Moscow, November 5, 2015. No one can scare Russia - the President Vladimir Putin said November 3, at the meeting with representatives of the scientific, cultural, religious and social organizations of Dagestan.

Putin noted that the Russian people overall, and especially Dagestanis, cannot be intimidated by anyone; it is absolutely "an exercise in futility" as lawyers say. Our goal in Syria, and anywhere else is to fight against terrorism.

We are ready to cooperate with all the forces that are fighting against terrorism, regardless of their religious affiliation. I want to inform you that we hold this work very extensively.
