Two years ago, in Samarkand, when I met with Putin, I told him to his face, in front of the press, that this is not an era of war. And last month, when I visited Russia to meet with Putin, I told him very clearly that problems cannot be solved on the battlefield. The only way to overcome the problems is through dialog and diplomacy. And that we should move in this direction without wasting time. Both sides will have to sit down together and look for ways out of this crisis
