- KHANTY-MANSIYSK, Russia. Sept 23 (Interfax) - The Russian Foreign Ministry's human rights commissioner has attacked a U.S. senator for offensive comments about the Russian president's commissioner for children's rights.
- Sen. Mary Landrieu launched a virulent attack on Pavel Astakhov during an interview with Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. "He doesn't want to hear the truth," she said. "He's an ass. You can write that: He's an ass!"
- Astakhov refused to meet with Landrieu and other U.S. lawmakers during a trip to the United States in June this year.
- "It is undoubtedly an insult to a senior official," Konstantin Dolgov, the Russian Foreign Ministry's commissioner for human rights, told a news conference as part of a Russian-American forum in Khanty-Mansiysk.
- "If I served at the U.S. State Department, I would issue an official statement distancing myself from what the senator said. I hope that the State Department doesn't share this position," he said.
- Dolgov said this piece of "hooliganism" would deserve no comment if it hadn't come from someone in the U.S. government.
- "We are aware that Sen. Landrieu is actively working on the adoption problem, she was one of the senators who has asking the Russian side for quite a long time and so agonizingly to resume the process of adoption of Russian children [by Americans]," he said.
- American delegates to the forum argued that comments such as Landrieu's might make it harder for the Americans to persuade Russia to lift its ban on the adoption of Russian orphans by Americans.
