RUSSIA : Russia wants to avoid any damage to relations with the West over its conflict with Georgia, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Friday after talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
"We, of course, we do not want to see long-term or short-term worsening of relations" with the West, Medvedev told journalists.
"We are ready to work with everyone openly and in good faith and we do not want to curtail our relations with any parties," Medvedev said.
Medvedev was talking a day after US Defense Secretary Robert Gates said relations with Moscow "could be adversely affected for years to come" over Russia's offensive into Georgia.
