The relations now have hit the bottom, there are certain consequences of the unfriendly measures taken against our country and the retaliatory measures taken by us.

Dmitry Peskov

This is unimaginable and someone has to say -- all this is not true. We have to be sober, let's come to our minds.

For us, we are interested in having a predictable partner, a predictable vis a vis for the dialogue.

It is so absurd it borders on total stupidity, as regards these( email) batches, that is not our headache. We never poke our noses into others' affairs and we really don't like it when people try to poke their nose into ours.

Certainly, we welcome the main decision which allows so-called clean athletes to take part in the Olympic Games, given the permission of international (sports) federations.

Our air force operation is continuing in Syria, it is not a secret for anyone that the continuing mingling in places of the so-called moderate opposition with Al-Nusra is a really serious problem.

It really is complicating anti-terrorist action. by Dmitry Peskov

It really is complicating anti-terrorist action.

We cannot agree with such accusations, on the contrary, we were keen that our position be understood, we were talking about a citizen of the Russian Federation. Any country expresses its concerns (in such cases). It would be wrong to look for any hidden agenda.

Assad highly valued the help Russian air forces have provided and underlined that such successes as regaining Palmyra would have been impossible without Russia's support.

In general, we see that overseas they have started preparing for Russia's presidential election which is still more than two years away, it is clear that negative stuff is being accumulated to be used against the head of our state ... to exert pressure and influence the course of the future election campaign.

The president is mobilized, fully mobilized, mobilized to the extent that circumstances demand, the circumstances are unprecedented. The gauntlet thrown down to Russia is unprecedented. So naturally the reaction is in line with this threat.

What's important is that everyone who is able to use their influence to guarantee at least some predictability in the pattern of Turkey's behavior, russian planes should never be shot down.

Nobody has the right to traitorously shoot down a Russian plane from behind.

We're not imposing any embargo, . These (restrictions) are introduced due to an increasing danger from various manifestations of extremism. Of course, additional control measures are taken. This is rather natural, especially taking into account the unpredictable actions of the Republic of Turkey.

This has nothing to do with democracy, self-expression or whatever.

Theories about what happened and the causes of the incident can only be pronounced by the investigation.

Putin called and said, 'I know you were called by pranksters; don't get offended by those guys, they are harmless, though this certainly does not justify their actions,'.

We have said this before and we will repeat it again : theories about what happened and the causes of the incident can only be pronounced by the investigation, so far, we have heard nothing( like this) from the investigation. Any kind of similar assumptions like this are based on information that has not been checked or are speculation.

In the last few days we have seen a huge number of media hoaxes and deliberate data releases concerning the consequences of the Russian military air campaign in Syria, i think that this report is probably one of those.

Such details are of course unavailable. by Dmitry Peskov

Such details are of course unavailable.

It's important to understand that this operation is to support the Syrian army in the fight with ISIS and other extremist groups, there's a list of these groups, they all are known. Of course all targets are located in coordination with the Syrian army.
