claim on the Arctic continental shelf is justified, President Vladimir Putin
said Monday and urged other nations to resolve all controversial issues through
dialog, the RIA Novosti news agency reports.
"There has been much ado around the Arctic region. You know how the
[Russian] flag was erected [on the seabed] and how negatively our neighbors
reacted to this. Nobody has ever stopped them from erecting their own flags. Let
them do it. But we work under the rules established by the United Nations and
in line with international maritime laws," Putin said.
Putin said he hopes participants of an April 22-23 conference on the
Arctic
"will discuss the existing disputes in a calm and neighborly manner...will
listen to each other rather than exchange threats on nonexisting issues."
