Obama: US supports democracy in Ukraine

                President of the United States Barack Obama is currently in Greece with his last foreign visit as a President. Today in his speech at the Stavros Niarchos Cultural Center in Athens he has unfolded the essence of democracy nowadays. He also outlined that US supports Ukraine and its citizens on the way of bringing the democracy and the rule of law to their state. According to Obama the democratic states with strong democratic institutions are more stable and prosper more. His words rang out in the country where democracy was born long time ago – in Ellada. However, there are still vast numbers of countries where people cannot use fully their rights as citizens.

No place for human rights

        In Russia, where rule of law “presents in its strongest form”, the situation when human rights activists and journalist were beaten was accepted as a minor rumor. The human rights activists from Russia, Norway and Sweden were driving in the Chechen Republic in Russia, when their car was stopped and burnt. People were beaten badly and their belongings were taking away. The administration of the President of he Republic did not confirm the incident. It is a clear signal that on that territory there are another rules and one should play according them.
