"..In the struggle of the Bengali people for independence in 1971, we recognize the role of the Soviet Union. He was the first to recognize the new sovereign republic and assisted in the reconstruction of the economy destroyed during the war of liberation. An important point is the visit in 1972 of the first President of Bangladesh, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, to the USSR. Agreements were signed that laid the foundation for bilateral cooperation for decades to come..."

Now imagine a young Bengali talking about the long relationship with Britain...

thanks karl... i enjoyed reading this..

lavrov is a brilliant speaker, so very capable of laying russias viewpoint out so clearly and with a great degree of detail and insight... there is no one on the other side of his argument that can present anything that touches him! no one in the west can articulate the west's viewpoint and position here with this type of finesse.. they are incapable.. so they get the msm to harp on 24-7 about how crimea must be returned to ukraine, but not a word on kosovo and on and on the double speak, or omission of details goes... on the other hand we have lavrov who calls a spade a spade and sees clearly all that is at play... he's no fool, and yet the west does all it can to silence this alternative viewpoint to what is taking place on the world stage with regard to ukraine and much, much more.. thank god we have lavrov and you share his commentary when it becomes available..
