Will there be a storm? We will argue

Russia will fight "color revolutions" and provide support from the partner countries to organize a collective security agreement. This was stated in an interview with the Mir 24 television channel President Vladimir Putin.

"We know various theories that are carried out in different regions of the world lead to serious destabilization in these regions. Of course, we should not allow anything like that and we will try in every possible way to behave in Russia in every way and in every possible way support our CSTO partners," Putin said.

In addition to Russia, CSTOs include Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Belarus. The Georgia, Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan previously consisting in the organization left it.

On March 30, Putin at the Arctic Forum in Arkhangelsk stated that the Arab Spring and the events of 2014 in Ukraine began with anti -corruption performances. "This tool was used at the beginning of the so -called" Arab spring. "What it led to, what bloody events in the region this led, we know very well. We also know very well that it was one of the motivation and reasons for the coup in Ukraine," the president emphasized.

“I personally advocate that the issues of the fight against corruption are always in the center of public attention. The only thing I think is wrong-if someone, some political forces are trying to use this instrument in their selfish interests not to improve the situation in the country, but for self-reproduction in the precedence of some political events, including elected campaigns within the country,” Putin said.

Putin also stated that everyone who violates the law, including during rallies, should be punished. Calling to release detainees on Sundays in Moscow and other cities, the West is trying to exert pressure on Russia, the president said. "We consider the questions and appeals to Russia of this kind purely politicized in order to provide pressure on the country's domestic political life," Putin said.

In September last year, the Secretary of the Security Council Nikolai Patrushev discussed with the Chinese security officials the issues of fighting "color revolutions" , as well as terrorism and crime. Patrushev announced the need to withstand the implementation of scripts of “color revolutions” in April 2016 at the opening of a conference on international security. "Many countries are subjected to open political and economic pressure today, lose their ability to make independent decisions. The conditions are created for the change of leadership of states and the implementation of the so -called" color revolutions. "Block diplomacy is being revived, existing and new military -political alliances are being created, contradictions between individual countries are being created," Patrushev listed.
