PRESIDENT OF RUSSIA DMITRY MEDVEDEV: Good afternoon. Mr Astakhov, you have worked as Presidential Commissioner for Children’s Rights for a month now. We have met and discussed various issues. Of course we’re not expecting you to summarise the results of your work but you have identified and assessed the problems that exist. I’ve read a number of your presentations, and they struck me as both reasonable and accurate responses to the problems now confronting us. On what are you planning to focus? What do you see as the most important challenges in the current situation?

Lavrov: It so happened that this year's first scheduled visit by the Russian Foreign Minister abroad was the visit to Yerevan. I agree that it is symbolic. Armenia is our strategic partner and ally. Our relations are fully consistent with these terms.

Press Bulletin #02 27.01.2010 TRANSCRIPT OF REMARKS AND RESPONSE TO MEDIA QUESTIONS BY MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION SERGEY LAVROV AT PRESS CONFERENCE TO SUM UP RUSSIAN FOREIGN POLICY ACTIVITIES IN 2009 (MOSCOW, JANUARY 22, 2010)

Ladies and Gentlemen

Colleagues

Today we are, without exaggeration, at a very crucial stage of modern history as a 20-year transition period in world affairs draws to a close before our eyes, a new coordinate system emerges, the basis for a polycentric system of international relations gets shaped, and a multi-polar reality takes root at all levels. Perhaps the clearest sign of this was last year’s formation of the Group of Twenty.

Press Bulletin #01 13.01.2010 TRANSCRIPT OF THE INTERVIEW OF RUSSIAN FOREIGN MINISTER SERGEY LAVROV TO RUSSIA TODAY TV CHANNEL (MOSCOW, 25 DECEMBER, 2009)

Question: Good afternoon, Sergey Viktorovich, thank you for your time. In 2009 we’ve seen a number of major changes in the Russian-US relations. The missile defense program in Europe has been halted, and we are expecting a new START treaty any time soon. If we continue working at the same pace, what’s going to happen in a year? Which issues are on the agenda of the Russian-US relations in 2010?

Sergey Lavrov: I believe this year is characterized not only by the changes that have taken place within the U.S. leadership, although they do represent some of important events of the outgoing year, primarily in what it concerns the conceptual statements made by President Obama about the need to work on the collective basis and about the fact that no single country today can dictate its will to others… We have welcomed this position and we are working to have precisely the equitable approach assert itself in bilateral Russian-U.S. relations. We are succeeding in doing this; at least the atmosphere that we have in the dialogue with America is totally different by comparison with what it was under the previous administration.
