April 10, 2001

St.Petersburg. We can expect the words uttered during the St.Petersburg Dialogue to be followed by investments, said deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Igor Artemyev in an interview with a correspondent of the"Rosbalt" information agency.

Artemyev also noted that he had obtained a favourable impression from the "St. Petersburg Dialogue" Forum. "This meeting will definitely have some positive impact on Russian-German relations," noted Artemyev, adding that he had previously attended such events, but that "they don't always have such awarm atmosphere Artemyev also said that this may be attributable to the fact that President Putin is regarded to be a Germanophile in Germany and gains special respect.

According to Artemyev, the German participants of the Forum were veryopen and "spoke about Russia as they understood it, without any protocol and in real terms." Therefore Artemyev expressed his hope that some real investments wouldfollow all these words. According to Artemyev, even though he is a member of Yabloko and not a Unity deputy "he was not silenced", and everybody who wanted to speak wasgiven a change to express their opinion.

He also said that when he asked for achange to speak at the round table talk, the moderator Oleg Moroz said with a sign, "This is Igor Artemyev, representative from Yabloko, who will now make a speech about the civil society." "He guessed correctly, as always," noted Artemyev.
