Demars and protests

In the UN building and near him Vladimir Putin, unpleasant surprises can be held out

The UN building, New York, on September 22, 2015 at the UN headquarters, where the general debate of the leaders of the states begin on September 28, Demarchs are preparing Vladimir Putin. As it became known to NT, the Ukrainian delegation intends to defiantly leave the General Assembly Hall during the performance of the Russian leader, who will be the sixth speaker. Moreover, the Ukrainian delegation is expected to be alone - to clap the door in protest against the Kremlin’s policy in the post -Soviet space, according to NT, Georgia and Moldova intend. It is possible that the hall will also leave the delegation of Azerbaijan, outraged by the supply of Russian weapons to Nagorny Karabakh.

“So we want to remind the world about what this“ Peacemaker ”did with our countries,” one of the diplomats on the terms of anonymity told NT.

A spectacular move, the demonstrative exit of the delegation from the hall is a rather spectacular demarche, given that the attention of the world is riveted to the performance of the Russian leader who will try to break through the isolation of Russia on its political conditions. By the way, Russia itself resorted to a similar extent, the delegation of which left the General Assembly Hall in 2008, when Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili was held. He acted in hot pursuit of a military conflict with Russia, as a result of which Moscow recognized South Ossetia and Abkhazia by independent states. What so outraged Russian diplomats - accusations of imperial policy against former Soviet republics? You can recall the words of Saakashvili, offended the Kremlin: “Moldova is in a state of blockade. Ukraine is constantly under the attack. Azerbaijan is faced with extraordinary pressure. And Georgia is occupied. Why? Because the empire is trying to recover within its former borders. The word "borders" in this case, of course, is not entirely true. Neither the Russian Empire, nor the Soviet Union, nor the Eurasian Union had no boundaries - they had only the outskirts. And today I speak on behalf of these outskirts. Unlike most Russians, the government of this country is not interested in the fact that their neighbors have a stable atmosphere. In the countries that are around Russia should always be restless - this is what the Kremlin wants. ”

The commentary of the Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vitaly Churkin was even more categorical than Saakashvili's speech. “It was not even a performance, but a set of delusional fabrications, which were not just anti -Russian, but Russophobic and anti -Orthodox character. Fortunately for the Georgian people, the sunset of the political career of this person is close, whose mental state requires a professional assessment, ”a senior Russian diplomat said then.

By the way, more often other obstruction with a demonstrative exit from the hall on a high-level debate at the UN headquarters was arranged by the US delegation. From year to year, she had to protest with her feet against the speeches of the odious president of Iran Mahmud Ahmadinejad. In 2010, for example, he voiced his version of the attacks on September 11, 2001, for which, according to him, there are “some people from the American government”, who thus tried to “save the world economy from falling and maintaining the Zionist regime in the Middle East.” Together with the American delegation, the Genassamlei Hall then left diplomats of a number of countries, including the UK and France.

The street format Street is preparing to meet the Kremlin guest with its protests. Thus, the international movement "Avtomaydan-New York" calls the supporters on the morning of September 28 to move to the UN headquarters under the anti-Putin slogans, including unprintable content. The last time the demonstrators demanded to call on the response of the Kremlin leader on March 1 of this year after the loud murder of Boris Nemtsov.

Of course, the Russian president in New York has not only opponents, but also supporters and fans who also openly demonstrate their views. Transparanth "Putin is right!" It is installed on the 42nd Street, according to which the delegates of the General Assembly are held at the UN headquarters. The English -speaking picketer asks for financial remembrance and spreads leaflets that "Obama intends to unleash a thermonuclear war against Russia."
