February 17, 2001

Obviously President Vladimir Putin has a strong side - he is results-driven According to the RIA Novosti correspondent, this statement was made by the leader of the Yabloko Association Grigory Yavlinsky.

Speaking at a meeting of the Central Council of the Association, which opened on February 17, in Moscow Region, Grigory Yavlinsky noted that "the Kremlin and the President conduct a dialogue with all political forces." "This has never happened in Russia before," stressed Grigory Yavlinsky.

At the same time, the leader of Yabloko said that frequently "proclaimed goals turn out to be virtual".

Yavlinsky added that the authorities demonstrate "intolerance to criticism together with pressure on the mass media."

The leader of Yabloko is also concerned by the fact that parliament "easily adopts decisions that satisfy the authorities".

Stating that Yabloko is part of the democratic opposition, Yavlinsky stressed at the same time that the Association supports an open dialogue with the authorities. "We think that it is necessary to conduct such a dialogue on all key issues," noted the leader of the Association.
