Khakamada critical of Putin's address

MOSCOW. April 25 (Interfax) - Our Choice party leader Irina Khakamada thinks that President Vladimir Putin did not touch upon fundamental aspects of national development in his Monday state of the nation address and mostly aimed at receiving a positive response from the West.

"The address was not fundamental, but looked like an export product by its liberal rhetoric and ritual statements addressed to the West," Khakamada told Interfax on Monday.
