“In Russia, there were also questions about Telegram co-founder Pavel Durov, but no one arrested him here.”
Oku.Az Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said these words in an interview with the program “Moscow. Kremlin. Putin” and a fragment of the program was broadcast by journalist Pavel Zarubin on his “Telegram” channel.
“If Durov is arrested in Russia, does the Kremlin have anything to say to European politicians who might react quite harshly?” Zarubin asked Peskov.
“No, I have nothing to say to you. I just want to say that, of course, we had questions, but nobody arrested him,” the president’s press secretary said.
Dmitry Peskov stressed that terrorists use not only couriers but also cars, while no one arrests car manufacturers.
“Yes, indeed, terrorists use the Telegram network. But terrorists also use cars. Why don’t they arrest the CEO of Renault or Citroen, a French car manufacturer?” – said the Kremlin representative.
