ATHENS. Oct 21 (Interfax) - Russia stands ready for dialogue and for negotiations with NATO if a signal to this effect is received from the alliance, Russian Federation Council Speaker Valentina Matviyenko said.
"We've dotted all the i's and crossed all the t's. At the same time, if NATO displays real interest, if there is a roadmap outlining avenues where they're ready to cooperate with Russia, and if there's a sincere desire to interact, we're ready. If such a signal is received, we'll hold talks," Matviyenko told reporters on Thursday.
