/PanARMENIAN.Net/ RF never employed the term `Axis of Evil', RF Vice
Premier Sergei Ivanov said at the conference on `Economic crisis and
new threats to global security' organized within International
Economic Forum framework.
`RF never used the term `Axis of Evil'. We never labeled any country
as an outcast. We believe that double standards are inevitable, when
such terms are used, Ivanov said, adding that there are a lot of
unstable states in the world, but `it's not their fault, but rather
misfortune'.
`For over 5-6 year we addressed US administration, expressing our
concern that Saakashvili's regime will sooner or later turn into a
risky venture. We were assured that he wouldn't dare to take any risky
step. Yet every one of us saw the consequences. But who is to take
responsibility?'' Ivanov questioned.
He reminded that Saddam Hussein was sentenced to hanging on a charge
of barbaric murder of several dozens of Kurds.
`But who'll take responsibility for the death of hundreds of Russians
(during Russian-Georgian conflict?'
He offered to refrain from making white or black lists and proclaiming
any state a `democracy champion', Russian media reported.
