The verbal duel, Russia - US Bashny.Net

Representatives of Russia and the United States in the UN exchanged barbs after the US ambassador was invited to the meeting participants of the group Pussy Riot.
Meeting with member of the punk band in New York was organized by the US representative to the United Nations Samantha Power. As reported later, the official representative of the American mission Curtis Cooper, during the ongoing "no more than an hour of conversation," discussed the "disturbing trends in Russia in the field of criminal law, as well as the government's actions aimed at suppressing dissent and struggle with social organizations that protect the basic human rights" .
In response to a request by journalists to comment on the event, the representative of the Russian Federation to the UN Vitaly Churkin said that surprised that the American ambassador has not yet joined a punk band.
"I think she could arrange for them to speak at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC, or even go together on a world tour" - the Russian diplomat suggested. According to Vitaly Churkin, the program of this tour could be quite extensive.
"At first, St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, then maybe Mecca in Saudi Arabia, and eventually gala concert at the Western Wall in Jerusalem - listed on.- I'll be disappointed if the ambassador Power can not cope with this task." < br />
