MOSCOW, April 20 /TASS/. The Russian political system needs new people to keep the country united and peaceful, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a video conference with participants in the primaries of the United Russia party, in which Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev took part.
"You have said that the political system needs new blood. This is exactly what it needs! You are absolutely right," Putin said in reply to a statement by a combat operations veteran, a participant in primaries in Krasnoyarsk.
"To keep the country united and to avoid bloodshed
in our country the political system should get new blood. Fresh, interested, promising
people should be joining politics - people who know what is to be done and how
it is to be done," the president explained.
"The people selected by the United Russia party are
mature and well-prepared. They genuinely want to do a good cause in the broadest
sense of this word. I am not going to talk about any politics, I just want to
say about the sincere desire to work for the good of the people of
Russia," Putin concluded wishing success to the primaries’ participants.
Vladimir Putin also said that he hopes the United Russia
Party’s primaries will be held in a more civilized way than in other countries.
"As far as your debates are concerned, I do hope
that they will be held at a high level of culture, that we will not follow in
the footsteps of certain countries of so-called advanced democracy, where
candidates keep swearing at each other," Putin said in a video conference
with participants in United Russia primaries.
