Russia will stick to Kant's teaching on peaceful
settlement of disputes - Putin
KALININGRAD. July 3 (Interfax) - Russia is trying and
will continue trying to stick to the teaching of
Immanuel Kant on the need to settle any disputes
between states by peaceful means, President Vladimir
Putin has said. 

Together with German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder he
took part in the ceremony of unveiling a memorial
plaque to the great philosopher on the building of
Kaliningrad university. 

"I want to remind you of one point which is considered
crucial to this day. Kant was categorically opposed to
settling any disputes between states through war," he
told the ceremony. 

"We are trying to stick to his teaching in this
respect," Putin said. [RU EUROPE ASIA EEU EMRG POL] ml
