"I respect President Putin's vision for Russia, a country at peace within its borders, with its neighbors, and with the world."

"A lasting solution to that conflict will require an end to terror, respect for human rights, and a political settlement that leads to free and fair elections."

"If democracy and tolerance and peace advance in that region, it will undermine the bitterness and resentment that feed terrorism."
