Do not underestimate power of Russia - N.Nazarbayev

In his address to the nation, Vladimir Putin said Russia is open for dialogue with the West. "Russia is not going to be closed from the world. On the contrary, it wants to cooperate," said Nursultan Nazarbayev at a press conference with French President Francois Hollande in Astana on December 5. "All the international laws are violated, G-8 has disbanded, where is it all going?" Nazarbayev expressed his concerns over the sanction war between Russia and the West. "Do not underestimate the power of Russia. It is the largest and the richest country. It is affected by the sanctions, surely, however it still has gas, oil, and everything else. The economic crisis tends to last for not so long, any war ends with peace," concluded the President of Kazakhstan.
