The talks about the third presidential term for Vladimir Putin should not be taken seriously, Vladimir Churov said.
“I believe the third term is impossible for him,” the new chairman of the Central Elections Commission, who came into office last week, said.
“It is a great burden, a great job that he has been doing for eight years. It makes one think of some change of occupation. At least I am used to believing what Vladimir Putin says.”
“And as all these years he has clearly adhered to one position, there are no reasons to doubt it," Kommersant quoted the official.
Vladimir Putin “has not deceived anyone, therefore I don't think one should be talking of a third term. Only if it is a thought expressed aloud,” Mr Churov said.
