[-said]: Call at Tartus was held in order to replenish supplies and conduct planned maintenance, since that is the only Russian Navy's technical support base in the region

navy_en 19-JAN-12

[ explained]: The question about Russian carrier group was asked many times today. I assure that scheduled call had no relation to the situation at the Middle East. The carrier group will soon leave the Mediterranean Sea

navy_en 19-JAN-12

[-told]: On the whole, we have a positive impression from Russia-NATO military cooperation in 2011,

rt 19-JAN-12

[ said]: The Mediterranean deployment will be summarized upon return of ships to home bases

navy_en 19-JAN-12

[-said]: We must understand actions of each country. Today we have settled many issues we and NATO partners had

navy_en 19-JAN-12

[ added]: We believe the key objectives of cooperation between Russia and NATO is shaping of new confidence level in the area of military security, widening of contacts, and joint response on challenges proceeding from out of Europe. There is an array of such threats. These points are the most important elements of our further military cooperation

navy_en 19-JAN-12

[-noted]: Vigilant Skies and Bold Monarch were the most significant joint exercises in 2011,

rt 19-JAN-12

[-said]: The exercise will be conducted in order to obtain technical assessments of a possible missile defence system in Europe. Different options for interaction will be simulated, including elements of a sectoral approach we have proposed,

itartass_en 18-JAN-12

[-said]: We are not heard. The deployment of the system continues. We are forced to respond,

itartass_en 18-JAN-12

[-said]: NATO’s approaches to missile defence have an essential difference from other aspects of European security, such as conventional or nuclear arms control. As far as missile defence is concerned, they are trying to convince us that legal guarantees are not needed, that we should believe that this system is not directed against Russia and cooperation should be developed. At the same time, as far as conventional arms control is concerned, we are told that Russia should assume legal obligations supported by add

[-said]: The actions defined by the President’s statements are already being realized,

rt 07-DEC-11

[-said]: Missile defense creation in Europe can complicate our relations. The Russian President, Defense Minister and myself, as Chief of General Staff have held talks with our colleagues in most European countries. Many of them said that we should decide this issue with the US, but we are talking about Europe. Why are they separating Europe and Russia? Who needs that? We are ready to cooperate, to build missile defense together. Why are they not answering our requests? Someone must be benefitting from this,

rt 07-DEC-11

[-said]: The idea of creating the anti-missile defense in Europe could sharply aggravate our relations,

xinhuanet_en 07-DEC-11

[said:]: We keep a close watch on all threats to the security of Russia, both existing and hypothetical. We shall respond to changes, if need be. Our chief concern is that about the deployment of a US and NATO system in Europe. We shall adequately react to the related threats.

itartass_en 07-DEC-11

[-said]: A number of scientists in the United States and Europe have made practical calculations to prove that the air defense elements in Europe already influence the Russian nuclear potential,

itartass_en 07-DEC-11

[-said]: We hear nothing but empty promises to the effect the missile defense in Europe will be fraught with no risks for the strategic nuclear forces of Russia

itartass_en 07-DEC-11

[-stated]: Respectively, the radius of Russia’s air defense weapons would not extend beyond Russia’s territory. That proposal did not fit, either,

itartass_en 07-DEC-11

[-said]: We suggested a different option if NATO countries wish to defend themselves on their own, that second option would provide for the placement of attack air defense weapons in a way that would leave Russia outside their range,

itartass_en 07-DEC-11
