Obama administration did not have enough awareness of common responsibility for future of intl initiatives - Medvedev

MOSCOW. Jan 20 (Interfax) - The outgoing U.S. administration was unable to put the future of international relations above its own interests, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said.

He said on his Facebook page that Russia is "a country with a defense potential equal to that of America's" and that "the future of the main international initiatives depends on the relations between the U.S. and Russia, without any exaggeration."

"We may often like or not like something in the policies of our key partners, but we have to remember about common responsibility. And that is something that the Obama administration lacked," the Russian prime minister said.
