MOSCOW VIEWS U.S.-PASSED RUSSIAN DEMOCRACY ACT AS
BORDERING ON INTERFERENCE IN RUSSIA'S INTERNAL AFFAIRS
MOSCOW, NOVEMBER 4, 2002. /FROM A RIA NOVOSTI CORRESPONDENT/ -- Moscow believes that the Russian Democracy Act adopted in the United States borders on intervention in the internal affairs of Russia.
As authors of this document say, the act is aimed at implementing humanitarian programmes for the development of democracy and civic society, promoting justice and legality, the independent mass media in Russia, the RIA Novosti correspondent was told at the Press and Information Board of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
"Care for bilateral humanitarian cooperation could only be welcomed, were it not for the didactic tone bordering on interference in internal affairs," said the Press and Information Board.
The Russian Foreign Ministry stresses that authors of the act fail to notice the Russian-American documents adopted at the summit level which declare strategic partnership between the two wholly equal great democratic states.
In the opinion of the Russian side, "certain American legislators have become so much bogged in electioneering battles in the United States that they merely cannot follow the world developments."
