Prime Minister Vladimir Putin meeting with Stavropol Territory Governor Valery Gayevsky during his working trip to the North Caucasus Federal District.
“The Caucasus is definitely a very distinct region of Russia. You have welcomed me in different languages, but we have many things in common, in particular a common homeland, Russia. It is what unites us. We have common roots and, more importantly, a common future.”
“I would like to emphasise that ensuring the broad involvement of young people in addressing our common problems, providing them with access to education and creating opportunities for their professional self-actualisation are among the key priorities of our state policy. We intend to pursue these goals here in the North Caucasus. At the same time, we need to understand clearly that this region is very distinctive and has its own ethnic and cultural particularities.”
