Russia raps US for inciting unrest

Press TV – December 8, 2011

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has accused US officials of provoking post-election unrest in his country, saying “no one wanted to see chaos” in Russia.

Putin said on Thursday that US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton has given signals to the Russian opposition to pour into streets to challenge the results of the recent parliamentary elections in the country.

US officials’ disapproval of the elections” had set the tone for some people inside the country and given a signal,” said the Russian premier, quoted in an AFP report.

He added that hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign funds have been used to influence the recent elections.

Calling for dialog between the opposition and authorities, Putin said that law-breakers must face full force of the law.

“If somebody breaks the law then the security forces must implement the law with full legal means,” Putin said.

His comments come after mass protests contested the results of Sunday’s polls in which Putin’s party won almost half the votes. Around 1,000 protesters have been arrested in the days following the polls.

Clinton has alleged that Russia’s parliamentary vote was rigged, demanding a full investigation. In response, Russia has accused the US and its allies of meddling in Moscow’s internal affairs.
