Medvedev: The goal is a world without nuclear weapons

MOSCOW - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said yesterday that the chances to reach agreement with the U.S. on the reduced nuclear weapons before the expiration of the agreement start in December, "really not bad."
- You must show the wisdom of both sides and a desire to hear the other party, and to understand some of the contemporary reality. The main differences are related to missile defense issues and control of carriers warheads. We believe that the agreement should be fixed on the levels of control and combat and the strategic charge carriers. We have a chance to move this process and we will deal with time. I call on the same our American partners - said, adding that they should seek a world without nuclear weapons.
- Today there is such a common task, for which many people seem to generally not be fulfilled. However, a world without nuclear weapons is an ideal that should be on the agenda. There are countries that have nuclear weapons to conventional principles and there are actual members of the "nuclear club" that does not admit having nuclear weapons, but everyone knows that it has. Generally we are not interested in expansion of the nuclear club, as the situation may get out of control - said Medvedev.
