According to the Russian President, among the many contemporary threats, perhaps the most important remains the inflammation of interethnic and inter-religious conflicts. Attempts to drag the international community into this essentially artificial conflict are being made in the West and in the East.
At the same time, Vladimir Putin said, attempts to provoke Islamophobia in Russia have failed completely, and Muslims are a full and integral part of the peoples of Russia. In this religious harmony we see the strength of our country, its worth, wealth and advantage, said Vladimir Putin.
