Putin: Russia doesn't want military organization to be working near its borders

MOSCOW. March 18 (Interfax) - President Vladimir Putin said Russia does not want "a military organization to be bossing us around near Russia's border."

"We do not want a military organization to be bossing us around near our fence, next to our home or in our historical territories. You know, I cannot imagine us going to Sevastopol as NATO sailors' guests," Putin told the Federal Assembly on Tuesday.

"By the way, most of them are excellent people. But better, let them come to Sevastopol as our guests, rather than us visiting them," he said.
