Putin may runn for president again in 2012

Vladimir Putin, Russia’s prime minister, has said he will think about running for president again in 2012 and also vowed that Moscow would step up its efforts against terrorism. Putin made the remarks during a wide-ranging four-hour question-and-answer session broadcast live on television that highlighted his dominance of Russia’s political scene. “I will think about it, there is still enough time,” Putin said when asked whether he would run in the next election. He added that he wanted to focus now on his job as prime minister and make sometimes unpopular decisions without having to take electoral considerations into account. Source: Ajazeera
