U.S. Senator John McCain gave a lecture on democracy in Vilnius University
and he talked there about Georgia
too, - the agency “Regnum” reports based on Lithuanian media.
Namely, McCain noted that Georgia managed to open a way for
talented people. The senator also said that the United
States should help Georgia in its armament, so that,
if necessary, it could defend itself.
John McCain also talked about Russian new-elected
president and said, that “a wind of change” blows in Russia and many things has
already changed: “Next week, Vladimir Putin will be inaugurated once again as
President of Russia, and there is a great deal of speculation about what he
will do upon his return to that office. Aside from Mr. Putin himself, I doubt
anyone really knows. I certainly do not, although I have my strong suspicions
based on past experience…. It is my hope, and I know I am not alone
in expressing it, that the President-elect of Russia might choose to confound
the prevailing expectations of him – for example, by adopting a more cooperative
posture toward NATO and the United States… by treating Russia’s smaller
neighbors with respect for their sovereign equality…”, - McCain said.
