Presidents of Armenia, Belarus, Russia, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan meet in Moscow
17:34 08.05.2014
Russian President Vladimir Putin had a meeting with the President of
Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan,
President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon and President of Kyrgyzstan
Almazbek Atambayev.
`We are meeting today on the eve of Victory Day ` a very special
holiday for all of us. In the years of the Great Patriotic War, our
fathers and grandfathers together routed Nazism ` an evil and
merciless foe. They defended their homeland, maintained its
sovereignty and independence and freed Europe from slavery and
violence,' Vladimir Putin said at the meeting.
`We paid dearly for the victory of May 1945, and we will always
cherish the memory of those who gave their lives for their country's
freedom, we will cherish their heroism, unity and solidarity in the
struggle against a common enemy. All this remains a powerful factor
uniting all the peoples of the former USSR,' he said.
`We are all concerned about the developments in Ukraine. As you may
know, yesterday I had productive talks with President of the Swiss
Confederation and OSCE Chairperson-in-Office Didier Burkhalter. We
intend to act within the framework of these agreements and we have
established specific measures to activate OSCE's efforts to
de-escalate tensions in Ukraine. Primarily this needs to be done
through establishing a direct and equal dialogue between the current
authorities in Kiev and representatives of the southeastern regions of
Ukraine, Vladimir Putin said.
