Admitted that karabakh is part of azerbaijan. So what should we do . Of course, other questions arise here, issues related to the humanitarian component and the mandate of our peacekeepers. This is true, but the mandate is still in effect, but the issues of a humanitarian nature of preventing some kind of ethnic pure, of course, have not gone away. I completely agree with this. I hope that the azerbaijani leadership, as they have always told us and are still telling us, is not interested in anyone. Uh, whatever there were ethnic cleansings, moreover, on the contrary, they are interested in this process happening me as and how good is it for me to have a justified claim and yerevan when it says that russia did not help, since it would not have helped the blockade of nagornokarabakh was also not lifted and humanitarian disasters are occurring there you understand, if armenia recognized that nagornokarabakh is all included in this part of azerbaijan. What are we talking about . The key uh, the key component of the whole problem, the status of karabakh was determined by itself armenia is the whole problem, such a personal question these days. Uh, nikolayevich, uh , talked to you because he talked to macron and talked to the president of iran. He sent me a letter. Expanded. We have no problems with him on vkontakte. We, uh, armenia, and the ministers examples, dont have any problems. No, we are in Constant Contact with him. And also a very important question returning to the events in ukraine, now there are a lot of rumors that supposedly there may be a new mobilization in the country in russia, what are you answer to those who are watching us now, listen, mobilization is taking place in ukraine. Theres one wave after another. I no longer know who they will mobilize now. We carried out partial mobilization, as is known. We called up 300,000 people, which means that now we have been volunteering for the last six to seven months. 270,000 people have already signed contracts for service in the armed forces and volunteer units. This is in addition to mobilization. This is partial, of course, over the last six to seven months people have been coming to military registration and enlistment offices and 2,070,000 people sign the contract, and moreover, this process continues with us every day, looking for 1,500 people coming to sign the contract. Daily. You know, the russian people are russian society. I dont know. To be honest, in some other country this is possible or not, which means that people consciously go into military service. In todays conditions, realizing that they will ultimately refuse at the front. Uh, and our men. Russian men, understanding what awaits them, understanding that they can live to give for their homeland and to be seriously wounded , they still do it consciously and voluntarily. Protecting the interests of the motherland you were just talking about elections. They went everywhere, including in the zaporizhzhya and kherkhon regions. What happened in the lugansk Donetsk Republic in difficult conditions, i am surprised at the courage. Uh, have the courage of the workers. Uh, the polling stations there, when the shelling began, and the enemy shelling tried to shell the polling stations. People went into the basements. The shelling was ending they got up and continued to work. And others came to the polling stations and stood in lines, despite the danger of their shelling, what am i talking about, why am i saying this, because our soldiers, the guys, are our heroes, who are howling there on the front line. They know that they have someone to protect. This is the key point, we protect our people. Well wrap it up soon, but i have a few more questions. Uh, september 1st appeared. Or rather , i went to school for a history textbook. I wont discuss it in detail, because we did an interview with your assistant vladimir medinsky, but there he also outlined his position in detail. Well, there is such a quote, you know, life is always more complicated than any ideological magazine newspaper cliches, a decade will pass and our time will become the subject of scrupulous study, learned historians of everyday life will wonder what steps the world leaders, including the leadership of our country, took correctly in a timely manner, and in what cases should we have acted, otherwise, if possible, i wanted to ask you to give, lets not wait. Uh, scientists from the future, which was correct from your point of view view is made of where mistakes were made during this time. Lets wait for them from the future; only the future generation can objectively evaluate them. Uh, what are we . For the country, you know, i remember what prince potemkin once wrote to catherine ii. When it came to the annexation of crimea, i cant reproduce this quote verbatim, but i can convey the meaning, but i wrote the next one will pass time. And future generations he will blame the fact that you could have annexed crimea and did not do it. And you will be ashamed. The interests of the state, first of all we we are guided precisely by these considerations. We put this at the forefront and we are definitely not ashamed of it. I have one question related to sports with the olympics coming to france next year before i ask. I want us all to applaud our Daniil Medvedev , who fought in the us open final in new york. And in general, the final turned out good; the russian and the serb were played by two orthodox people. Lets tell daniel thank you that he was able to do this. It really wasnt. I watched this broadcast. There was no flag. Did not have no mention of the fact that he is from russia and macron, when he said about the olympics, which will be held in france, as i said next year, he said that there will be neither russian nor belarusian flags there, nothing that you can say to our athletes, for whom the olympics are just the goal of their life. They are just waiting and they will have to miss it. I ll say this, of course, of course. We must first of all be guided by the interests of the athletes in this situation, and each of them who, for years and decades, some preparing for the most important competitions, we must make certain decisions for ourselves. Eh, but as for the Olympic Movement itself , i would say this. I think that todays leadership of the International Federations is the International Olympic committee itself. They distort the original idea of pierodoquin. Sports should be politics to me. It should not divide, but unite people. What has happened over the past 10 years is that the Olympic Movement has fallen into the trap of financial interests. There has been an unacceptable commercialization of International Sport and international Olympic Movement. And as a result of this commercialization, what im talking about, sponsors of advertising time, leading western companies, which ultimately create the economic and financial basis for the functioning of the International Olympic committee itself and the entire movement as a whole, and they, in turn, are directly dependent from political structures and governments of their countries. This whole chain has led to the fact that International Sport and the Olympic Movement itself is degrading; they are not fulfilling their most important functions, because the point is not only about setting records, but about uniting people. But the international Olympic Movement has lost this function , which is very unfortunate for the Olympic Movement itself. Because alternative movements will be created one way or another, nothing can be done about it. This is an objective process. So next year we will hold the friendship game. Eh, competitions within the framework of briggs are there, that is , those who are highly politicized will participate in this with pleasure. And this will be accordingly kill todays international structures. You also need to update them and update the frame. Hmm, thats why, uh, thats why its unfortunate that this is happening, but we, of course, will protect the interesting of our athletes. First and second , we will create alternative opportunities for them. Yes, including the Financial Results and achievements of the ministry of sports , he provided statistics. E. Right now, at the waifa or in front of the entrance, 55 athletes in olympic sports have changed their russian citizenship. They filmed it together on Something Else olympic over 100 m. You understand these people, i already said this at the beginning of this answer, that people have been moving towards some goal for decades, but now for political reasons. They cannot reach them. But you know, there is another component, uh, i dont know if its possible to say that, but nevertheless, some say that sport exists in competitions at the international level. It s like a sublimation of war, theres something in it, but uh, i dont blame anyone, but its just for athletes, especially highclass ones, when he goes to the podium, the anthem of his country sounds and rises. E flag the banner also has a certain meaning, but ultimately each person makes his own choice. And so the question thinks. We started with todays plenary. The session started with the fact that 10 years ago we declared that the far east and siberia and the arctic are a priority for us. I would still like to look a little forward, and also reflect on the image of the far east and siberia and, in general, on the image of russia through uh 10 years, lets say, yes, and now we see some kind of ring reinforcement on a new stage. Maybe it can be compared with the soviet union, when there were pioneers, now the movements of the first ones appeared in our time, the music of the soviet anthem has returned, and at vdnh we are now preparing an exhibition that will be in russia, this also reminds us of what was then, heres an image, for example, the future is drawn for ukraine. It is clear that this is membership in nato and membership in the west. The image of the future also looks like this. Well, how can i say, welcome . And here uh, what kind of stop image of the future for russia now they said that for some countries, uh, the image of the future is that they were members of some nato organizations there, uh, that means the european union, do you understand what you said . That is, they are for an image of the future associated not only with interaction with someone, but an image of the future associated with their complete dependence on someone in the field of defense. They need someone to cover them, otherwise they could not do otherwise in the economic sphere, they need money and appropriate funds to be sent, otherwise they will not rise, by the way, and the world. Its there on nobody wants ukraine, because if the war stops, it will be necessary to answer to the people for the economic and social component, but there is nothing to show. I doubt that, uh, uh, after the end of hostilities there, uh, hmm, there would be some kind of process of restoration of the ukrainian economy. There will be someone to feed there, i doubt it. This means our future depends on us. I recently met with young scientists in sarov, hmm. They also asked me, well, or we talked, at least about this. What do i want to say, or maybe in a different format . Well, the same idea was repeated. Scientists are busy with their research. So this means that industrialists work in the field of material production in agriculture in industry, cultural figures create images in order to uh support our values, which underlie the spiritual world of every person and every citizen of ours all this together will certainly give us results. All this must be realized in the fact that our country , including in the field of security and defense should be selfsufficient, but this does not mean isolating the country. This this means that we cooperate with our partners and friends. In integration with the vast majority of countries that represent the majority of the countrys population we will develop our own country and make it even stronger. Here. Eh, i already said industry, science and so on, but at the same time we must preserve the soul of russia, our multinational and multireligious people. This is the humanitarian component together with Science Education together with hmm real production will be the basis on which the country will move forward , feeling and understanding itself as a sovereign, fully independent state with development prospects, so it will be. Look, despite all the restrictions that were introduced in relation to russia , it was hoped that our Financial System would crumble and the economy would collapse, the enterprise would become collectives and would be left without work. After all, nothing happened, russia entered the top five in last years results the Worlds Largest economy in terms of buyer parity and the ability to continue to move along this path. Yes, i said, inflation there has increased a little, but it is within limits. Uh, the corresponding indicator is unemployment. E at a historical low of 3 . There would never have been 3 like this, if there was unemployment in the country, and in this regard, some other issues arise with uh, when we have resources, but they are also being resolved. Well, for the first time in, uh, in several years, our real incomes are growing. Yes, these are modest incomes, right. This means that disposable income and real wages are growing, all this together gives us every reason to believe that russia not only has such a reliable, good future. Yes, but it is guaranteed by this future effort, not all of ours. People want to say a conclusion, which sounds like an election program, but we cant talk about it until december. Thank you very much. We will conclude our uh Plenary Session. We talked for almost 3 hours and tried to answer many questions, but its impossible not to avoid the nonobjective, so ms. Vice president great. Thank you very much for coming, vladimir vladimirovich. Thank you for answering all my questions. Thank you all, have a nice evening. So, the image of the future is the final questions of this large Plenary Session of the Eastern Economic forum and, in fact, the programmatic statement of the russian president , which de facto outlines the state to which the state is moving as a single mechanism. And what it strives to be today, tomorrow and always is in line with this thesis of the head of state. We will certainly be back. A for now we will try to analyze everything that was said by the russian president. Moreover, a lot was said. Including regarding the development of the far east , traditionally at the Eastern Economic forum they talk a lot about this; they make very important decisions and will continue to do so because, as Vladimir Putin said today, the far east is our priority for the entire 21st century. The far east for russia is a strategic priority for the entire 21st century. We wont move away from this. Russia our far east is open to strengthening trade cooperation ties and the potential of such cooperation. It is simply impossible to overestimate the far eastern Federal District this is 40 of the territory of the russian federation, almost half of our forests and gold reserves are located here, and more than 70 of fish, diamonds, over 30 of titanium, copper, and so on , the most important strategic enterprises, sea ports and railways work in a word role the far east for our country, for its future, for the opposition to russia in a multipolar world, is exceptionally great. Of course for Success Development of the far east as a country as a whole, the connectivity of its territories is very important , a task that the president outlined more than a year ago. And when we talk about connectedness, we mean them. Naturally, a variety of aspects. This is an opportunity for easy and accessible transport links for citizens. And for goods. This, of course, is a single cultural, linguistic, spiritual space. And also the energy space, which is also very important for citizens in our plans to connect Gas Pipelines with the power of siberia and sakhalin khabarovsk vladivostok and then to include them in a single system without supplying the country, that is, to solve, in fact, im not afraid of this word, the global task historical for our country to integrate into one whole the Gas Transportation networks of the west and east of the russian federation. Along with the construction of the siberian power2 gas pipeline, this will allow us not only work flexibly on Global Energy markets, which is in demand today, as we know, but first of all , significantly expand the Gasification Program of buryatia, transbaikal territory and other far eastern regions to give industry here in the far east, Additional Resources will be provided to provide cities and towns with environmentally friendly fuel. Moreover, for gasification. Kamchatka will use the capabilities of a liquefied natural gas terminal, which one of our companies has already created. Let me remind you that the current Eastern Economic forum is being held for the eighth time and this year one of the important tasks is to summarize the work within the framework of the president s instructions for the development of the far east , which was given 10 years ago. It is now obvious that a lot has been done moreover, a number of initiatives turned out to be very promising and were extended to other regions. In particular , the far eastern mortgage was taken advantage of by many residents of this part of the country, but as the minister for the development of the far east and Arctic Alexey Chekunkov spoke about the day before at an almost overnight meeting. Now prices per square meter are growing throughout the country in the far east; the rate of this growth is slightly lower than the overall russian rate, but growth nonetheless. This one, of course, also exists, and therefore it would be logical to make the ceiling for the far eastern mortgage, that is, the maximum possible amount for it higher and judging by what we heard today, the head. This initiative was recognized as very logical. In the far east , special conditions have been offered for mortgages of up to 6 million rubles. For up to 20 years, the rate is 2 . Using this tool more than 78. 000. Families who have already purchased or built new housing, i propose to adjust the parameters. Far eastern mortgages will increase its attractiveness. My colleagues and i yesterday too they talked about this, namely to raise the upper limit of the loan to nine million rubles for those who want to purchase their own home with an area of 60 m². And thus. Families will have more opportunities to choose an apartment on the primary market or to build their own home, i propose to take the next step and again increase the coverage of this program. Make a mortgage at 2 also available to employees of far Eastern Industrial enterprises. The Industrial Complex was emphasized specifically for all Defense Industry workers in the far east, regardless of their age marital status. Today, the far east, including due to the decisions made over the past 10 years, is very attractive to investors, including, by the way , foreign ones, despite the sanctions, here, of course, the very notorious turn to the east about which everyone talks so much plays a significant role recent years, but attractive. This, of course, is also a thesis for russian investors, who would be very good at investing in their state. Vladimir putin has already spoken at the st. Petersburg international Economic Forum last year, that is , more than 15 months ago and today, almost verbatim, repeated, as if, assuming that not everyone heard him then. Today , logistics chains, uh, supplies of goods, have almost been restored. Eh, everything, how would things get back to normal . Well, we see. This is due to the Exchange Rate of the national currency, including refunds. Eh, a restrained return, a restrained return so mildly, lets say the return of foreign currency earnings is a desire to place something abroad again. Well, we see it, we all we understand that we need to somehow come to an agreement with business, they must understand and proceed from the fact that you will find that it does not work here. Therefore, there is no need to step on the same rake. I am sure that those to whom i am addressing understand me. Foreign guests, the Vice President of laos, took part in todays Plenary Session; they are traveling hutu even before the start of the Plenary Session. Vladimir putin held a bilateral meeting with her and, of course, outlined the range of issues in which cooperation between the two states can be very effective and then, by the way, among these issues was military cooperation. And as it turned out , it continues, and not for the first year. Good evening, mines and ammunition, and this negatively affects the lives of our people , with the support of russia, we were able to clear more than 20,000 hectares of our territories from mines. After clearing the mines, we returned these lands to the People Living in our country. Moreover, cooperation between our states. As you know , it began back in the soviet period of our history for some time, but it was probably suspended. Today its getting more and more and more intensively in russia he draws conclusions from his mistakes, but, however, in some. She never allowed it, in contrast. Lets say from the same western partners at todays Plenary Session. Vladimir putin remembered both at the recent summer russia africa summit and about the mistakes of the colonialists that these same colonialists made. Even seemingly having lost obvious leverage. They still keep repeating it. What is the main thing about the fact that we have never been colonialists anywhere . Our cooperation has always been built on an equal basis or with desire help and support. If you look at africa, yes, our cooperation. Yes, we helped. What are the former colonizers doing when they brought people in cages . And they showed it and put it on display. This means, including social families and individual children. They kept me in cages. Well, how can you forget this . Yes . No one in africa will forget this. And now they are still trying to command and carry out their generally noncolonial policy there, but they have burdened all the countries of africa; they owe a trillion there in dollar terms, that is, they have created such uh, that means a credit Financial System with african countries within the framework of which african countries cannot, by definition, repay the loans issued to them at all. How this is not even a credit relationship, like some kind of attribution. You see, we had completely different approaches. The peculiarity of the format of the Plenary Sessions, including the Eastern Economic forum, as well as many others, is that the range of issues to be raised here is not limited. You can get an answer from the head of state on virtually anything. So today the moderator asked Vladimir Putins initiative about the possibility of transferring russian officials to russian cars. Let me remind you that this is not the first week they have been running. And this is what the president said to niva and volga. But many russian officials were not lucky. Probably because you said that you will need to switch to domestic cars in the nineties. Such an attempt failed , you know, back then there were no cars, but now there are. Um, yes, they maybe somehow look more modest than, uh, generally mercedes or audio, which were in the nineties years began to purchase in huge quantities. Well, nothing, i think we need to take an example in this sense from many of our partners, for example, from partners in india. Yes, there were proposals. Well, that means continuing these purchases. Its not difficult to do, the logistics are well established and the purchases of foreign cars looked uhhuh. So, well, i said that i have big
