Probably the first time in many years, the Russian-Kyrgyz negotiations, which took place at the highest level in St. Petersburg, became the object of attention of the world press. Vladimir Putin and his Kyrgyz counterpart Almazbek Atambayev did not sign important documents, and did not try to solve some loudly expressed in the information field of bilateral cooperation. The previous week in the press speculation about the health and whereabouts of the Russian leader. By the weekend it all turned into an easy fit: many publications panicked, pulling each his version of events. “Boring is not gossip,” – said Putin, who came to the meeting with the Kyrgyz guests who had the rare honor: the head of the Russian Federation to present to the public tired of waiting.
And the information field is still rife with rumors. Even on Monday morning, when it was more or less clear agenda of the president – the head of state were still “seek”, pushing sometimes not the most appropriate version. Meanwhile, talks with Atambayev were to be held in St. Petersburg, Putin could spend the weekend in his hometown. But, it turned out, the choice of places affected by family circumstances other president: in Peter learns daughter Atambayev. This, he asked his Russian counterpart to reschedule the Northern capital.
The meeting place of the two presidents confused and journalists. Some have suggested that in fact the presidential plane will land in the Crimea. And Putin will take part in the celebration of the anniversary of joining the peninsula to Russia. In Crimea, on this day was just the holiday weekend. And the picture would come out spectacular. But in Crimea Putin still has not departed. Moreover, even this does not plan to in the next few days.
Vladimir Putin meeting with Almazbek Atambayev at the Constantine Palace in Strelna
As announced the Kremlin press service, the meeting with Atambayev was held at the Constantine Palace in Strelna. But rumors proliferated until the appearance of the presidents before the cameras. The most ridiculous of them: the presidential motorcade to be the Constantine Palace … without Putin. Ironically, at this time, Putin really was not in the motorcade, and behind the wheel. He bowled Atambayev to Strelna, featuring local beauty.
«That is the president of Russia, not only walks, he rides just like that! Guests at the wheel rolls. So, as they say, do not wait! “- Happily shared with the press Atambayev. Of course, he knew that now he is expected to experience. Russian president just shook his hand. A strong handshake from him – “hand breaks” as joking presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov.
«I, with your permission, Vladimir Vladimirovich. I want to add to the press. This was less to gossip – a little confused continued Atambayev. – I myself often hear different rumors. This, of course, is not quite right. ”
«Boring is not gossip,” – said Putin on this.

However, his press secretary will not be bored. Throughout the past week Peskov commented even the most ridiculous rumors. “We’re talking ten times. Can no longer! “- Finally he told reporters. And he began to ask questions: “Well, they saw a broken palsy president, captured generals who have the flu? Just flown in from Switzerland, where he took birth is known. ” This was not irony and mockery of rumors. But not all caught the tone of voice the Press Secretary.
«And what can you say about the arrival of Putin Swiss doctor, who also wrote about the press?” – Insisted nevertheless someone from the foreign media.
«Yes, he was also among the generals who took Putin” – continued Sands. But then all went to the same serious tone and said without irony, added that “the best evidence of the health of the president is taking place in Strelna meeting».
During the conversation about health almost lost agenda of the talks. And yet, it was not without interest. Atambayev said that Bishkek wants to become a full member of the Eurasian Economic Union before May 9 this year. “There are still alive veterans who remember a single country, so it would be nice to avoid customs borders,” – he said.

Half of this amount will be directly transferred to the fund in the form of share capital 500 million Russia agrees to enlist him in the form of a loan from the World Bank Group.
