in Russia) should be very grateful to my colleagues -. The heads of a number of Western countries, which turned a cooperation “, – Medvedev said

Threats to European identity
In the context of the spread of terrorism.. , Middle East conflicts and uncontrolled migration Medvedev pointed to the danger of the destruction of a single economic space and the Schengen area.

From our side we are ready to assist in addressing migration issues. This includes taking part in the normalization of the situation in the conflict regions, where the main flow refugees primarily in Syria. “- said Medvedev
The reason for such disastrous consequences, according to him, are, and unsuccessful attempts to transplant the model,.” Western “democracies samples completely unprepared for them on Wednesday that” led to the destruction of entire nations, have turned vast areas into zones of military operations “.
” I remember how my colleagues were happy a period of so-called “Arab spring”, well, it’s just in front of me it all happened . Well, where is she, a modern democracy in these countries, Probably, it took the form of LIH? “- asked the Russian prime minister to present
in order to avoid a third world
Medvedev said that. today in relation to the Western world, Russia is actively used the doctrine of deterrence. The danger of such approaches, he said, is that in twenty years the problem will not be solved, and the world will discuss the same topics, if at all, it will have such an opportunity.

The Russian prime minister said that the modern European security architecture was built on the ruins of World War II and allowed to live more than 70 years without major conflicts
.” Yes, today this system has some problems and glitches. But do we need yet another, third world shake, to see how today need cooperation, not confrontation, “- he said
Medvedev stressed that today the external threats and challenges should be the basis for a fair association. Russia and the West. He recalled that on the threshold of a nuclear apocalypse in the 1960s, two opposing sides in time were able to understand that there is no confrontation of political systems is not worth the life of people.
“I believe that today we are all wiser and and more experienced, and more responsible, and we do not share such ideological phantoms and stereotypes. And the challenges that threaten all of us, are not a basis for conflict and for our association, for the fair and equitable association, which will give us a peaceful life for at least another 70 years “, – he concluded
