The tragedy of WWI reminds us what excessive ambitions, an unwillingness to listen to each other and violations of liberties lead to, Russian President said. He was speaking at the opening ceremony of the memorial to the Heroes of the WWI in Moscow. “And instead of saving the most successful continent in the world – Europe – [ambitions and aggression] are endangering it.” Numerous examples in world history show “what a terrible price” is paid if human rights and liberties are violated for the sake of serving vested interests. “Humankind should grasp one truth: violence generates violence. And the way to peace and prosperity is made up of good will and dialogue, and the memory of the lessons of the last wars.” According Putin, the memorial which has been opened in Moscow on Friday is not only “a tribute to the great deeds,” but also a warning that “this peace is fragile.”
